LoZ: Level 9 (Death Mountain) Fastest Path Guide

[@charlesvannice8279]

I feel like I'm listening to pre flight instructions.

[@krisfrederick5001]

I stopped the video at 6:37 to literally write that verbatim. I was feeling oddly comforted I'm like wait a minute where have I heard this tone before.

[@danielstellwag3081]

Pre-operations recon mission

[@pauredon9191]

At least this is for something that Will actually happen

[@claudiaguerrero7595]

Your video was a great help! My brother and I had this game as kids and had the hardest time finding and navigating the dungeons. We never passed it until now, my mid-thirties, I was able to pass it! The little girl in me is so happy and appreciative to you!!

[@joshuaweightman7694]

best version I have ever seen with simplicity and clarity.

[@Sk8erPhatCat13]

8:12 With the Blue and Red Rings changing colours of items, they also change Zelda’s dress, no rings makes her Green, Blue Ring makes her Blue, Red Ring makes her Red

[@glaciiz]

This was due to colour limitations on the NES

[@CarnivoreConservative]

Btw it's actually link

[@juliocesarcamilo5132]

​@@jjslime1007he knows, he was talking about actual zelda like the one you rescue at the end of the game

(And be sure to wipe your feet on ganon's ashes.) I am still laughing! Oh my god!

[@richard9536318]

i love your commentary, I got lost in the top left handed corner i keep going in circles i forgot which way to go as I just started playing this game again after 30yrs wow feel like a kid again

[@greglemieux9809]

THAT is an Awsome feeling. I'm with you my friend

[@Buffster0896]

Thanks for knocking 35 years off my life and taking me back to the good ol’ days! I get so dang lost in this level but you made it way too easy! Thanks for the video and have a blessed one!! 🙏

[@hektorlinko]

Same here brother. I'm 49 and still need help with this last stage lol. His commentary is awesome as well. Fun video. I play this game once a year and always brings back memories as a kid. You all take care and enjoy, A+++

[@jamief.8406]

This was a great help Been playing this game for decades Lol Brings back memories

[@jamief.8406]

​@@hektorlinko Your profile pic is adorable

[@johnhudson3095]

in late 80's early 90's growing up I knew alot of people that had this game and finished it. It always seemed too long of a game for me, and i was more of a super mario bros fan. fast forward to now in 2023. I bought the NES classic edition a few years ago and i was really exicted to see zelda as a included game. I sat down with another walkthrough and got all the way to dungeon 9, and kept getting lost. great video! I actually beat gannon on the first attempt! very well done video. thank you!!!

[@alexanichols1789]

THANK YOU! This stopped me from chunking my NES across the room. 😄

[@mattcadenas8628]

Really appreciate it. I’ve been a huge fan of Legend of Zelda ever since this one came out and I’ve played almost all of the games minus Skyward Sword. But this dungeon has always and will always confuse the ever loving hell out of me. Your walkthrough was helpful and straight to the point. Thank you

[@jwgeist]

I love how clean this walkthrough is. Excellent.

[@randomgamer-st1ie]

Thanks for this video. I just beat the game for the first time ever, 33 years later!

[@Denverpaige]

Im 13 and have never touched a video game in my life and my dad made me beat Zelda for a 100$ I literally could not have done it without this run through

[@brossy4411]

“Be sure to wipe your feet on Ganon’s ashes” That made me laugh so much! Thank you for the guide!

[@whildhair83]

After 30 years I FINALLY beat Ganon! Couldn't have done it without ya. My Link took a whizz on Ganons ashes BTW...😉 thanks!

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

This video was helpful. I have my ups and downs with the Zelda games.

[@littleblock2639]

Thanks man. Those guys who make tutorials for a very narrow auditory are true heroes.

[@joeortegausmc]

Thanks bro, haven’t played in a while since the 90’s. I finally beat it again.

[@Zilla1954]

Thanks a ton! This video helped me immensely with navigating the complicated dungeon! I first started playing Zelda games with Breath of the Wild and was really curious to see the series' roots. I can see where they got a lot of the ideas for Breath of the Wild in this game. Even being 8-bit, the world feels so expansive and explorable. You helped me complete this game, and I really don't think I would've beaten this dungeon without this guide. Thank you!

