The Dark Cloud is a rather unique stage, taking placing entirely in the sky. Most of the terrain is clouds, with flooring and doors being made out of them. Holes are frequent in the ground. Electric fences can also be found preventing the [[Link]]s from entering areas before solving certain puzzles or defeating enemies. The [[Dark World]] also plays a minor role in this level. Interestingly, there are also two stone tablets with helpful information containing messages from a previous adventurer who claims to have been in search of paradise.{{Ref|FSA|672|Stone Tablet}}{{Ref|FSA|636|Stone Tablet}}

The stage is not terribly enemy-heavy, but it does feature many different varieties of hostile creatures. The most common are different versions of [[Soldier (Enemy)|Soldiers]], including [[Sword Soldier]]s and [[Archer]]s. However, the Archers and Blue Soldiers only appear during the mini-boss battle.

[[Tendoru]]s are the first enemies encountered, but there are only two throughout the entire stage. [[Keese]], as usual, appear in caves. There is only one [[Wizzrobe]] featured in the stage, which will drain the Links' Force Gems, and it shares the same area as the [[Stalfos]]. However, the Stalfos only appear if the wrong combination of switches is hit in the Dark World of the same area. The [[Hardhat Beetle]]s are seen nearby, materializing after the Links hit a box switch. Once they are defeated, they are awarded with a Moon Pearl. [[Real Bombchu]]s, on the other hand, only appear if they are summoned from the Crystal Ball.

Aside from during the [[boss]], there is only one [[Shadow Link]]. He can be found incessantly throwing Big Bombs in one area, forcing the Links to escape to the nearby caves for shelter.
