Ganon's Tower

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past guide · Final Dark World dungeon
← All areas in this guide

Ganon's Tower is the massive final dungeon in the Dark World, accessible only after rescuing all seven maidens from the Dark World crystals. Inside, you must navigate multiple branching floors, defeat rematches with previous Light World bosses, and face Agahnim a second time. Defeating Agahnim here reveals Ganon and unlocks the path to the final showdown at the Pyramid of Power.

Enemies

Armos Knights
Weak to Silver Arrows or Bow

A rematch of the Eastern Palace boss encounter, fought on a floor of ice.

Lanmolas
Weak to Bow, Ice Rod, or Master Sword

A rematch of the Desert Palace boss encounter with fire projectiles added to the room.

Moldorm
Weak to Master Sword (tail)

A rematch of the Tower of Hera boss, fought on a narrow platform surrounded by pits that drop you to the floor below.

Agahnim
Weak to Magic attacks reflected by the Master Sword or Bug Catching Net

Agahnim's second encounter; he splits into illusions, but the real one is darker and reflects solid energy blasts.

Tips

  • Bring the Magic Powder to transform several annoying dungeon enemies into peaceful Slimes (Bubbles).
  • Keep the Hookshot and Pegasus Boots ready, as several rooms require Hookshotting across wide gaps and dashing across conveyor floors.
  • When fighting Moldorm, use the Pegasus Boots dash sparingly and stay near the center to avoid sliding off the edges when struck.
  • Store multiple Fairies or Blue Potions in your bottles, as the gauntlet of boss rematches and high enemy damage can rapidly deplete your hearts.
