The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Hey all, I bought this game a few days ago, but I'm stuck.

I beat the Wizard, and I'm in the dark world. My problem is that I can't find the pearl that I need to stay in my normal form. Can anyone possibly help?

havent played the game in like a million years but i think thats the part where you have to go into the dark world and then go do some place like south of the woods where you get the flute, and go to a screen with a circle of rocks. then you use your mirror and youll be on some place normally unreachable and you go in the cave there.

if thats not it im sorry, but i know something is in that cave.

i was wrong. it was bugging me so i looked it up

Now it's time to head for the third dungeon of the Light World: The
Tower of Hera. From Kakariko Village, head north-east around the edge of
the Lost Woods. After you pass a V-shaped group of trees, there's a sign
that reads "Do not enter Death Mountain without the King's permission!".
Toss aside the large green stone there and enter Death Mountain.

Ack! It's dark again! Drop down the ledge and go right until you meet a
lost old man. He's going to go with you up Death Mountain. Go right to
the next room. Make your way through this room and listen to what the
old man's has to say.

When you get outside, go right until you reach a little cave. You'll
leave the old man here...and he gives you the magic mirror! If you ever
need to refill your hearts, come here and talk to the old man to have
your energy restored. You also get the option to start here when you
turn on the SNES.

Continue going right, then up the ladder. When you get to a cave, ignore
it and go left. Take note of the next cave you get to. Whenever you need
to go back down the mountain, you go through this cave. Now go up this
tall ladder.

Go right, past the cave, until you get to a wierd looking warp. There
are a few warps like this hidden all around Hyrule. Entering them brings
you into the Dark World. The Dark World is a sort of parallel universe
to the normal world. This world is ruled by Ganon and infested with
powerful monsters. To go back to the regular world (a.k.a. Light World),
use the magic mirror that the old man gave you. But you cannot use it to
go to the Dark World...you must use the warps to enter the Dark World.

So enter that warp. Since you do not have the Moon Pearl, which allows
you to retain your regular form in the Dark World, you have turned into
some kind of rabbit. When you are in the Dark World, you change into
what is truly reflected in your heart and mind. Apparently Link is a
rabbit at heart.

Go left and stand in the Light colored floor where Spectacle Rock used
to be. Use the magic mirror there to go to the Light World, and you
should be standing on top of that rock. Collect the piece of heart and
drop down at the other side.

Now go right a little bit and climb the steps to enter the Tower of
Hera...


-- THE TOWER OF HERA --


Here's the 411 on those crystal orb thingys: All around this dungeon
(and many other future dungeons), there are crystal orbs. When you hit
them with the sword or boomerang, the blue and orange barrier blocks
will rise and fall. The orb also changes color to show which blocks are
lowered.

Okay, so hit the orb to make the blue blocks fall. Then go down the
stairs at your left. Defeat the enemies here if you want. Hit the orb,
get the small key, and hit the orb again to raise the orange blocks. Go
back upstairs.

Hit the orb to lower the orange blocks, then go north. Open this chest
to get the map. Go downstairs through the locked door at the top-left.

Here's more of those flying tiles. Guard yourslef from their attacks
until they're all done. Hit the crystal orb to lower the blue blocks,
then continue to the next room. Hit the orb (lowering the orange blocks)
and go south to the next room. Defeat the stalfos here if you want, then
light all four torches with your lamp. Open the chest that appears to
recieve the big key. Go north, hit the orb, go west, hit the orb, and
return to the second floor.

Now go upstairs again to the third floor. These enemies are a little
tricky to beat. You'll bounch off of them when you try hitting them with
the sword. Be careful not to fall into the holes (you will return to the
first floor if you do). It takes three hits to kill them. Defeat them
all in this room to open the doors, then continue to the next room.

Notice that star symbol on the ground? When you step on it, the holes on
the floor change position. Make your way through this room and through
the big door at the top. Also make your way through the next room,
hitting the star symbols whenever necessary. Continue upstairs to the
fourth floor.

Open the small chest in the center of this room to get the compass. Go
up the stairs at the top-left to go to the fifth floor.

Now hit the star symbol beside the turning fireball thingy so that a 2x2
hole appears in the middle near the top of the room. Drop into this hole
*from the north* so that you will fall to the fourth floor...right in
front of the big chest! Open it to recieve this dungeon's treasure: The
Moon Pearl. Hit the star and go back up to the fifth floor.

Now go up the stairs at the top-right of this room to face the boss:
MOLDORM. Check the boss section for details, blah blah...you know the
routine. When you're done sending him to the afterlife, get the heart
container and the pendant of wisdom. You have all three pendants! You
are transported out of the Tower of Hera...

Thanks! I just got it! I think it changed a little though.
