The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds dungeon guide

Dungeons have been the keystone of The Legend of Zelda since the start, and this entry is no different. We told you what we think of the game in our The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds review, but we want to do more. We want to help you get through each of the game's challenging dungeons.

Follow along, and we'll guide you through every puzzle and boss battle. Let's save the princess together!

Note: There may be alternative solutions to some puzzles. In the case of puzzles requiring certain items, we only mention said items. You may find shortcuts or alternative solutions if you rent extra items from Ravio. Also, you may choose to take the dungeons in a different order; we went with the "classic" route for this guide.

Need help tracking down all 100 MaiaMia Babies? We've got a guide for that. Searching for every Master Ore? We've got a guide for that too. Want to find every heart piece in the game? Oh yes, we've got a guide for that too!
