Level 3 (Second Quest): Difference between revisions

'''Level 3''' is the third [[dungeon]] in the second quest of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. Link travels here directly after he has acquired the second [[Triforce Shard]] from the second dungeon, [[Level 2 (Second Quest)]]. Level 3 can be reached by travelling, from the [[Starting Screen]], four screens east, two screens north, two screens east, one screen north, one screen west, and finally up the large staircase. Play the [[Recorder]] to cause the lake to dry up and reveal the entrance. The [[Boss]] of this dungeon is three [[Dodongo]]s, and they guard the third Triforce Shard from Link. After defeating Dodongo, Link can collect the Triforce Shard and leave the dungeon.

There is only one obtainable item found in this dungeon, and it is actually an upgrade to a previous item. It is called the [[Magical Boomerang]], and is an upgrade to the [[Boomerang]], which was found in Level 1. There are a few differences between the two, the first and main difference is the Magical Boomerang has almost double the range as the Boomerang, as it travels the full length of the screen when thrown, whereas the Boomerang does not. Also, the Boomerang has a red color to it, while the Magical Boomerang is blue. For this reason it is often referred to as the Blue Boomerang incorrectly. It is found in a room full of [[Goriya]]s in the northernmost room of the dungeon. Link must give [[Food]] to a Hungry Goriya to reach the room. It only appears after Link has defeated all the Goriyas.

The [[Boss]] of Level 3 is a pack of three Dodongos. Dodongos are four-legged creatures that look similar to a [[Wikipedia:Triceratops|Triceratops]]. Dodongo walks around the room absent-mindedly, almost ignoring Link's presence. Its only attack is to make contact with Link, which causes a full heart of damage. After killing each one with a couple of well placed [[Bomb]]s, the Dodongos are defeated, and leave a [[Heart Container]] behind. After collecting the Heart Container, Link can enter the next room to continue on to find the third Triforce Shard.

There is a Hungry Goriya in this dungeon that can be found blocking the path to the northernmost room of the dungeon. This Goriya just sits there and blocks the way, mumbling ''"GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE.."''{{Ref|LoZ|59|Hungry Goriya}} It only moves out of the way if Link feeds it the [[Food]], which can be bought at most [[Item Shop|shops]] across [[Hyrule]]. After the Goriya is fed, he moves out of the way to allow Link to pass.

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. There is only one Small Key available to be collected in this dungeon and it is near the end of the dungeon. Along with this one key, there are three Locked Doors. This means that Link will need to either collect extra keys from a previous dungeon, or buy additional keys from a shop to explore the entire dungeon.
