Head down the stairs to a very small second floor basement, and go immediately down the next staircase to the lowest level of the dungeon.  First, you will find Princess Zelda safe but stuck inside of a cell.  Then you will notice the gruesome guard wielding a morningstar.  You can try to stun him with your new-found Boomerang[[Image:Zelda ALttP item Boomerang.png]], but it has little effect.  If you take some damage during the fight, the pottery nearby contains hearts, just in case you run low on life.  Better yet, you can throw the pottery at the guard, killing him even faster than with a sword.  The guard slumps to the ground with a final groan, dropping the [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Big Key.png]] '''Big Key''' that keeps Zelda imprisoned.

Use the key to free Princess Zelda, who will update you with all of the information she has. She informs you that the destination she would like to reach is the throne room. You must guard and escort her there. There also happens to be a chest in the cell with the Princess. If by some odd chance, you had not obtained a [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Lamp.png]] '''Lamp''' from the house ''or'' from the secret passage, this is yet another opportunity for you to collect one.  Otherwise, the chest will contain a blue rupee.  On the way back through Basement 1, you may take the upper pathway which serves as a shortcut back to the stairs to the first floor.  Keep running south until you reach the ladder that leads to the upper path.

Upon entering the sewers, you'll notice that it's very dark.  Mice run rampant in this room.  They typically run in a straight line and turn at right angles.  They tend to occupy the very edges of the room, but they occasionally run into pots or across the central areas so be aware of their position, or better yet, dispatch them with your sword.

At this point, making use of your Lamp, while not necessary, has more obvious benefits.  There are several torches in the dark halls and rooms below.  You can use your Lamp and light fires to brighten the rooms and light the way ahead.  Of course, you need to have Magic Power in order to use the Lamp.  The more immediate benefit of holding the Lamp[[Image:Zelda ALttP item Lamp.png]] is the glow of light that surrounds you.  It sheds enough light to help you make your way through the sewer even if you're completely out of magic.

Find the door in the upper right to head down to the next level.  It's a very small floor with another staircase leading to the basement level... and a lot of snakes.  Snakes are a little more fearless than the timid rats.  When they sense an intruder in the midsts, they approach rapidly and bite the legs of the unwary.  Strike them down with your sword, as they frequently drop valuable rupees that they unwittingly ingested.  Head down below with Princess Zelda behind you for even more challenges.
