I love reading the comments on tracks from games like this. These are conversations you don’t hear often. I remember playing Link’s Awakening as a kid feeling a lot of these things, hearing other people spell it out is so great to read.

[@seanobrien276]

Too right. I was one of those kids who was stuck on Eagle's Tower for a good while before figuring out what I had to do haha. I was also one of those kids thought the Wind Fish's Egg was legit scary (and in retrospect, that's probably partly by design)

[@giselleaberdeen3697]

I was thinking the exact same thing whilst navigating through all the tracks! Played this game when I was so little and it impacted me in so many different ways. Really intense and emotional, I even wrote pages and pages of fan fiction about it. Glad to see how many other people cherish it so much

[@-liomus-8197]

1:30 LOVE the callback to the cave theme here

[@eduardovicente8095]

Thank you for pointing this out never realized

[@GenesisSonicN64Mario]

It seems to be in a majority of all of the dungen themes in this game too.

[@DanyRobertHunselar-sq3kp]

Never realized it's the first dungeons theme😮

[@metaljacket8128]

What's particularly ominous about this track is it's right after Face Shrine, the saddest track in the game. As if to say Link has already confronted the moral dilemma and tragedy buried beneath the surface of this bright world...and now you're in _deep._ Now you're in the darkness beyond, set on your path, and about to face the worst and strangest aspects of this world.

[@SuperKamiGuru-i3c]

Link is crossing a moral event horizon by doing what he is doing

[@rugbyguitargod]

The plunge further into existential dread

[@DanyRobertHunselar-sq3kp]

I never thought, it's sad. I thought it meant something like: You gotta do what you gotta do!

Probably the darkest theme in the game.

[@camerondavis7245]

rly cuz to me it feels the lightest (not joking i feel high in the sky and lit up)

[@neslink]

honestly, this theme is unique on its own but the darkest and most depressing theme to me is the face shrine.

[@Corbsire]

This dungeon is so different and unique from the other ones like its the only dungeon to have more then 1 floor and that thing you have to do with the pillars is crazy different to. I think that's why I like it so much because it just stands out from the other dungeons and the difficult spike when you get here is insane the dungeon is so big to easy to get confused and lost and the boss is pretty creative also liked that little cut scene when you knocked Down the floors

[@d.n.3652]

CSHavok it was the only place where you can actually carry an item off screen and into the next screen

[@Terestrasz]

More like it had three floors.

[@timohara7717]

But it still was annoying

[@goldbigeagle6772]

Is it really the only dungeon to have multiple floors? Wow didn’t realize that, or that it was the only place you could carry and item offscreen. But I had a feeling there was something unusual about that.

[@micahbarrus8406]

​@@goldbigeagle6772it's not. Level 3 has 3 floors as well.

[@mrmosty5167]

Loved throwing that ball at those pillars. Until I figured out what to do I would sometimes “push-walk” Link along a wall out of boredom. His arms reaching out and the music made it seem like he was lost and crying out for any kind of assistance.

[@gilgammesh1]

THIS! I was stuck on this for months as a lil kid. Had dreams about this damn level. And had a dream where i have to throw the damn steel ball over a walled off hole in the floor. It was fucking true. This damn level.

[@hiokiryuuhei4714]

Daaaamn, that's crazy ! 😳

[@JohnX451]

Kirbies, balls of steel and a really angry bird. Haunting level.

[@MathamaniaMata]

To me, this is the best dungeon of the game. The entire dungeon revolves around that metal ball, and beginners have no idea what to do with it. Same went with the pillars. Weird part was that the dungeon is fairly linear, but that ball complicates things.

[@noahmcconnell5560]

its like the least linear dungeon evr...

[@Dhalin]

Fun Fact: It was possible, in the original Gameboy version, to cheese the pillar puzzle and skip straight to the boss. Once you get the mirror shield, you can do a screen warp (find the correct screen transition and bring your item menu up just as you transition screens) so that you end up on the ledge with the staircase up. This lets you reach the boss room without doing the pillar puzzle. Just.... don't try going back down through the tower. Take your instrument, and warp out and don't return, because IIRC, you can get stuck if you play around in there after defeating the boss.

