When you start the game, head into the cave nearby and take the Wooden Sword. Then, exit the cave and head east 1 screen, then north 4 screens, while defeating the Octoroks and Leevers along the way for some quick rupees.
Head west across the bridge to the next screen, then enter Dungeon 1, the Eagle.
Dungeon 1 (Eagle)
When you enter this first dungeon, head into the east room first. Defeat the Stalfos enemies, especially the one carrying the Key.
Go back to the first room, then enter the west room. Defeat the 3 Keese here and take the Key that appears. Go back to the first room and unlock the north door, then enter that room. Here, defeat the 3 Stalfos and continue to the following room.
In this room, beat some more Stalfos and grab the Key that appears, then head east to the next room. Get through all the Keese and take the Compass, then go back to the previous room. Keep going west into the following room.
Defeat the Keese and unlock the door leading north to the next room. There, defeat the 3 Gels and push the block to open the west door. If you want to see the old man, enter the west room; otherwise, continue east to the next room.
Defeat the Gels here and grab the Map, then head north to the next room. Here, beat the 3 Stalfos, particularly the one with the Key, then unlock the door and enter the next room.
In this room, defeat the 3 Goriyas and take the Key that appears, then unlock the west door and enter that room. Get to the west side of the room while avoiding the Blade Traps (step into the path of the Blade Traps to activate them, then move past as they retract). Push the west block out of the way and go down the stairs, then claim the Bow. Go back upstairs and head east 1 room, then south 2 rooms.
When you're back in the room with the locked door to the east, unlock it and enter that room. Defeat the 3 Goriyas and claim the Wooden Boomerang, then continue east to the next room.
Get the Key in the room while defeating or avoiding the Wallmasters that come out (try not to get grabbed or you'll be sent to the dungeon entrance). Unlock the north door and enter the boss room.
Read the
Enemies section if you need help (which I HIGHLY doubt you will) beating Aquamentus, which is this dragon boss. After you win, take the Heart Container and enter the last room to claim the Triforce piece. You'll then be brought back outside again.
