'''Level 5: The Lizard''' is the fifth [[dungeon]] found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. Known by many because of its hard-to-find location, this dungeon hides the fifth [[Triforce Shard]] of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. The Lizard is one of the more difficult dungeons in the game, filled with stronger enemies in greater numbers. Its location is in northern [[Hyrule]], near [[Death Mountain]]. It can only be travelled to if [[Link]] first enters the [[Lost Hills]], and travels upward four times. The [[Boss]] of this dungeon is called [[Digdogger (The Legend of Zelda)|Digdogger]]. Once Link has defeated Digdogger, he can collect the fifth Triforce Shard.

This dungeon introduces two brand new enemies, the first being a [[Pols Voice]], a rabbit-like creature that can easily be killed with the [[Bow]]. The second is called a [[Gibdo]], which appears as an undead mummy. Any [[sword]] works best on them. The rest of the enemies found in this dungeon have been seen before. Below is a list of all the enemies in the dungeon.

The boss of The Lizard is known as Digdogger. This circle-shaped monster has a single eye that lies in the middle of its body. The room in which the battle takes place is directly south of the room where the Triforce Shard is located. Also, there are four [[Stone Statue]]s in the area that shoot fireballs at Link while he is fighting Digdogger. While Digdogger is still large, he cannot be defeated. In order to inflict damage, Link must play his Recorder, which shrinks Digdogger into a much smaller version of itself. Link can now attack unmercifully, until Digdogger is dead and the way to the fifth Triforce Shard is opened.

The [[Compass]] is used by Link to display the location of the Triforce Shard that is hidden in the dungeon via a blinking spot on the map. This basically leads Link right to his destination, which is of course the Triforce Shard. The Compass is being guarded by three Red [[Darknut]]s, and does not appear until Link has defeated all three of these Darknuts. This particular room is found three rooms up, one room right, and one room up from the entrance to the dungeon.
