Forty-third video. This is the background music to the eighth Essence dungeon of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. The cleverest dungeon in the game (in my opinion), this is the Sword & Shield Maze.
One floor is shaped like a sword and has a fire theme. The other floor is shaped like a shield and has an ice theme. Both floors contain enough challenges, traps, and puzzles that they may frustrate you into submission. Consistent with the dungeon theme, the miniboss is a creature called Frypolar who alternates between "hot" and "cold" forms; you must use your Ember Seeds against "Cold" and throw Cold's ice blocks that he summons at "Hot" in order to be victorious. Though this is the only dungeon located in Subrosia, it is my favorite in the game.
As the Explorer's Crypt was my trip up to where I went on vacation, this was my trip back. Again, it was created on the laptop, so if there are any quality issues let me know right away. There are two other songs I wish to do to complete this series, like there were in Ages. The first is the Temple of Seasons, corresponding with the Black Tower. The second is Onox's Castle, which is like the Room of Rites in that it was found in both Oracle games (it is the same as the top floor of the Black Tower). Thirdly, though it is not a dungeon, I will do the Tarm Ruins. Enjoy!