[@joefishtale]

First time playing Zelda was on the NES at my friend’s house on Christmas Morning 1986. Fast forward to today, I embedded a super console X into an Atari 2600 chassis. Playing games w wireless SNES controllers. Christmas 2023 and I finally beat Zelda using your guide for Gannons Lair. Almost certain I would have lost my mind without the help of your video. Good times.

[@Head173]

Great guide bro. I’m reliving some childhood memories here on my switch. Been about 20 years since I last beat this.

[@MissionaryOnWheels]

Its like a safari with a tour guide. I love it.

[@tennessee5405]

You just helped me beat Zelda for the first time ever. Thank you. However your Gannon fight went really quick. Mine took a long time. He would not appear very often.

[@takf.gaming7751]

Thanks for the help! Finally went back and beat this masterpiece. Only took me 30 years 😂 lol.

[@williamtracz1115]

I feel like I am riding through a safari! Great guide and thanks

[@m.a.n1233]

How fantastic was that walkthrough 10/10 Thank you sir !

[@bodegaboylex]

No Ten Ten was the designer

[@Redmage1987]

So do I. It's probably my favorite piece of music in Zelda 1, not like there are a whole lot of them to pick from though, lol. Same here, then I got mad at the old man for not moving because I didn't have all the triforce pieces yet, haha.

[@greglemieux9809]

Wow , HOLY , I could loop this and listen to it all night long as I fall asleep. Great voice my friend.

[@sarahsault6494]

Thank you. 34 years of erratic playing and I finally beat the very first video game both my father and I played-and he wom fairly easily.

[@pauredon9191]

I could beat this Game in around 5 hours, It was much harder than i expected... And this video helped me a lot

[@woodsgunsmithingllc6606]

Just beat this on the switch and wiped my feet on Gannon's ashes. 😎👍🏻 Thanks for that walk through, I was so lost.

[@arlenevillalobos404]

Great!!! Thank you!!! I really enjoyed the way you explain everything.

[@ThrewRedButter]

Very good series on NES Zelda. Simple, no fat on these walkthroughs. Good stuff.

[@supergobbler6830]

So easy when you do it lol. This couldn’t of been made any better. Even the names and number of the enemies. Good job and thank you!

[@kennyperezr8732]

I think i wan´t to cry, i so happy i finally saw it!

[@teammacnamara5320]

This video was superb. Clear, concise and to the point. Thanks so much for this

[@JR-yz7de]

You know for such a classic and detailed game, the ending leaves a lot to be desired. Wish there was more of a finale!

[@elihooper2157]

Awesome! :D Still my favorite game ever from NES!

[@darkjackl999]

of course the death mountain dungeon looks like a space invader

[@binjor2087]

>space invader it's it's a skull

[@GodinGamer]

ty so much amazing content, i was wondering like an hour in that maze... ty so much so professional all of it, the way you talk and you play even the jokes, sublime....

[@hektorlinko]

Thanks Bro!! Because of your video I finally shit the turd. lol I'm 47 years old and had this as a kid and could never beat it. I've been collecting toys and retro games for many years and finally had some time to play some games. Long story short I told myself I was going to finish Zelda and of course I needed a little help here and there from the tube and thanks to your video and I just watched it...cheated a little on where to go etc. and finally beat it. Ganon was a bit challenging but I finally did it. Felt fucking great to finally beat this damn game lol. So I feel like I owe you a beer and some wings or something lol. Thanks for your great video brother!!! A+++++ Thumbs Up and all that shit. Hell to the yes! : )

[@randallharter]

Wow I just beat this game in about 30 minutes in front of my 5 year old! Took me months as a kid when it first came out. Thank you

[@Redmage1987]

Lol, yes I plan out the playthrough ahead of time just to make absolutely sure that I have the right path for the guide. I also double check the lists and whatnot to make sure everything is ok. I already knew the fastest paths for the Quest 1 dungeons in this game and for the dungeons in A Link to the Past, the other dungeons in the series will take a little more planning though, haha.

