Eagle's Tower

Eagle's Tower is the seventh dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. It is located towards of the eastern end of the Tal Tal mountain range. The dungeon offers the Mirror Shield and, after defeating Evil Eagle, the Organ of Evening Calm.

Location
The dungeon is a tall, thin tower located in the north-east corner of Koholint Island. In order to reach it, Link must navigate his way through much of the Tal Tal mountain range, from west to east. To gain entry, Link must first retrieve the Bird Key from a nearby cave, and insert it into a rock at the foot of the tower. This causes Eagle's Tower to rotate and reveal its entrance.

Story
Catfish's Maw was the seventh of the eight dungeons Link explored in order to collect the eight Instruments of the Sirens hidden across Koholint Island. All eight were needed in order to wake the Wind Fish from his slumber on top of Mount Tamaranch and allow Link to return home to Hyrule. Link was only able to enter this labyrinth after learning the Frog's Song of Soul from Mamu, using it to awaken the Flying Rooster, and using the rooster to reach the Bird Key in Tal Tal Mountains.

Inside the tower Link met the Grim Creeper, who ordered his Keese minions to attack him. The young hero defeated them, took the Mirror Shield, and proceeded to destroy the four pillars holding up the third floor of the dungeon using a large metal ball, causing this level to drop down and become accessible. He was then able to climb to the very top of the tower and catch up with the Creeper, who this time commanded Evil Eagle. After beating the pair, Link was able to claim the seventh instrument, the Organ of Evening Calm.

Use of the Mirror Shield enabled Link to access the eighth dungeon on his quest, Turtle Rock.
