10 Hardest Legend Of Zelda Dungeons

10. Death Mountain (The Legend Of Zelda)

The original Legend of Zelda had its fair share of tough-as-nails dungeons, but it saved the most brutal for last.

Level nine, Death Mountain, was the longest in the game with more than 50 rooms to get lost in, and every one of them was a scene from Link's worst nightmares. The developers went out of their way to cram them with the most infuriating enemies in the game, from Wizzrobes to Darknuts, and those statues which spat fire... Urgh!

Secret passages were impossibly concealed, so it wasn't uncommon to squander all of your bombs in search of them. The only thing worse than that was running out of silver arrows during the final showdown with Ganon.

Although technological advancements have allowed Nintendo to create more detailed and sophisticated dungeons in future Zelda games, in more than 30 years, they have never gotten much harder than this.
