Players control [[Link]] and fight through labyrinth chambers on the Game & Watch's lower screen. In the labyrinth chambers, Link faces a [[Goblin]] and [[Ghini|Ghost]] and/or 1-4 [[Stalfos]]. The Stalfos attack Link by thrusting upward at him from below with their swords. Link must move left and right to avoid their attack. Ghosts attack Link from behind with projectiles, requiring Link to occasionally protect himself by holding his shield behind him. Stalfos and Ghosts cannot be defeated and must be dodged and blocked with the shield respectively.

The Goblins attack by stabbing and throwing spears at Link, who must defend himself by using his shield. He must defeat them to proceed to the next room. If Link has the sword beam, available at full health, he can attack them from the far left corner of the chamber. When Link defeats the Goblin, stairs leading to the next chamber will appear. If two stairs appear at the left and right, Link must choose one of the stairs.
