How to Get the 6th Crystal in Zelda

The sixth crystal in "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" is easily one of the trickiest to acquire. It is located in the Dark World, in a dungeon amidst the gloomy swamps of Misery Mire. It is well protected. Lost travelers and foolhardy warriors will not be able to find the dungeon's hidden entrance. To get the sixth crystal, players must utilize the Ether Medallion and the Cane of Somaria to find the dungeon's entrance, and solve the puzzles of this penultimate labyrinth.
