Complete DOOR #1 walkthrough for The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, including how to get the Compass and the key.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the leftmost door. Go up the stairs to face Stalfos (skeletons that push you or body slam) and Keese.
  2. 2
    In the next room, shoot the eye with an arrow to proceed past two flying skulls.
  3. 3
    In the subsequent room, you will face an ambush of four Stalfos. Use the Cane of Pacci or Gust Jar on them.
  4. 4
    Head down to a room with two Like Likes, one disguised as a green Rupee on the left and one as a red Rupee on the right. Dispatch the Spark with the Boomerang.
  5. 5
    Head up the ladder and go to the northwest room. Shoot the four eyes on the platforms.
  6. 6
    Head up, equip the Bow, and clone yourself on the tiles aligned with the buttons. Step on the buttons, cancel the clone, and kill the Eyegores (statues). The big chest contains the Compass.
  7. 7
    Double back and take the right door.
  8. 8
    Kill the Ropes and clear the covered tiles. First, clone yourself vertically and push the right stone all the way, then push the bottom one to the left.
  9. 9
    Go back, clone yourself horizontally, and push the first stone all the way up.
  10. 10
    Pull the lever. A key falls down the hole to the bottom.
  11. 11
    Drop down the hole (you take no damage) and grab the key.
  12. 12
    Go back to the room and choose the next door.
Tips
  • Stalfos can be tricky; using the Cane of Pacci to flip them or the Gust Jar to blow them away can be effective strategies.
  • The Spark can be defeated with the Boomerang.
  • Dropping down the hole to get the key is safe and does not result in damage.
