The Ice Tower is featured in the A Link to the Past comic by Shotaro Ishinomori. During Link's search for a map of the Dark World to know the whereabouts of Turtle Rock, the young hero travels to the Ice Tower, where they are confronted by Kholdstone. Link reveals that all he wants is to see the map of the Dark World,[7] but Kholdstone mentions that the map is his greatest treasure and will not let anyone see it.[8] The monster unleashes two Stalfos to attack Link, but when the young hero sees that they keep respawning even after defeating them, he begins to focus his power on the Master Sword,[9] which causes for the tower to begin to collapse. Kholdstone warns Link that if he destroys the tower, then he will destroy the map as well, making him realize that the map is etched on the tower's floor.[10][11] However, the tower collapses shortly after, with Link landing near the location of Turtle Rock.
