Zelda A Link to the Past - Lv8 Ganon's Tower - Part 2 of 2

Part 2 of 2 of my Level 8: Ganon's Tower walkthrough for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Played in real time on Snes9x v1.43 rerecording with rerecords used to optimize video length.

Equipment checklist: 20 Hearts, Golden Sword, Silver Arrows, 1/2 Magic

- The Golden Sword and Silver Arrows can be obtained by buying a super bomb at the bomb shop north of the Swamp Palace and using it to blow open the cracked wall in the Pyramid. Inside is a fairy pond where you can upgrade your sword and bow.
- The 1/2 Magic upgrade can be obtained by jumping down the well next to the smithy's shop in Kakariko Village and sprinkling some magic powder on the statue within.

[00:13] Goriyas
The Mirror Shield can block the red Goriyas' fireballs, which makes killing them in narrow spaces much easier.

[01:46] Beamos
The Mirror Shield cannot, however, block Beamos' lasers so be careful around them.

[02:12] Ice and conveyor belts
Go through the center of this room, don't try to run around the outside on the conveyor belts.

[02:35] Miniboss: Lanmolas
The good news is that the Lanmolas only take two slashes from the Golden Sword to kill. The bad news is, there's now a fireball turret in the room, which makes things a lot harder than you might think. Remember that the dirt clods fly out diagonally until there's only one Lanmola left, at which point they fly out in all eight directions.

[04:57] Miniboss: Moldorm
There's no difference to this fight the second time around except that the platform is a different shape. Two spin attacks from the Golden Sword will kill the Moldorm without ever letting it speed up.

[05:38] Boss: Agahnim
Agahnim is back and this time he has two clones with him. You can tell them apart by their faded color so position yourself to hit the fireballs back at the real Agahnim. You won't have to worry about lightning attacks this time but the real Agahnim will still occasionally throw a blue fireball ring. Hit it with your sword as usual to split it and then hope your shield blocks it. Spin attacks can be useful for reflecting fireballs from multiple angles.

I also have another no damage video here:

I was wondering, it is mandatory to have the bird flute to kill the "Ganon", as he takes you out of the dungeon

[Desbreko]

@hyugabyakugam Unless you use glitches, yes, because the flute and bird are required to get to Lv6: Misery Mire. But it will still take you to the pyramid after beating Agahnim even if you avoid collecting the flute since it's just a scripted scene.

[gamemonkey44]

that gap at 1:18... is the only way to reach that gap is to dash bounce?

[Desbreko]

@gamemonkey44 You can also use a bomb to blow yourself across, but there's not much point when the dash bounce works.

[asaelisai]

I am thanked about 1:18, i never imagined that XD i tried everything and i had years without knowing what is across the door, now i know, thnx

[Desbreko]

@typhlosion108 It makes magic items take half as much off your magic meter when you use them.

[bananaquake]

i feel bad for agahnim...

[jeommp]

@asaelisai me too and I'm ashamed b/c I know every other minoot detail of this entire game. That one spot has been annoying the crap out of me.

[nunobelo]

I'm just too lazy for this level.

[Atura525]

[KoRnownsyou]

[IcePalaceIsIcey]
