(I'm sure you remember the way). In the area a little bit south of the village, there's a house with a book above the door. This is the library. Go inside...

See that green book on top of the shelf? That's the Book of Mudora...and

you can't reach it! It's wierd how such a simple problem like this can become so hard to solve in the game. Ram into the shelf with your newly aquired Pegasus Boots and it wll drop to the floor. Yahoo! Now you have all the items you need to get through the Desert Palace.

-- GOING TO THE DESERT PALACE --

Now it's time to go to the second dungeon. Go to your house (you know where your own home is, don't you?), then go straight south from there to a swampy grassy place. From there, head west until you get to the desert (you'll know it's the desert because there's sand, duh).

Go through the desert and avoid the enemies (or fight them if you want, I don't care either way). Keep going until you reach a big dark-green platform that is the entrance to the desert palace. It's found on your map. There's an ancient Hylian inscription on the stone slab in the middle. You can't read it normally, so you need to use the book of Mudora to translate. "To open the way to go forward, make a wish here, and it will be granted". Link makes his wish and miraculously, the stone

heads move around, uncovering the entrance. Go right ahead to enter your

second dungeon, the Desert Palace...

-- THE DESERT PALACE --

Go up until you get to a laser-eye statue. This statue has an eye that goes around it, and a laser shoots out of the eye when it's facing you. Be careful around him...a hit from that laser takes away an entire heart! Toss aside the pots at the left and continue through the north door.

Be careful around these enemies, defeat them if you want. Throw away the

pot at the top center to reveal a switch, then step on the switch to make a chest appear, then open the chest for the map. Go back down to the large room.

Go the the upper left corner of this room, then go through the north door. Be careful with the laser-eye statue! To get that key on the torch, ram into it with the pegasus boots. Collect the key and return to

the previous room.

Go around to the left side of this large room and use your small key to enter the locked door. In this room, kill all the enemies (except for Mr. Laser-Eye) to open the door. Get the compass from the chest, then
