Zelda 3 A Link to the Past Walkthrough on Super NES: Skull Woods, third crystal (GBA, SNES, Super Nintendo)

This palace has 7 entrances. The first 5 to visit are the skull in the center, the 3 holes around it (including 1 in the flowers), and the skull on the left (1). Start from the bottom left. Go down, take the right door, open the chest, and you get the compass (2). Take the door at the very top, the small key in the chest, and then the door on the right. Take the right door again (you are at the main entrance), press the stars, and take the map from the chest (3).

Go back out and take the entrance of the skull on the left, pull the statue onto the button hidden under the skull (1), and take the door. Open the chest to get the big key. Go back out and take the entrance hidden in the flowers. Make a hole in the left wall, press the stars, take the hole (2), and pull the lever. Go down, open the big chest, and you get the fire rod (3).

Go back out and take the entrance in the left skull again. Cross to the left and exit at the bottom end. In the forest, go up from the left and use your fire rod on the wooden monster (1). Enter, go down, cross to take the top door (slalom path). Cross the other room towards the bottom, take the left door, and get the small key from the chest. Return to the entrance, cross the bridge, and take the door. Press the stars to clear a path to the right door. Light all the lamps using the fire rod for the top lamp (2). The door at the top left opens, take it. Hit the ivy at the top center to reveal a secret door and take it (3). Kill the enemies to get a small key that opens the right door. Fall into the hole to face the Boss.

To kill it, use the fire rod. It moves quite quickly so aim well because if you run out of magic, you will have to finish it with the sword, which is not easy. During the fight, avoid the spikes coming at you and the shots from this giant moth that fire in 3 directions. So try not to stay right in front.

You can now continue the adventure by searching for the other crystals whose locations you now know. Here is a save file for the ZSNES emulator (to be copied and pasted into the Rom folder).
