Valley of Death

The Valley of Death is a location in The Adventure of Link.^[1] It is located on the southern part of Eastern Hyrule.

Features

The Valley of Death is the path that leads to the Great Palace, and it's considered a dangerous area because of its many lava pits and deadly enemies. Girubokkus, Geru, and invisible Moas are known to thrive here, and Link will have to fight them in order to make his way to the Great Palace. If Link does not possess the Cross from the Hidden Palace, he will have a hard time making his way through this valley, for the Moas are invisible without this item, thus making Link easy prey for them. There are a total of six side-scrolling zones in the valley: Two caverns, three fields, and the start of the place. After going through these extensive caves and lava pits, the Great Palace can be found at the top of the Valley of Death.

Trivia

In the prologue of the Japanese version of the game, Death Valley is mistranslated as "Disvalley."
The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia suggests that the Drablands from Tri Force Heroes may have become the Valley of Death, citing similar ruins and temples, though it does not state it as fact.^[2]
