==Themes and Navigation==
The '''[[Angler's Tunnel]]''' is the fourth dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. The entrance to this tunnel is
The interior of this {{Term|LADX|Dungeon|link}} is mostly gray flooring with blue-green walls. This {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}} also has a few blue-green tiles and is flooded in a few areas. To get past these flooded areas, the {{Term|LADX|Flippers|link}} are required, which are the item contained in the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}}. However, to reach it {{Term|LADX|Link|link}} must fight the mini-boss, {{Term|LADX|Cue Ball|link}}. {{Term|LADX|Link}} fights this monster in a room with some shallow water and a large column, forcing both {{Term|LADX|Link}} and {{Term|LADX|Cue Ball}} to move on the edges of the room. {{Term|LADX|Cue Ball}} is large, and takes up all of the space between the column and wall, forcing {{Term|LADX|Link}} to run from him. Only {{Term|LADX|Cue Ball}}'s backside is vulnerable to {{Term|LADX|Link}}'s {{Term|LADX|Sword|link}}. Defeating this monster allows {{Term|LADX|Link}} to reach the room where the {{Term|LADX|Flippers}} are hidden.
behind a raging waterfall on the base of [[Tal Tal Heights]], just north of [[Animal Village]]. Much like [[Tail Cave]] and [[Key Cavern]], the dungeons before it, Angler's Tunnel also requires a key. The [[Angler Key]] is in the [[Yarna Desert]], south-east of Animal Village. But a sleeping walrus blocks [[Link]]'s path, and thus he must return to [[Mabe Village]] and ask for [[Marin]]'s assistance. When taken to the walrus, she will sing the [[Ballad of the Wind Fish]] and the walrus will wake up and leave. The key is being held by a [[Lanmola]]s who will drop the key once defeated. With the key in hand, Link needs to reach the keyhole by traveling to north-west [[Ukuku Prairie]] and continue to go east until he finds the keyhole. Upon inserting the key into its keyhole, the waterfall will stop and will reveal a riverside tunnel in the shape of a large fish. To actually get into the dungeon, Link must climb the Tal Tal Mountain Range and drop down from a cliff. The interior of this dungeon is mostly gray flooring with blue-green walls. This dungeon also has a few blue-green tiles and is flooded in a few areas.


The main tool of this dungeon are the [[Flippers]], which are obviously necessary to swim to new rooms and is a must to defeat the dungeon's boss. The boss of this dungeon is the [[Angler Fish]], and is the only boss in ''Link's Awakening'' that challenges Link to a side-view battle underwater. The Angler Fish guards the fourth [[Eight Instruments of the Sirens|Instrument of the Siren]], the [[Surf Harp]].
There is a tile puzzle in the next room, which can be solved by stepping on the {{Plural|LADX|Flashing Tile|link}} in the correct order.<ref>{{Cite|The glint of the tile will be your guide...|Owl Statue|LADX}}</ref> This order must also be used for another identical set of tiles elsewhere in the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}}, despite that set not flashing. This opens the way to the {{Term|LADX|Nightmare Key|link}}, which unlocks the room where the {{Term|LADX|Boss}}, the {{Term|LADX|Angler Fish|link}}, is fought. The battle takes place underwater, and the {{Term|LADX|Angler Fish}} attacks by charging at {{Term|LADX|Link}} and the wall. Hitting the wall makes rocks fall from the ceiling. Smaller {{Plural|LADX|Fish}} also swim through, who can be killed with one swing but do not charge {{Term|LADX|Link}} directly.


When looked on a map, the dungeon is in the shape of either a small fish or a fishing hook. This dungeon is probably a reference to the boss's name, Angler Fish and may suggest that this dungeon belongs to it, or a possible reference to the dungeon's shape - an angler is another word for a fisherman.
When looked on the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon Map|link}}, the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}} is in the shape of either a small {{Term|LADX|Fish}} or a {{Term|LADX|Fishing Hook|link}}. {{Term|LADX|Water|link}} is a very important aspect of the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}}, as it was originally behind a waterfall and many areas can only be accessed by swimming.

{{Noncanon|Start}}
In the {{LA|Cagiva}}, after {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Link|link}} defeats the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Lanmola|link}} and obtains the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Angler Key|link}}, the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Owl|link}} mentions that {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Angler's Tunnel}} is found in the eastern part of the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Tal Tal Mountain Range|link}}. After finding the entrance, {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Link}} uses the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Angler Key}} to stop the waterfall and gain access to the interior. Once inside, {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Link}} defeats various enemies and {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Hydrosoar|link}} to finally access the underwater chamber where the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Angler Fish|link}} is found. While fighting it, {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Link}} breaks his {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Sword|link}} after stabbing the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Angler Fish}}'s head, defeating it in the process. He then exits the dungeon with the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Surf Harp|link}} in hand.
