Time for the final dungeon...and it's the hardest one yet.
When you beat Eagle's Tower, the Flying Rooster returns to the chicken man's house.
Remember the cave with the flamethrower? You'll need the Mirror Shield from the seventh dungeon in order to get past it. Just equip the shield and hold the button you've equipped it to to get past the flame.
Go west of the chicken man's house, and you'll find Marin stranded on a lone area of the broken bridge. Just hookshot to the other side and you'll rescue her. Tarin shows up and then he and Marin walk to the left. (Apparently, I was mistaken. This is the last time you see him.) The Owl shows up and tells you that she sang The Ballad of the Wind Fish in front of the egg. No wonder she was up here in the mountains! He also tells you that the final dungeon is in the west.
Go west again, and you'll find a staircase leading underground underneath the bush. There is a part of the wall in the south end of the screen that you can bomb. Blow it up, then follow the path to find a Heart Piece.
When you make it to the other side, you'll find a lone rock. Pull it out with the Power Bracelet to find yet another underground well. Use the Magic Powder on it to get the ability to carry more arrows!
One screen west, drop down to the south. Bomb the opening in the wall and follow the path to...come across a flamethrower! Since you have the Level 2 shield, you can equip it and use it to get past it. Once you're at the other side, you'll finally be able to make it to the Turtle Rock dungeon. Play the third song to open it up. You'll wake up the turtle head, and it will crane its neck out to try to attack you. Swing at it with your sword as quickly as possible, and it will very easily die. Now you'll finally be able to go in.
Turtle Rock
The flying demons should be killed as quickly as possible, otherwise he'll start moving around the room, spitting fireballs and become even more of a pain in the ass. You'll have to kill the two bats he splits into, and you'll have to do that to get some of the puzzles completed.
The little machines can be controlled with the Control Pad as soon as you walk into them. Use them to get rid of lava and pits.
You won't be able to get to those two lamps quite yet...not unless you have the item for this dungeon.
To the east of the first room after the entrance, you'll have to poke the walls with the sword to find the secret room with the switch in it. When you find the part of the wall that makes a metallic clang noise with the sword, that's your cue to blast that part with a bomb to find it. This room is crucial, as you won't be able to complete this dungeon without reaching it.
One of the stairs that leads up takes you to a dead end. If you're low on supplies, go over here. It's pretty helpful.
The mini-boss with the boxing gloves can be taken care of very easily with the Whirlwind Slash. If you've hit the switch I mentioned earlier, congratulations! You'll be able to get the Magic Rod, which works like the Fire Rod in A Link to the Past.
The stairway in the wall that goes up in the upper-left corner of the dungeon takes you to the final Heart Piece in the game. It's very easy to get, thankfully. If you go east from here, you'll find a teleporter. Keep going east, and you'll be able to reach the upper platform in the room where the worms that have to be killed with Bombs to the mouth are. This way, you'll be able to open the chest that pops up after you kill them.
Remember those torches near the beginning that we couldn't light earlier because we couldn't reach them? Well, with the Magic Rod, we can!
The Magic Rod can also be used to melt the ice blocks that block your path to the Nightmare's Key.
To beat the Nightmare here, zap it to death with the Magic Rod while avoiding the fireballs that come out whenever it jumps around in the lava. It has a second form, but it's still pretty easy (much like the bosses in the rest of the game).
When you beat the Nightmare here, you'll get the Thunder Drum. It's time to go to the egg.