[@nathenhamlin3456]

Dude, you are a wizard at this game!

[@LorenHelgeson]

Thank you very much for the direct path to Ganon.

[@playmooregames371]

Awesome walkthrough! I just completed the game.

[@Sldejo]

This is the best directions ever. Thank you!

[@haydenradcliffe]

Thank you, I beat the game because of you

[@luvzfrance24]

Lol I love the walk over Ganon’s ashes

[@zombies4evadude24]

Drinking Game: Take a shot every time OP says “go through the door at the top”

[@youtubeeee6682]

I got to Zelda with half a heart, all thanks to you

[@patrick.53]

LOL

[@CuhShark]

This feels like I'm on a Universal Studios tram ride

[@panelvixen]

Gannon: "You, Wizrobe, take this arrow and throw it in a lake or some lava." Wizrobe: "Sure, boss." (Yeah right. It's time for lunch, I'll just stick this in a basement room for the bats to perch on.)

[@antonymcnaughton3102]

Great walkthrough. I always thought the ‘Go to the next room’ was a double meaning because the red ring room is also adjacent to this room (albeit via a much more circuitous route as demonstrated)

[@Slickman2006]

You know this level is ridiculously hard when it takes a 9 minute video to demonstrate the fastest path through the level.

[@nicholasterzick7140]

Your directions are the best thank you

[@ghostHackd]

Your commentary is very helpful! Thanks bud :)

[@Eersfanpilot805]

Thank you! I was able to finally beat the game using your walkthrough!

[@BosseBrakskit]

Fantastic voiceover!

[@Redmage1987]

Lol, of course. I'm looking forward to doing the second quest. Indeed, I always have to do that, I can't help it, haha.

[@JSP768]

It’s the most biggest dungeon of Zelda

[@ericw1759]

Thank you for the guide. Just finished.

[@secretagent4610]

After all these years, i knew there was a white tunic in this, but i never knew there was a red one.

[@dailycoffee8533]

They were perfect instructions how to defeat Ganon thanks a lot my friend

[@MR-ob6nj]

Finished it thanks to you.

[@supercablebruh]

This guide, need to be in the manual

[@BENJIR2D2]

Rygar is an awesome game as well. Very difficult to beat.

[@marlynharo7360]

"Dispose all her children" made me laugh. Lol

[@catface7133]

This is very helpful, thanks!

[@chrissibersky4617]

Amazing skills to be able to play like that while at the same time pinching the nose and talk. Good video.

[@woksrandomchannel]

Best game of any console. Hands down.

[@ericknapp7516]

Thanks man i finally beat this way around! Been at it since i was a kid but something always happened to my saved game or someone would"borrow" my zelda game n id never see it again. Next on my list...mike tysons ass on punch out lol.

[@JZF629]

Zelda has the triforce of wisdom, you (the player) collect the triforce of courage. Gannon has the triforce of power

[@chrisbye921]

Love this guide

[@tommythecat4698]

Forgot just how FRIGGIN HARD this was. and how in the world we beat this back before the internet.

[@percpianogal9402]

I did it with sheer fortitude in 1990. It took me a week to finish the first quest (I didn’t know where all the heart containers were) and I needed a book from my uncle to get through the 2nd quest.

[@carminebasilicata6755]

You do an amazing job

[@meep2059]

Great video!

[@taiphonix9232]

After You've disposed of all the babies , - I can't...

[@cominup85]

I've completed this game so many times and still couldn't do it like this. Even after watching this I'll get lost haha.

[@emmab2767]

Idk if I can do it I spend like 700 hours of my life playing this

[@Redmage1987]

Yep, you're right. How very annoying -.-* (not that you're right, but that I'm wrong) Thing is, I have been looking at maps with enemy & item placement before recording to make SURE all my info is correct. When I looked at the map of this, it showed 3 Reds & 3 Blues in that room. I figured I remembered wrong because 2 Reds might have been inside each other, but nope. I just checked again & you're right. Some people need to check maps/guides before posting them. >=( Thanks for the heads up! =)

[@tenderpawsm473]

I didn't truly understand the point of the red ring. Link didn't get to use it for very long. And if "go to the next room" simply means to blow up the wall, well, Link did a lot of that before him. So why was this particular wall different?

