Legend of Zelda NES Dungeon 9 Walkthrough

This is a walkthrough to get to Dungeon 9 Death Mountain and how to get through it.

To reach Dungeon 9 in The Legend of Zelda for the NES, follow these steps:

1. Acquire the necessary items: Before heading to Dungeon 9, make sure you have obtained the following essential items: the wooden sword, the boomerang, the ladder, the raft, the power bracelet, the recorder, the bow, the silver arrows, and the magical rod. These items will help you navigate through the game and overcome various obstacles.
2. Acquire the whistle: To access Dungeon 9, also known as Death Mountain, you need the whistle. The whistle is obtained by rescuing the old man from the fifth dungeon, known as “The Lizard.” Once you defeat the dungeon’s boss, collect the Triforce piece and the old man will give you the whistle as a reward.
3. Find the entrance to Death Mountain: Death Mountain, the location of Dungeon 9, can be found on the overworld map. It is located in the northeast section of the map, towards the top-right corner. Look for a mountainous region with a cave entrance.
4. Use the whistle to reveal the hidden entrance: Stand near the cave entrance on Death Mountain and use the whistle. This will reveal the hidden entrance to Dungeon 9. The entrance will appear as a set of stairs leading underground.
5. Enter Dungeon 9: Once you’ve uncovered the entrance, simply walk over the revealed stairs and descend into Dungeon 9.

Inside Dungeon 9, follow the walkthrough provided earlier to navigate through the dungeon and defeat the enemies, collect items, and ultimately face Ganon to rescue Princess Zelda.
