'''Level 4: The Snake''' is the fourth [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] travels here in search of the fourth [[Triforce Shard|Triforce fragment]] after having collecting the first three from each of the first three dungeons in the game, namely [[Level 1: The Eagle|The Eagle]], [[Level 2: The Moon|The Moon]], and [[Level 3: The Manji|The Manji]]. In order to get to this dungeon, Link must head, from the [[Starting Screen]], one screen north, two screens west, one screen north, and finally use the [[Raft]] on the edge of the water area, which takes Link 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 (The Legend of Zelda)|Manhandla]], a [[Boss]] from a previous dungeon. Also, the Boss of this dungeon is called [[Gleeok (The Legend of Zelda)|Gleeok]], and it is the guardian of the fourth Triforce fragment, meaning Link has the task of defeating it. Once Gleeok is defeated, Link can collect the fourth Triforce fragment. In addition, this is the first dungeon to have totally dark rooms, which Link must use a [[Candle]] to light up.

There are only two new enemies introduced in this dungeon; [[Vire]]s and Like Likes.

The boss of The Snake is a vicious two-headed dragon called Gleeok. It guards the door that leads to the Triforce fragment, and uses its two heads to attack any whom approach it. Link must use his sword to stab the heads in order to separate each head from the main body, which kills Gleeok. It takes ten hits with the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|original Sword]] to dispatch the first head and six hits to destroy the next one. Defeating Gleeok results in a [[Heart Container]] appearing, as well as the entrance to where the Triforce fragment lies.

The [[Compass]] has one function in this game; to show Link the location of the hidden Triforce fragment on his map via a blinking dot. This helps give Link a sense of direction as he tries to find a way to the end of the dungeon. It can be found in the room that is one room up and one room right from the entrance to the dungeon. Inside this room, Link finds it to be completely dark. He can use his [[Candle]] to see, which reveals five [[Vire]]s and the Compass lying on the floor in the middle of the room.

The [[Dungeon Map]] is used to show the layout of the dungeon, which in this dungeon reveals a snake-like shape, hence the name of the dungeon. It can be found in the room that is up two rooms, one room left, three rooms up, and one room right from the entrance to the dungeon. This room contains five [[Gel]]s and the map on the floor in the bottom right of the room.
