Now that we've rescued Zelda, it's time to head into the sewers and get her someplace safe!

Now that you're at the throne room, go up to the ornamental shelf behind the thrones. Zelda will tell you that this leads to a hidden passage, and you'll need a lamp if you want to be able to see. Thankfully, the game gave us three opportunities to get just that.
Hidden Passage
You'll only be able to see only a short distance in the direction you're facing...unless you light one of the lanterns with the Lamp. For a short time, you'll be able to see the whole room. Light more lanterns to brighten the whole place up as if it wasn't dark at all. They won't be lit forever, though. Keep that in mind, especially for later dungeons.
The rats here just move around. The bats will fly around in circles if you get near them.
Near the end of the path, you'll soon see a cracked wall. You'll have to return here later with Bombs to open it. To get past the blocks, just push the one in the center out of the way.
You'll have to pull a switch in order to enter the sanctuary. To do that, walk into the switch and hold A, then move opposite the direction you're facing. The one on the left causes snakes to pop out of the ceiling, which you can easily destroy with the whirlwind slash. The one on the right opens the door.
Sanctuary
You'll end up in the sanctuary. Zelda will tell you exactly what's going on: the wizard Agahnim is trying to break the seal of the seven wise men and open up the Golden Land again. The only weapon strong enough to beat the Wizard is the Master Sword.
Your first task is to find the elder of Kakariko Village, who is a descendent of one of the seven wise men.
Once you understand what's going on, go around the pastor and open the chest. You'll get a full Heart Container, which increases your maximum life by one heart. You're going to need it!
Now that you've reached the Sanctuary, you can now start here instead of Link's House whenever you save and quit. Of course, if you save and quit, the game counts this as a death. (This only applies to the Super Nintendo version. GBA players, your deathless files are safe!)
Adventure!
As soon as you leave the Sanctuary, you have free reign of the land of Hyrule. Your first task is to head west to Kakariko Village. Of course, HCBailly is going to do some sight-seeing on the way there, so hang on for the ride.
Lost Woods
Just north of the entrance to the woods, you'll see a bunch of bushes behind a tree stump with an opening in it. Get rid of the bushes with either the A button or with your sword (the sword is much easier), and you'll find a hole in the center of the bushes. Drop down the hole and you'll find your first Heart Piece of the game. Collect four to get a full Heart Container and add a heart to your maximum life.
You'll see some guy when you leave. If you talk to him, you'll find out this is a secret meeting place for a gang of thieves, and that a former member stays at the desert entrance.
Near the tree stump hideout is a mushroom. Pick it up, you'll need it for later.
The fortune teller near the village will tell you where to go if you get stuck.
Kakariko Village
Head out of the woods and head south. Welcome to Kakariko Village.
The first house you see is the house of an old woman. The elder has went into hiding as soon as Agahnim started claiming victims. She'll tell you about the Master Sword and that it's currently sleeping in the Lost Woods. She'll then tell you that there should be someone in the village who knows where the elder is.
All the signs will label you as the man who kidnapped Zelda. Apparently the whole castle and its soldiers are under Agahnim's spell after all.
Drop down into the well and you'll be able to open the chests in the village cave. One of them will contain Bombs. Use a Bomb to break the cracked wall to the north to get a Heart Piece.
In this game, you can place a Bomb on the ground, then use the A button to pick it up and throw it. Don't be near it when it blows up, or else you're going to take damage.
