Level 4: The Snake

Level 4: The Snake is the fourth Dungeon Link will venture in in The Legend of Zelda. He comes here searching for the fourth Triforce Shard after having collecting the first three from each of the first three dungeons in the game, namely The Eagle, The Moon, and The Manji. To get to this dungeon, Link must head, from the Starting Screen, one screen north, two screens west, one screen up, and finally use the Raft on the edge of the water area, which will take him to a small island, where the entrance to The Snake lies. For the first time in The Legend of Zelda, there is a Mini-Boss battle in this dungeon. The Mini-Boss is known as Manhandla, a Boss from a previous dungeon. Also, the Boss of this dungeon is called Gleeok, and he is the guardian of the fourth Triforce Shard, meaning Link has the task of defeating him.

Item

The main obtainable item in this dungeon is called the Stepladder it is used to cross small gaps in the floor that were previously uncrossable. This item will be necessary to complete the game, as many later dungeons contain gaps only crossable via the Stepladder. There is also a Heart Container that is only obtainable using the Stepladder. It can be found in the far east of Hyrule. The Stepladder is found in the only side-scrolling section of the dungeon. The entrance to this area is found, from the entrance to the dungeon, two rooms up, one room left, two rooms up, and two rooms right. This room has three different enemies, two of each. These three enemies include Like Likes, Zols, and Bubbles. Killing all the enemies and pushing the left block to the left will reveal the staircase.
