'''Level 3: The Manji''' is the third [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. Link travels here directly after he has acquired the second [[Triforce Shard]] from the second dungeon, [[Level 2: The Moon|The Moon]]. The Manji can be reached by travelling one screen up, four screens left, one screen down, and finally one screen right from the [[Starting Screen]]. The [[Boss]] of this dungeon is called [[Manhandla (The Legend of Zelda)|Manhandla]], and it guards the third Triforce Shard from Link. After defeating Manhandla, Link can collect the Triforce Shard and leave the dungeon.

The [[Boss]] of The Manji is known as Manhandla. Manhandla is a giant plant-like monster, with a main body and four circle heads sticking out on each side of its body. It is very vulnearable to [[Bomb]]s and can possibly be killed in one Bomb blast if placed exactly underneath the core. Each head on each side of its body is destroyed if it gets hit by a Bomb. Each hit Manhandla takes it starts to move around the room faster, making it a lot more difficult to place a Bomb. However, it is recommended to use a [[Sword]] for more chances of attack. After Manhandla has been defeated, Link can collect the Heart Container and head into the next room, where he finds the third Triforce Shard.

Once again, the [[Old Man]] makes an appearance inside this dungeon, similarily to the first two dungeons. He can be found in the room that is one room left and four rooms north from the entrance. He says, ''"DID YOU GET THE SWORD FROM THE OLD MAN ON TOP OF THE WATERFALL?"''.{{Ref|LoZ|62|[[Old Man]]}}{{Ref|LoZ|63|Old Man}} This is a reference to the cave on top of the waterfall to the left of the [[Lost Hills]], where the another, or possibly the same, Old Man gives Link the [[White Sword]] if he has accumulated five Heart Container. Oddly, in this quote, he talks as if he is not the only Old Man in [[Hyrule]] and there are two at least. It is very unclear as to if there is only one Old Man or multiple throughout the game.

The [[Compass]] is used to show Link the location of the Triforce Shard on his map via a flashing circle. This indicates its location, and helps Link create a pathway to the end of the dungeon. The Compass is located in the room that's one room left, two rooms up and one room left from the entrance. It is on the floor in the middle of the room, surrounded by [[Keese]] and [[Blade Trap]]s. Link can simply avoid the enemies and grab the Compass.

As with every dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda'', there are multiple [[Small Key]]s and Locked Doors featured throughout the dungeon. The keys are used to unlock the Locked Doors, and thus are required to complete the dungeon. In total, there are five Small Keys available to be collected in this dungeon. Most are found by defeating all the enemies in a specific room, at which time a key appears. Along with these five keys, there are only four Locked Doors. This means that Link has an extra key for use in future dungeons.
