---------Introduction---------------------------
The Legend Of Zelda A Link to The Past, is an excellent game, it
is a great example of a game with, action, adventure, puzzles, great design
many possible outcomes, and was amazingly thought out and
recreated to match the 1991 NES version of it. I thouroughly enjoyed this game, it
has everything that a good adventure game
should have, action,
wepons, enemies, bosses and
of course, a princess needing saving (what
adventure game would be complete without that??)
Anyway this is my 1st
FAQ so bear with me, i hope you

something not right in my guide. Keep in mind that

----------------------Your Quest----------------------------------------
There is a legendary place called the
Golden Land it was sought by
many Hylians Aeons ago. It was said
that the triforce was contained in it.
The triforce was said to make any mortals dreams
come true. So many of the Hylians left their peacfull valley
in search of it,contained by
greed. They were so bound by greed that many Hylians
left in search of it, being unsuccesfull.
About this time the seven sages, realizing what
this was causing decided to seal off the gateway to the golden land so that noone could
enter it. Not Long after that the way was accidentally
reopened by a gang of theives.
The leader of the theives: Ganon, The knights of
Hyrule combined forces as the resistence to
destroy this terrible group. Unfortunatly many
lives were lost in this battle. This was ages ago
and since then remembrance of the
terrible war has been left behind. One night A
girls voice awakens you ...."help me...my name
is zelda.....
i am in the castles dungeon.... you decide
to leave in the middle of the night to investigate,
you step into the rain and forbidding darkness
and the legend of zelda begins.

-----------------------------------characters-------------------------------------------
Link: You play as link, our
hero in this game. Seeking for adventure, and always ready to help.
Links Uncle: At the begginning of the game:
link is currently living with his uncle, he is
strange because you never really find much out
about him.
Saharshala: The village Elder, if your
in trouble or just need some extra guidance,
visit Saharshala and he'll get you on the right track.
He Knows All.
Man on the mountain: On the mountain you will
meet a man who will ask you to take him somewhere,
take him there and he will give you a gift:
a mirror: now, if you dont do this
and get that mirror
you might as well be
laying dead on the top of the mountain because without that
mirror you cannot go from the darkworld backto
the lightworld, hence you will not be able to win this game.
Angahim: Ganons evil stuge, at first when you
find out that you will have to beat Angahim
you may probably be a little shook up, dont worry
he is a simple boss who really isnt all as great as he sounds.
Ganon: The bad guy of the game. When you think
Ganon you think impossible, however
you only come across him once in the game. By then you
will have developed all the
skills, have all the items,
and destroyed all of Ganons
evil works, so that he is not as hard as you generally
would have percieved.-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------Boss Walkthoughs------------------------------------------------------------
LIGHT WORLD
Boss 1
Name: Ball and chain trooper
Difficulty: 1/10
Area: Hyrule castle dungeon
how to defeat: When he is patrolling the dungeon wait until he swings his mace at you and it goes back to him, then slash him with your sword
run back to a safe distance and repeat this process until he is defeated.
Boss 2
Name: Armos Knights
Difficulty: 2/10
Area: Dungeon 1
how to defeat: You will enter a room and 6 armos knights will be lined up, they will start to move in patterns (circles, straight lines, star
etc.) Have your bow and arrows equiped and wait 'till they finish their formations and line up and march toward you, aim at one with your bow
and simply hit it 3 times to defeat it. Wait until they finish their formations and do this again, repeat this process untill you have
defeated all but 1, he will turn red and change his attack style- jumping all over the place, the best weapons here are your bow and arrow,
and your boomerang, you are probably running low on arrows so try your best not to miss. The boomerang is your best bet here, but the sword
will also help. Hit him a few times and you will defeat him.
Boss 3
Name: Lanmolas
Difficulty: 3/10
Area: dungeon 2
how to defeat: The lanmolas are three giant caterpillars that will bury in the sand and then bounce out at you. To destroy them you need to
hit their head with your sword, yes i know it is frustrating, and takes time, but just have patients. Try your best to get at least two hits
on the head each time it pops out. When you see a brown dot in the sand, one of them will be popping out their. You have to hit each of the
three heads 8-10 times before it is defeated but just beware: if one hits you, you will loose life. Other than that it is a pretty simple
boss.
