'''Level 8: The Lion''' is the eighth and penultimate [[Dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. This dungeon hides the final [[Triforce Shard|Triforce fragment]], which when collected and combined with the rest of the fragments creates the full [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] comes here in search of that final piece after he has collected the first seven. Compared to dungeons before and after it, this dungeon is much easier. Its location is under a bush in eastern [[Hyrule]], and that bush must be burned by the [[Candle|Red]] or [[Candle|Blue Candle]]. This bush's location is, from the [[Starting Screen]], four screens right, two screens up, one screen right, one screen down, and finally one screen right. The [[Boss]] of this dungeon is known as [[Gleeok (The Legend of Zelda)|Gleeok]], a previous boss fought in [[Level 4: The Snake]] and [[Level 6: The Dragon]].

Also a previous boss returning from a previous dungeon, Gleeok is a multi-headed dragon that guards the final Triforce fragment. This time, Gleeok has four heads in total, while the last two times it had two and three, respectively. Gleeok puts up a very good fight, as even after Link destroys one head the head starts to float around the room and shoot firebeams at Link, making it much harder. Link must destroy each of the four heads in order to defeat Gleeok. Once he has, he can travel to the next room where the eighth and final Triforce fragment awaits him.

The [[Compass]] is used by Link in this dungeon to show him where the final Triforce fragment is via a blinking spot on his map. The room the Compass is found in contains a total of eight [[Pols Voice]]s guarding it. This room is found only two rooms up and one room right from the entrance.
