The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Misery Mire

'Like the area surrounding the Ice Palace, this area was also changed drastically by Ganon's magic. While adventurers once had to cross what was lmpwm as tje Desert of the Golden Land, they later found themselves in a stormy swamp, filled with creatures that would rise from the muck.'

The Flight to Misery Mire
On the map of the Dark World, you can see a large swamp in the southwest corner of the land, but there doesn't seem to be any way to reach it. The canyon just to the east of Misery Mire ends in cliffs that block off the swamp. The answer has to be in the Light World. If you search the desert for a Warp Tile that might lead to the swamp, you will only find what you are looking for on the Duck's landing spot number six. Lift the right stone to reveal the warp to Misery Mire.

Points of interest
In order to keep the waters of the swamp from spilling out into the Plains of Ruin, Ganon blocked the passages between the two areas with high bluffs. The only way to enter this area is through a Warp Tile in the Light World. In the northwest, near the palace, adventurers can find two important caves.

Treasure cave
There are two caves in the vicinity of Misery Maze. The cave to the west contains two Treasure Chests and several blocks. An intelligent explorer should figure out just exactly how to push the blocks in order to get to the Treasure Chests. While one of the chests holds Rupees, the other one holds a Piece of Heart.

Faerie Fountain
The cave which is located east of the Misery Mire entrance is a good place for explorers to rest and tend to their wounds. By drinking from the Faerie Fountain inside, they will be rejuvenated and able to continue their journey. It is a convenient location for such a place.

Storyteller
An odd creature in the cave on the northeast edge of the swamp tells passersby about the entrance to Misery Maze. He says that only someone with control over the elements can enter the dungeon. Such controls is said to be possible through the use of the Ether Medallion.

Warp for health
An alcove has formed in the upper left corner of the mire. This alcove corresponds to an unreachable cliff in the Light World. By standing deep inside the alcove and using the Magic Mirror to warp back to the light world, you will reach a stairwell that leads inside the cliff, where you will find another Piece of Heart.

Misery Maze
The labyrinth under Misery Mire is sealed by the same magic that created the wind and the rain in the swamp. As long as the rain clouds hover over Misery Mire, the entrance to Misery Maze will remain sealed. The tile near the dungeon's entrance bears the same lightning bolt symbol as the Ether Medallion. While standing on that symbol, call upon the magic of the Ether Medallion, causing the clouds to vanish and the dungeon entrance to rise from the swamp.
