The '''Desert of Mystery''' is a massive [[Desert (Disambiguation)|Desert]] located in the southwest corner of [[Hyrule]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.


The Desert landscape allows for several types of enemies to find their proper habitat. [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] will encounter [[Geldman]], sand creatures that make their living underneath the sand and will only come up to attack Link. [[Vulture]]s also stand perched on top of Cacti in the desert, waiting for Link to draw near before they attack.
The '''Swamp of Evil''' is the [[Dark World]] reflection of the [[Desert of Mystery]].


==Location==
==Location==
The Desert of Mystery covers the entire southwest portion of Hyrule within the [[Light World]]. It is only accessible from the east through the [[Great Swamp]]. Just to the north of the Desert lies [[Kakariko Village (A Link to the Past)|Kakariko Village]], but there is no direct route connecting the two regions.
The Swamp of Evil is located in the southwestern region of the [[Dark World]]. However, it is inaccessible from the normal overworld map of the [[Dark World]], as the only way to enter is by using the [[flute]] in the [[Light World]] to summon the [[duck]] from the [[weathercock]] in [[Kakariko Village (A Link to the Past)|Kakariko Village]]. Once Link has been flown to the spot, Link can then lift a rock to reveal a [[Warp Tile]] that takes him into the Dark World.

==Features==
There is a cave at the northeast corner of the Desert where [[Aginah]] can be found. He is a descendant of the [[Seven Sages]] and the brother of [[Sahasrahla (A Link to the Past)|Sahasrahla]]. Link can place a bomb along the southern wall to reach a room containing a [[Piece of Heart]].
The Swamp of Evil is a dark, filthy and mucky place with continuous downpour, and is the home to hordes of swamp-dwelling creatures. The entrance to [[Misery Mire (A Link to the Past)|Misery Mire]] can be found here as well. The only way the dungeon can be accessed is by using the [[Ether Medallion]] on the platform with the medallion's sign on it.
 
At the southwest corner of the Desert there is a higher platform that is only accessible if Link plays the [[Flute]] and [[warp]]s to this location. Link can use the [[Titan's Mitt]] to lift the heavy rock to find a [[Magical Warp Tile]]. This serves as an entrance to the [[Swamp of Evil]], the corresponding location of the Desert in the [[Dark World]]. This warp tile is the only way to reach the Swamp of Evil and the dungeon located there, [[Misery Mire (A Link to the Past)|Misery Mire]].
 
Right at the entrance to the Desert of Mystery there is a [[Tablet]] on a higher ledge. Link can only access this Tablet from the Dark World using the [[Magic Mirror]]. Link can use the [[Book of Mudora]] to read the tablet and will then hold up the [[Master Sword]]. Link acquires the [[Bombos Medallion]] and the Tablet will then be destroyed. This is the final of the [[Magic Medallions]] that Link can acquire and is also an optional item.
 
At the far northeast end of the Desert, there is a large rock on a higher cliff. Link can only access this location from the Dark World, using the Magic Mirror. Link can lift up this rock to find a hidden cave that contains a Piece of Heart.
 
===Desert Palace===
{{Main|Desert Palace (A Link to the Past)|Desert Palace}}
The main attraction is the entrance to the [[Desert Palace (A Link to the Past)|Desert Palace]], the location of the [[Pendant of Wisdom]]. Link needs to use the Book of Mudora to read the stone in front of the entrance. This causes Link to sing a tune, shifting the rocks in front of the Palace, and allowing Link to enter.
 
In the middle of the dungeon, Link will head back outside to the Desert of Mystery. It is here where he will have access to the higher cliff at the west end of the Desert where a Piece of Heart can be found.
