Level 3 (Ancient Stone Tablets)

is the third dungeon in.

Entrance to the Dungeon
Level 3 is located in an underground cave east of Kakariko Village. The entrance is blocked by a pile of rocks, which must be destroyed by bashing it with the Pegasus Shoes.

Themes and Navigation
The dungeon features various puzzles involving Crystal Switches, which must be hit in order to progress through other rooms. Moles also block the access to certain areas of the dungeon, therefore, they must be pressed by using the Magic Hammer, one of the dungeon's main items. Many walls can be blown with Bombs, revealing hidden rooms filled with Treasure Chests containing Rupees. A Thief can also be found selling a Bomb upgrade for 100 Rupees. The Magic Hammer must also be used to defeat the Helmasaur King, the dungeon's boss. Once defeated, it drops a Heart Container, followed by a Stone Tablet.
