Master the Treacherous Tower in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds with our comprehensive guide. Learn strategies for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, including tips for tough floors and bosses.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Beginner: 5 floors, weak monsters. A warm-up to familiarize yourself with the mini-game.
  2. 2
    Intermediate: Floors increase, monsters get tougher. Bring the Tornado Rod and health-restoring potions. Floors 11 and above have slippery floors. Use the Tornado Rod to stun charging soldiers. For Snow Hinox on Floor 11, use the Tornado Rod, Hookshot, or Boomerang to immobilize them or knock them into chasms.
  3. 3
    Advanced: 50 floors. Prepare with at least one fairy in a Bottle and two Blue Potions. Rent or buy the Tornado Rod, Ice Rod, and Fire Rod. The Hylian Shield is recommended for defense. The Great Spin attack (obtained by rescuing all 100 Maimai) can clear floors quickly. The Red Mail from the final dungeon aids survival.
  4. 4
    Early Advanced floors: Use Great Spin or Tornado Rod to stun enemies. The Gigabari can be tricky due to bouncing off it.
  5. 5
    Floor 29: Three Lynels. Block flames with the Hylian Shield and use the Hookshot or Boomerang to knock them into the abyss.
  6. 6
    Floor 47: Smiley face blocks shooting ice and tough Fire Gimos. Use the Ice Rod to freeze smiley faces and Gimos, then switch to the Fire Rod for Fire Gimos.
  7. 7
    Floor 49: Three tough Lunels.
  8. 8
    Final Floor: A stronger Moldorm. Keep distance, swipe its tail. When it speeds up, use the Hammer to stun it (hit the head for a longer stun) before swiping its tail.
Tips
  • Bring the Tornado Rod for stunning enemies, especially charging soldiers and Snow Hinox.
  • Carry health-restoring potions (Blue Potions recommended for Advanced).
  • Consider storing a fairy in a Bottle for emergencies.
  • The Great Spin attack is highly effective for clearing many floors quickly in Advanced levels.
  • The Hylian Shield offers good defense against fire attacks.
  • Use the Ice Rod to freeze enemies and environmental hazards, and the Fire Rod to counter specific enemy types.
  • The Hammer is useful for stunning the final Moldorm.
  • The Red Mail provides significant defensive benefits.