[@MissionaryOnWheels]

Haha our narrator does the video like a Safari tour guide! Ha

[@thepokergod1980]

Thx! Great tutorial

[@Redmage1987]

That would work too, lol. The path you seen here is the one I always take. I guess it just always felt quicker to me. I don't think it makes a difference either really. I think he might be a Were-Pig. Maybe Link should have justed used the Were Sword from Final Fantasy 1 then, lol.

[@nickbzerkr9722]

Great video! One thing, you said you can't defeat Gannon without the silver arrow but you can.

[@GulfCoastSportsLLC]

No, you cannot! Fucking troll!

[@TopKirby8305]

Ah Level 9.....LOVE THAT MUSIC! XD I remember the first time I ever went in there and heard that sinister music playing I got chills. Of course getting lost (Trying to find Ganon & Silver Arrows), fighting a million Patras & Lanmolas in addition to Blue Wizzrobes never got boring either!

[@Ppppp943]

Dope Video thank you

[@bodegaboylex]

Thank you very helpful

[@jenniferburchill3658]

The first time I played this, I found Ganon before the silver arrow 😨

[@solfeinberg437]

Your narration style is hilarious - so deadpan an so technical using every enemies name and repeating the treatment and format. Two wisrobs, one red, one blue. Don't let the like likes eat your magic shield . . . .

[@kungfuman1951]

I actually beat this without obtaining the red ring

[@Swinbad]

So...the whole part about "killing the children" of Patra, and then killing off the mother made me lose it...

[@BENJIR2D2]

Is quest #2 fun to play? I always stopped after defeating Gannon.

[@dailycoffee8533]

Yes the LOZ 2nd quest is fun to play only somewhat harder.

[@richardsantalone9380]

@@dailycoffee8533 Yes indeed. For starters, in the first maze on the second quest, the skeletons throw swords at you, so you better make sure you buy the magic shield first BEFORE you go in. I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND buying the blue candle as well and picking up the heart container located in the upper left portion of the graveyard (you have to push the second tombstone from the left in the second row in order to expose the hidden cave). There is an old man who lives in this cave -- he is the first of the five old men who say "Take Any One You Want" -- you're given the choice of a heart container (this increases the length of your life meter) or the red life potion. ALWAYS take the heart container when you find these old men because you can always buy the red life potion from the old women who sell them later in the game. In the second quest, the other four old men with heart containers are in the following locations: one is located in a hidden cave in a small clearing in the northernmost part of the overworld east of the hidden entrance to the Level 9 dungeon and another is located in a hidden cave in the overworld sand desert -- you need to get the magic recorder located in the Level 2 dungeon first in order to open these caves. The remaining two heart containers are in the same location as the first quest: one is located on a dock in the sea all the way to the east (you need to get the step ladder in the Level 6 dungeon first) and the other is located in the island cave in the easternmost part of the overworld (you need to get the raft located in the Level 4 dungeon first). 😎

[@Adowel123]

I always killed the 6 Likelikes in the dark room then went left, same amount of rooms just different enemy sets.v I dont think that really makes a difference tho. Hmm Ganon is killed by a silver arrow... Does that mean he is a Were-Pig?

[@Wizardly27]

Words cant explain how much i hate blue wizzrobes

[@FirstLast-vl1uy]

i never finished quest 2. Is it much harder? Is Ganon also the final boss?

[@bretthoffay7003]

damn, past a room, can't go back, totally lost. just finally beat it the other day but playig the ending again for fun and, if you go past the wrong rooom, good luck gettting back to it. so stupidly confusing

[@garretroland3485]

1st try never got the red ring in the nintendo switch still didn't able too find it.!! yet...??

[@randomgamer-st1ie]

Best video game of all time.
