'''Level 8''' is the eighth [[dungeon]] found in the [[Second Quest]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. This dungeon hides the final [[Triforce Shard]], which when collected and combined with the rest of the shards creates the full [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] comes here in search of that final shard after he has collected the first seven. Its location is hidden in a wall at the base of Death Mountain that must be [[bomb]]ed to be found. The location of the entrance, from the [[Starting Screen]], is one screen right, six screens up, one screen left, one screen up, and finally two screens right. The [[Boss]] of this dungeon is a pack of three [[Dodongo (The Legend of Zelda)|Dodongos]], which also serve as multiple Mini-Bosses throughout the dungeon. The level is shaped like a larger counter-clockwise spiral, fitting perfectly around the shape of the [[Level 7 (Second Quest)|previous level]].

Also a previous boss returning from previous dungeons, Dodongos appear as mini-bosses and as the boss in this dungeon. Each time that they are encountered, there are fought in a group of three. The final pack of three guard the final Triforce Shard of the game. Their tactics have not changed since previous encounters. The Dodongos walk around the room absentmindedly, almost ignoring Link's presence. Their only attack is to make contact with Link, which causes a full heart of damage. After killing them with a couple of well placed [[Bomb]]s each, the Dodongos are defeated, and the locked doors open allowing access to the room containing the eighth and final Triforce Shard.

The [[Compass]] is used by Link in this dungeon to show him where the final Triforce Shard is via a blinking spot on his map. The room the Compass is found in contains a total of four [[Blade Trap]]s and four [[Keese]] guarding it. Once all of the Keese are defeated, the Compass will appear in the center of the room. This room is found six rooms up from the entrance, immediately following the [[Food#Goriya|Hungry Goriya]].
