you can reach Barba to attack. This is a tall fire serpent and the head is the
weak point. After it spits fire at you jump up, slash, and wait for it to pop
up again. If you want to risk an attack try the Downward Thrust if you can't
seem to hit the head. If you can't position the shield correctly to reflect the
fire, just jump to avoid it. In fact, if you're particularly good at timing you
could hit before and after it fires. I suggest you stick to one platform only
and let the other pop-up positions go. Once Barba explodes take the unneeded
key (now you have three useless keys) and head right. Unlock the door and place
the crystal in the final gray altar. Now, for the final confrontation!

| Thunder Spell |

The final spell can be gotten in Old Kasuto. It was the town you skipped over.
Since we got the Cross you can now see invisible enemies, the ones that haunt
Old Kasuto. West of where the Hidden Palace once stood is a bridge. Cross over
it, using the Fairy Spell to get across quickly if you are pressed for time
(which you are! You want to beat this game, don't you?). In Old Kasuto you can
now see invisible enemies. Go to the first house and enter it. Go to the end
and a wise man will teach you the Thunder Spell. It kills all enemies on the
screen. However, it costs so much magic power you should almost never use it.

| Link Dolls |
+------------------+
It's not a doll! It's an action figure! No, really, you need extra lives to
get through the Great Palace. I'm serious. You NEED them. The Great Palace is
like the gates to hell. You want extra lives! So, I'll tell you where you can
get them. If you saw them earlier and took them then you shot yourself in the
foot. Once you get a Link Doll it never comes back. The Link Dolls can be
found in the places I list.
The first of the four is in Moruge Swamp, near the boulder blocking the cave
that held the Water of Life. The second is on the shore of the graveyard (the
one with King's Tomb) to the southwest. The third is on the shore of
northeastern Hyrule (the land area right before the bridge that connects to the
Island Maze). The fourth is hidden on the left border of the swamp south of the
River Devil. So, with seven lives you're ready to combat evil!
+-----------------------------+
| The Barrier is Broken |
+-----------------------------+
The six guardians are dead. The Great Palace is nearing discovery. Go to the
graveyard northwest of Old Kasuto and take the path to the south that leads to a
mountainous area. This is the largest island in all of Hyrule (most of Hyrule
isn't an island). Trek across this rocky terrain, avoiding enemies. By the
way,
this place is called the Valley of Death. This terrain is treated like the
inside of a cave in action screens. Soon you'll reach an action screen as the
path narrows to one space.
You must defeat two Lizardmen and bypass many Poes to reach the other side. It
is much easier if you use the Fairy Spell to cross, but you're conserving magic.
Eventually you'll reach a cave. Enter it and get across the first action screen
relatively easily. In the second stab the scorpion in the eye when it opens it.
Then you must face a Blue Lizardman. Don't take this half-heartedly; he is
strong. Use the Shield Spell if you can't seem to beat it. Easier, though, is
using the Downward Thrust to skip over it and run. Once outside make your way
to the next cave. Get through it (just run past the Lizardmen) and exit to the
Great Palace. Once there, pass over the blocks so the barrier is broken. It's
time.

| Great Palace |
+--------------------+
Note: If you get a Game Over in the palace you restart here. That way, you
don't have to go all the way from North Palace here (especially through the
Valley of Death).
Head right to the elevator. You must've already dispelled the aforementioned
barrier. Take the elevator down and go left. You'll face a Bird Knight, which
takes tons of hits to kill. They only take a few hits from below, though (use
the upward thrust). Once you do you get 200 experience points. In the next
screen, walk up the stairs and to the point where a pillar sticks up. Take one
step to the left and then jump across (it is a pit).
When you're done with that, take the elevator down. Head right from here to a
new screen. Continue right over a bridge (this isn't too hard...) to the next
screen. Continue right to fight another Bird Knight. To kill these easily
corner them and slash them to death. Now take the elevator down. In this new
room, cast the Shield Spell and Life Spell if you're weak. Go forward, avoiding
the Dragon Gargoyle statues as best you can, and break the blocks to flee the
scene to the right.
Next you'll be in a hard screen. Curse those Bird Knights. This one has a
shield and sword and is much harder. Run (unless you can spare a life or all
your magic) and reach a group of breakable blocks. Now take the elevator down
before that Bird Knight catches you. Keep going down until you reach the bottom
and head right. You'll fight a weaker Bird Knight and move to the next screen.
Just head right, skipping over enemies (you can Downward Thrust the red enemies
quickly to stop the fire) and go down the elevator. Continue right, defeating
