Each of the first nine [[Dungeon]]s in ''The Legend of Zelda'' is shaped in a specific design, which corresponds to the name of the dungeon. The first labyrinth is referred to as the [[Level 1: The Eagle|Eagle]], while the fourth dungeon is referred to as the [[Level 4: The Snake|Snake]]. The third dungeon of the game is referred to as the [[Level 3: The Manji|Manji]], and it is in the shape of a left-facing Swastika. The term Manji is actually a Japanese character and it is very common in Japanese culture. Because of this, it slipped into the game without considering the sensitivity of the symbol. The Manji is considered offensive in western countries due to its relationship to Nazism, though the Nazi swastika faces the opposite direction of the Manji. | Each of the first nine [[Dungeon]]s in ''The Legend of Zelda'' is shaped in a specific design, which corresponds to the name of the dungeon.
