The tunnel is dark, with only a small area for visibility. To go through the cave, turn east, take the south-east fork, followed by the small north path. You will then find an Old Man who needs help. After you escort him to a cave further up the mountain, he will give you the [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Magic Mirror.png]] '''Magic Mirror'''. The Mirror is used for warping to the Light World from the Dark World or to the beginning of a dungeon. | |||

Many of them still hold treasures and tools left by the Hylians when they moved to lower ground. Some of the caves were single dwellings, but others are multi-leveled networks of rooms. You should also seek refuge and treasure in the caves during your long climb to the top of Death Mountain. | ||

Legends tell of a magic Moon Pearl that allows people to retain their human forms in the Dark World. There are many tales about the location of the pearl, and one of the most persistently retold is that it lies in a chest somewhere in the Tower of Hera. Sahasrahla will send you a telepathic message urging you to find the famous pearl. | Legends tell of a magic Moon Pearl that allows people to retain their human forms in the Dark World.

Head through, and you'll encounter a room with three Tail Worms, two of which are located behind orange blocks. You can take them on at whatever rate you are comfortable, but you'll need to hit the orange Crystal Switch at some point to make the lower door accessible. | Head through, and you'll encounter a room with three Tail Worms, two of which are located behind orange blocks.

Destroying the Stalfos does nothing to change the room, but there is one other trick to try. If you recall, lighting all four torches was the key to completing the Desert Palace dungeon. That trick works here too. Quickly light all four torches to make a treasure chest appear. Open it up, and discover the [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Big Key.png]] '''Big Key''' inside. Now you have a choice. You may either return to the 2nd floor the way that you came, or take a little shortcut back to the entrance, courtesy of the Magic Mirror. | ||

If you drop through the top left hole in the floor, you will fall a long way down. When you finally land, you will find yourself in a Faerie pond room. Use the Faeries to restore your power, or fill your bottles, and take the Warp Tile back to the 5th floor. This will be a big help during the battle with Moldorm on the 6th floor. | If you drop through the top left hole in the floor, you will fall a long way down.

As Moldorm wiggles and writhes across the floor, you must do your best to situate yourself behind him in order to strike his tail. This is no easy task, as Moldorm never holds still, and rarely travels in a straight line. He prefers to turn frequently, and his motion is hard to predict. Naturally, if you want to get through this fight fairly quickly, the biggest thing you'll want to avoid is getting pushed over the edge and down to the floor below. You will be able to return if that happens, but Moldorm will return to his full strength if you leave the room. | As Moldorm wiggles and writhes across the floor, you must do your best to situate yourself behind him in order to strike his tail.

This is the only time he straightens himself. Use the pegasus boots to dash quickly, and you will go through Moldorm without getting knocked aside and pierce through his tail. Be sure to stop before you charge off the edge of the stage and face inward again. Doing this horizontally seems to be more comfortable than vertically. | ||
Another effective strategy is to charge your spin attack and approach while holding B. As long as you are moving towards him, and are facing him with your sword, he will be unable to harm you. You will keep your charge if you strike the head, and you won't fall from those rebounds as long as you are moving away from the edge. This allows you to safely move towards the tail. Once you do strike the tail, back off, and charge your spin attack again. | |||
Once you manage to land six blows to his tail, he will be destroyed, leaving behind a precious [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Heart Container.png]] '''Heart Container'''. Once you collect it, the final pendant, the '''Pendant of Wisdom''' will drop from the ceiling. | Once you manage to land six blows to his tail, he will be destroyed, leaving behind a precious [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Heart Container.png]] '''Heart Container'''.
