Post-Maze Navigation:
- On this floor, go through the leftmost door to find a treasure chest with an Ankh Shield.
- The second door from the left is a dead end.
- The rightmost door leads to a dead end on the lower floor (inaccessible yet).
- Use the second door from the right.
- Go through this door, then left and down through another door.
- Find a treasure chest at the bottom containing a ?HELM (turns into Star Helm).
- Go back up to the top right exit.
- Go right and down. Notice a switch in the middle. Go left to go around and reach the switch.
- Activate the switch to drain the water in the room to the top right. Proceed there.
- Follow the path down to the lower floor. Note a path to the north that is currently unreachable.

- You will now be where the switch was in the middle. Activate this switch again to fill the pool of water. Because you pressed the floor switch below, the water will now freeze.
- Go to the upper right part to the next screen. With the water frozen, you can now access the upper right path.
- In the next screen, find a Memory Circle to save your progress.
