Eight dragons wreak havoc upon [[Hyrule]] and capture princess [[Zelda]] and seal her in a prison. It is up to the hero [[Link]] to defeat the dragons and rescue the princess. The only way to break the seal is to collect the eight pieces of the [[Triforce]]. Link gets a piece after each dragon in their respective dungeon.

The enemies found in this game are [[Poe]]s, [[Stalfos]], and [[Moblin]]-like Goblin creatures. There are usually several Poes and Stalfos and a Goblin mini boss in a room Most of these rooms take place on the bottom screen, which also include remaining [[Heart]]s and Enemy's energy, which goes down as the Goblin takes damage. Poes and Stalfos cannot be attacked directly, and instead need to be dodged and blocked with the [[Shield]] respectively. When the goblin is defeated, the current score goes up in points and a staircase appears above Link, which goes to the next room. This traveling is reflected on the map on the left side of the top screen. Sometimes two staircases appear, both leading to different rooms. Link also collects items along the way, including a [[Map]], [[Water of Life]], and the game-exclusive [[Tomahawk]]. All of these items appear on the left side of the top screen. Link eventually finds a special staircase made of bones that takes him to the dragon room, which is on the right side of the top screen. Link must dodge fireballs while hitting the dragon with the Tomahawk. A Triforce piece is rewarded after defeating the dragon, which is reflected on the left side of the top screen. This process repeats until all dragons are defeated or Link runs out of hearts. When either of these conditions are met, the final score is recorded on a leaderboard and the game resets. However, the game features a Continue button that allows the player to restart at the beginning of the dungeon they were killed in with all progress up to that point intact. | ||
