'''Level 7: The Demon''' is the seventh [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] travels here in search of the seventh [[Triforce Shard|fragment]] of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. It is one of the most complicated dungeons of the game, and features a mix of three repeating [[boss]]es that must be fought by Link in order to complete the dungeon. This dungeon is nicknamed ''The Demon'' based on the layout of the dungeon being a demonic looking face. This dungeon is one of the most difficult to find in the game, as its appearance is not that of a usual dungeon. In order to find the entrance, Link must go to the lone [[Fairy Fountain]] in the game that does not house a [[Fairy]] and play his [[Recorder]]. This, and only this, opens the entrance to The Demon. This screen can be found by traveling up one screen, left three screens, up one screen, left two screens, and finally up one screen from the [[Starting Screen]]. This is also the first dungeon that Link cannot complete without using [[Bomb]]s to break open specific walls.

The Demon presents the largest mix of enemies any dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda''. All the enemies found are listed below.

The [[Mini-Boss]] of The Demon is known as [[Digdogger (The Legend of Zelda)|Digdogger]], and is a repeating boss from a previous dungeon, [[Level 6: The Dragon]]. Link fights Digdogger not once, not twice, but thrice in this dungeon. Each battle is almost exactly the same as the last. Most of the time Digdogger is simply guarding a door that leads into the next room. The first Digdogger splits into one mini-Digdogger after Link has played the Recorder, while the second and third ones split into three mini-Digdoggers, adding slightly more difficulty to the battles.

The boss of The Demon is known as [[Aquamentus (The Legend of Zelda)|Aquamentus]], and similarly to the Mini-Boss Digdogger, Aquamentus is a repeating Boss that appeared previously in the first dungeon of the game, [[Level 1: The Eagle]]. The battle is exactly the same, and if Link has acquired the [[Magical Sword]], this battle is very simple. This is because it takes only two hits with the Magical Sword to defeat Aquamentus. After Link has defeated Aquamentus, he gains access to the final room of the dungeon, where the seventh and penultimate Triforce fragment lies.

There are two [[Old Man]] locations found in this dungeon. They are both found relatively close to the beginning of the dungeon, and thus are encountered almost immediately after Link starts searching through the dungeon. The first location is found on the east side of the dungeon, only one room up, two rooms right, and lastly one room up from the entrance. This time the Old Man gives a hint on this dungeon. He says, ''"THERE'S A SECRET IN THE TIP OF THE NOSE"''.{{Ref|LoZ|73|[[Old Man]]}} This is a reference to the room that is located at the very tip of the nose in this dungeon. The trick to this room is that Link must defeat all the [[Wallmaster]]s found here and ''then'' push the center block to the right revealing the staircase that leads towards the boss. The second location is slightly further along, and is quite easily the more useful one. Here, the Old Man offers Link a [[Bomb]] capacity upgrade from a maximum of 12 to a maximum to 16. He says, ''"I BET YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE MORE BOMBS."''{{Ref|LoZ|67|Old Man}} Also, there is a [[Rupee]] symbol underneath the Old Man and "-100" underneath the Rupee symbol. By touching the symbol, Link loses one hundred Rupees and gets the upgrade, as well as receiving as many bombs as he can hold.

Unique to this dungeon, there is a Hungry Goriya that can be found blocking the path in the middle section 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 some [[Item Shop|shops]] across [[Hyrule]]. After the Goriya is fed, he disappears and allows Link to pass.

The [[Compass]] is found in this dungeon and is used to show Link the location of the Triforce fragment that is hidden in the dungeon on his map via a blinking spot. This spot easily leads Link right to his goal. The Compass is found in a room that contains multiple [[Stalfos]]; eight to be exact. One of them holds the Compass, and this one must be killed in order for Link to collect it. This room is found one room up, one room right, and lastly one room up from the entrance.

There are a bunch of [[Small Key]]s and Locked Doors scattered throughout the dungeon. To be exact, there are four Small Keys and five Locked Doors. However, by bombing his way through a secret room in the top-left corner of the map, Link can bypass one of the five Locked Doors. He can also ignore a Locked Door that only leads to a room with two [[Moldorm]]s, and another that leads to the Old Man offering him the ability to carry more bombs, if he chooses to.