Boss 4
Name: Moldorm
Difficulty: 4/10
Area: dungeon 3: on death mountain
how to defeat: Moldorm is simple enough, however the hardest part about him is that you are standing on a ledge, if you bump into moldorm
not only will you loose life, but you will also get bounced off him, making it very easy for you to fall off an edge, witch can be very
frustrating because you will have to start over again. My strategy for this boss is to keep your distance from him, stay on the widest part
of the floor. The only part of moldorm that is vulnerable is his tail, the part with the cross on it. Try your best to hit it, and run back
being careful not to fall off the ledge. Each hit will make him more angry and aggressive, he will move faster and it is at this point that
you will need al your strength to keep from falling off the ledge. About 8 hits should defeat him.
Boss 5
Name: Angahim
Difficulty: 3/10
Area: top of Hyrule Castle
Suprisingly Angahim is not as hard as you may first percieve him to be, you cannot defeat him with your own strength ie. sword, arrows,
boomerang etc. Therefore sending his magic back to him is the only way to defeat him. He has three different types of attacks they are:
1) lightning, he will go to the top middle of the room, move to either the left or right side and fast to escape this, their is no way to
block lightning attack.
2) small blue balls, just do your best to avoid these.
3) a small glowing ball, AHA the key to Angahims undoing, simply get your timing right and swing your sword to hit the ball at the same time
as it reaches you to deflect it back at him
A few hits of his own magic will defeat Angahim.
DARK WORLD
Boss 1
Name: Helmasur
Difficulty 3/10
Area: dark dungeon 1
How to defeat: There are two stages to this boss, you will see him with a dark blue mask on his chest, this is his protection, your job is
to take it off. Use either bombs, or hammer whilst avoiding his tail attack. Once his breastplate is gone simply hit his glowing green circle
with your bow and arrow, a sword will work here to but i find its best to keep your distance from him.
Boss 2
Name: Arrghus
Difficulty: 5/10
Area: dark dungeon 2
how to defeat: Another two part boss. At the beggining he will be surronded by Arrgi. Use your hookshot to pull one to you and then slash it a
a few times. Then simply continue this process untill all the arrgi are defeated Arrghus will get mad and throw a huge hisse fit. He will
move all around, whine and complain and make a great noise , put him out of his misery and hit him a few times with your sword whilst
avoiding him while he tries to jump on you.
Boss 3
Name: mothula
Difficulty: 6/10
Area: dark dungeon 3
how to defeat: Your best weapon to use is the fire rod, keep your distnce and shoot fire at her, if you run out of magic you will have to
use your sword which is much harder so stock up on green potions. It will shoot rays at you which you just need to dodge, try your best to
work yourself on the moving tiles and not get pulled into a spike block as it will drain your health quite a bit.
Boss 4
Name: Blind
Difficulty: 5/10
Area: dark dungeon 4> kakiro village
how to defeat: the hardest part about this boss is not deafeating the boss itself, it is getting the boss into the room, so i will use up
some more of my time to explain how that works: Once you find the girl: bring her to the empty room and then go back upstairs and go to
above the room the girls in, drop a bobm, pick it up and throw it over the wall onto the bombable floor in order to make light go into the
room (the blind theif hates light) anywaz, go back down to the room and fight blind. Blind will mova all around, like the Lanmolas, the only
vulnerable spot is the head, hit it with your sword three times and it will come off and fly around the room, blind will grow a new head,
do your best to avoid the flying head (only ever concentrate on the one on her head) hit it with your sword three more times and it will
come as well, The two flying heads will shoot red balls at you, so avoid them whilst attacking the third head that blind has grown after three
more strikes she will be defeated.
Boss 5
Name: Kholdstare
Difficulty: 6/10
Area: dark dungeon 5- ice palace
how to defeat: ANOTHER two step-boss, wow theres alot of these: Kholdstare will be an ice block so use your fire rod eight times to release
him from ice, now use your sword, or fire rod to, hit each eye six times , bringing some green potion would probably be a good idea.