[@louisatanner7746]

This reminds me of using that big yellow “cheat pack” 😂

[@dawn2955]

This game The first few dungeon themes are just a dangerous feeling,But nothing special there Then after you learn the island is a dream,All the dungeon themes are REALLY SAD

[@Vindrag]

Finished this dungeon for the first time yesterday!!! I've played almost all Zelda games, and if I ever do a countdown of the funniest and hardest Zelda temples/dungeons, Eagle's Tower will certainly be a part of that countdown. Really clever puzzles. I think it took me 5-6 hours to complete it.

[@picante_the_dragonslayer]

Can we just mention that out of every single Zelda game Link's Awakening has the most amount of foreboding dungeon tracks as all of them have somewhat of a dark and unsettling aura.

[@rainbowcamo8844]

Am I the only one who fricking loved this dungeon, like seriously, I love this dungeon so much, it's such and original consept and it's used so well. I always look forward to this dungeon even when I first start up the game. And the music suits it so perfectly. The only problem I have with it is that one of the keys is not nessasary and there were only 2. Nintendo please make another dungeon like this one in a future Zelda game.

[@churrascowonton6789]

bro I was 12 years old, I drew tiles by hand of every level because you needed to drop to certain spots on the lower levels, this game was so detailed omg.

[@JoacinoDaGona]

Most difficult (for a ten year old anyway) dungeon yet the dungeon I was most exited to play on each playthrough.

This level. THIS LEVEL, MAN.

[@ashkirby8896]

YOU CALLED?

[@truearea53]

ikr? I was like “Kirby???? What are you doing in an evil dungeon? Your the puff hero!”

[@ArmorOfGod7]

This tower always seemed so difficult when I was a kid. When I went back to play it as an adult for the first time in years, I figured out the pillars so quickly, lol.

[@andrewmoore2866]

I wonder if Metroid Fusion pulled some ideas of creepiness from this theme

[@d.n.3652]

I remember I couldn't figure out how to get to level 7 so I just skipped this and went to level 8. Using the magic rod on the eagle takes like two hits

[@holdengreen2151]

Was it even possible to get to Turtle Rock without coming to Eagles Tower? I thought you needed the mirror shield to have access to Turtle Rock.

[@d.n.3652]

Technically yes but you can use the pegasus boots and the rocs feather to jump to the left corner

[@GGorsty]

@@d.n.3652 That was the gimmick! I remember having found a way when playing this as kid me - but could not figure out how when doing again years later. I am playing it currently and will play it again. With fanart, probably. Then again. The soundtrack, amongst things is wonderful!

[@truearea53]

I shouldof known. For the magic rod is like the OP weapon in the Links awakening game.

[@vincentthelego7967]

I recently heard a remix of this very recently using the GBA Soundfont (If you played the Rom-Hack "Sacred Echoes", you know exactly what I'm talking about). It was pretty crazy how it just spiked back some memories of Playing Link's Awakening DX while a friend played alongside me with the HD version. The HD version's tune was a great talking point between my friends and I that I fondly enjoyed - that, and agreeing on how obnoxious the Steel Ball puzzle was.

[@troywright359]

I go to pick up a bowling ball, I hear this tune. Suddenly I need to head for the exit and make sure I can actually get out

[@gamersupreme793]

Hardest dungeon to me in the game

[@banana5547]

one of the most horrifying things i heard in my childhood

[@rolanddesjarlais8596]

This is my favorite dungeon music from the game.

[@TrunkJunky]

Sounds like an abandoned insane asylum.

[@Jaxxtir]

Not really, but I see how you feel that... Honestly, "face shrine" gives me more of the creeps than this.

[@PostTraumaticChessDisorder]

This theme found it's way to the darkest corners of my mind. I start hearing it at random places at random times...

