Zelda II - The Adventure of Link (Zelda 2) Walkthrough on Nes: From the island palace to the labyrinth one
Map of Hyrule's second island - Map of the North-East labyrinth

Leave the island by taking the cave back, go back up to the road and go East to the pier. Continue towards the sea to use your raft.

After a short raft trip, Link lands on the Eastern island of Hyrule. On this island, you will encounter new enemies and some of them (Tektite and Basilisk) can only be killed with the "fire" magic. First of all, go to the small isolated wooden square (1) south-east of the pier to find a 200 experience point bag (2). Before exploring the island too much (since you don't have the fire magic, it's quite dangerous), I advise you to head quickly East to visit the town of Nabooru (3).

Go left to the Nabooru fountain and take some water by pressing B (1). Go back to the right and talk to the lady in red who is coming out of her house and who was thirsty. She then invites you to follow her (2). Once at her place, go to the cellar so that the old sage can teach you the fire magic (3).

Leave the town and head south to the cave (1). Cross it while killing Tektite (2) (with fire) and Skettlar (3) (I advise you to use low attacks when he opens his eye, it often allows you to avoid his shots at the same time). Take the 500 experience point bag and come out of the cave.

Head east along the mountain, after surely a few fights (1 and 2) that will be hard to avoid, you will arrive at a place where you will need to use the Jump magic to find a 500 experience point bag.

Go back up to Nabooru and pass the village to enter the cave just to the north. Avoid (1) or kill the Basilisk (with Fire) and go out the other side of the cave. On the other side of the mountain, head towards the East. Before taking the bridge, pick up the life (2) just at the bottom left. In the labyrinth, follow the outer wall from the bottom (3).

Continue following the wall on the right to the end of the path (1). You fall into a cave. Kill the Lizardman (2) who fights like the ironknuckles and save the small child dressed in white (3) to the right of the cave. Leave the cave on the left then the labyrinth always by following the outer walls. Head to the left until the end of the forest and go through the pass leading to the West.

Cross the two horizontal passages while paying attention to the Octoroks and then to the bubbles that could push you into the water. Continue your path to the town of Darunia.

In the second part of the town, use the Jump magic to climb onto the first accessible roof (1). Jump from roof to roof to the right and enter the chimney by pressing down (2). Go talk to the swordsman who will teach you the upward attack. Leave the house and access the third part of the town on the left. Talk to the old lady in purple and follow her home where an old sage will teach you the "reflect" magic. Leave the village and return to the labyrinth to the east.

Follow the bottom wall to the right to the second to last path and go up (1). Take the bridge upwards and go left. Use Fire to kill the few monsters and cross the action phase to the left.

Continue your path to the left and follow the road (1). You fall into a hole and recover a magic container (2). Retrace your steps, take the first path up and follow the path to the left.

Kill the few enemies one more time with fire (1) and continue your path. Go up at the first intersection and left at the second (2). Then follow the outer wall (3) and enter the labyrinth palace (save).