Boss 6
Name: Vitreous
Difficulty: 7/10
Area: Misery Mire dungeon
how to defeat: again we have another two step boss: vitreous will be surrounded by eyeballs the eyes will come out 4 at a time and try to
attack you. When vitreous eye turns yellow he is shooting a laser at you so try your best to dodge it. hitt the small eyes with your sword,
Once all your eyes are gone hit vitreous in the eye a few times to defeat him.
Boss 7
Name: trinexx
Difficulty: 9/10
Area: dark dungeon 7
How to defeat: this is my favorite boss, if you dont think about how difficult he is you can have lots of fun with thrinexx, there are three
steps to beating him, you need to use the opposites (if you know yours) to kill him, he has fire head and an ice head at the start so hit his
ice head 8 times with your firerod, and hit his fire head with your ice rod 8 times....it might be a good idea to enter this boss with full
hearts and 4 blue potions...*i wonder why???? Anyway after defeating his first to heads. the rock body will come to life it will fly around
the room so basically just strike its glowing boulder with your sword three times to defeat Trinexx.
--------------
Special Bosses
--------------
Angahim
dificulty: 6/10
To defeat again: use the same method as the first time only there are three angahims.....wait....take a closer look....WHATT??? only one
agahim you say? so hit the really angahim and avoid the phonies, beat him to move onto GANON
Ganon
difficulty: 10/10
To defeat Ganon and win the game: GAnon will throw his sword and fire bat ats you dodge them and strike him with the golden sword, he will
get mad, jump around and cause 1 side of the floor to fall, continue thiss untill all four sides of the floor are gone, now... be careful and
dont fall down this or you will have to start all over again. No it will turn to night, use your fire rod to light the torches on your left
and right quickly, then switch to using your sword, hit him and he will turn blu now use your silver arows to hit him. *only silver arrows
will work* it will go balck again and repeat the process again untill ganon has been hit by three silver arrows to defeat him

----------------------------------------------------FAQs-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. I get to the top of the mountain, step on a warp zone and turn into a bunny? how come I cant stay as Link, how do i get back to normal
and how come I cant get to the palace on the mountain?
answer: Ok preety good questions: infact when i first played the game, my questions were pretty similar, it may sound impossible but you
are actually extremly close to the palace when you are at the warp zone. so here what you do: step on the warp zone and change into a bunny
(to answer your question: you are in the form of a bunny b/c you are in the dark world and have not obtained the moon pearl yet) Now go to
the top left a ways and you will notice to lighter brown patches of dirt stand on one of them and use your mirror (this is how you get back
to the light world) it will put you ontop of the ledge that you could earlier not reach, now get the heart peice jump off the ledge and you
will notice the palace.
2. Ok, so how do i get it and where is the moon pearl than?
answer: in the palace, ontop of the mountain. When you have the big key go past the chest (the moon peark is in her but you cannot access it
from here) and head up to the 6th floor, step on a star pattern and go to the middle of the room, drop down the middle hole on the top-left
side of the hole and you will land on the platform with the big chest, now that you have the moon pearl you can go about the dark world as
you like and stay in your true form.
3. Ok, now where is the master sword?
answer: you should already know this if you read the above guide. DUH
4. Fine than, how do i get the zoras flippers?
answer: its in the FAQ aswell but i could probably expand on the answer: near the water fall of wishing in the light world enter a secret
passage and walk in the blue water until you stuble apon another water fall, a giant zora will ask you for 500 ruppes give it to him in
exchange for the flippers, you can now swim in daRK blue water, press b to sumberge for a few seconds a collect ruppes under water.
5. I cant seem to get the magic cape
answer: No wonder you need to follow these instructions: ok. so first go to the graveyard in the dark world and go to the most top right hand
grave: use your mirror to transport back to the dark world and than use pegasus shes to run into a grave which will open a secret passage.
Go down it to get to the chest with the cape in it.
6. I have a million other questions, can you please answer them?
answer: tobad, i am busy and dont want to spen all my time working in this FAQ send me an email if you want some help.