[@AvoozlPlays]

There's music in Metroid Fusion which is similar to this.

[@steveh7487]

Metroid Zero Mission's Ridley Lair theme is really similar too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5alqYetd6eiiNE

[@Stormrider930]

When I first heard this music, I thought of the Twilight Zone.

[@mopbrothers]

Fun fact about this level: There is a staircase on the 3rd floor (via screen glitching) that takes you to the 4th floor. Beat the dungeon without knocking down the pillars.

[@GarththeVader]

Even better! To get the Mirror shield and access the whole dungeon from the second floor, simply have the boomerang before you start the dungeon, get to the shield chest and press the direction so the Rang is thrown diagonally to the switch! Worked for me and did a great treat!

[@GweeGwee]

hearing this makes me want to say fuck this place must've been something i was stuck at to have such negative feelings again

[@nonsensicalnonsense1307]

The ironic thing about this dungeon is that as a kid, I blew through it and had to help my friend with it. But I was the same kid who needed help to beat the Dungeon 2 boss because I couldn't grasp breaking his bottle.

[@Brand-pn5yz]

Man how high is this tower? Oh just 4 floors?

[@ivorymaster9716]

Crazy to see how Nintendo uses music tracks from older games and uses them in others. Pretty sure that the beginning of this song is either used in Metroid zero mission or Metroid fusion

[@GarththeVader]

The most amazing thing to easily skip a massive quarter or even third of the supposed route and to guarantee the Mirror shield is this: Make sure you have completely driven through the trade side-quest to get the boomerang, equip it, and go through the first floor (ground floor until you appear on the first floor with the floor switch in the corner and the chest with the Mirror shield, walk into the floor blocks and do a diagonal throw of the 'Rang and it should hit the switch to lower the floor blocks and gain entrance to the south east corner and the stairs to the third level to the mini-boss, this will guarantee you a easy route to all of the pillars and the floor to the Roof once all pillars are collapsed!

[@UnluckySuperstition]

I have to say its strange how i can play this dungeon so differently each time i play the game again. Like, the most recent play of it I did, I actually completely skipped the dungeon item because i never did all the switch flipping on the lower floor and just forgot about it in the end. I didn't even realize i was missing the item until i got frustrated i couldnt beat the boss when he did the move where he blows all his feathers at you and shoves you off the edge- then i had to backtrack for it.

[@Cthight]

Sounds like Metroid Fusion.

[@sfisher923]

Beware of the tower who peaks in diffuculty

[@Pwnicus187]

This song created an atmosphere of tension for me as a child playing this lol.

It does sound like Environmental Mystery.

It sounds a lot like Environmental Mystery from Metroid: Fusion.

[@OlleLindestad]

I was stuck on this dungeon for so long that I had dreams about it. (They involved bringing down the last pillar using a magical field hockey ball. Mostly, though, they involved waking up and realizing, to my despair, that I was still stuck.)

[@fernandosolis3026]

Back when there were no playthroughs it took me one month to figure out how to beat this level.

[@bobstevenson3130]

I was lost in this dungeon so long as a kid

[@Nier2J]

I think this one should have been the last dungeon of the game, and the 8th one should've been the 7th.

[@Nier2J]

Oh, 8 is surely dark but I didn't find that one as original and impressing as the 7 one, see ? But you're right, it's less tense than the eagle tower. Everything concerning eagle tower was well done you see ? The music fits really well the dungeon, it's like you hear some echo, like the dungeon is really big, which is the case here !

[@AdeonWriter]

Well, 8 and 7 are the only dungeons you can legitimately play in reverse order, if you want to

[@hiokiryuuhei4714]

Really ? How did you make to pass the flamethrower that block the access to the Turtle Rock without the Mirror Shield ? :O I played this game when I was a child so I didn't tried...

Worst part about Turtle Rock was that boxing guy mini boss. It took me like a month to finally figure out how to beat him as a little kid
