Another day, another video; I'm going to try to keep up that pace. ... It would be nice if I could keep up that pace. ... I probably won't keep up that pace once I get into the Dark World dungeons. ... Who am I kidding, the Ice Palace and beyond is going to be a bitch and take at least two days each.
Yeah, another easy dungeon here. There's a couple tricky parts in the Desert Palace but still nothing bad if you know how to handle them. After a couple test runs I went through the entire dungeon without using any re-records, used one to cover a stupid pause mistake outside the boss room, then used two more to get a good take of the Lanmolas, for a grand total of three. At least the Pegasus Shoes let me zip through it fast.
Edit: Wow, I must still have Super Metroid on the brain. I wrote "Ice Beam" in the Lanmolas strategy instead of "Ice Rod."

Zelda A Link to the Past - Desert Palace
My complete Desert Palace walkthrough for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Played in real time on Snes9x v1.43+ with re-records used to optimize video length.
Equipment checklist: 6 3/4 Hearts, Ice Rod
The Ice Rod can be found in a cave on the north-east shore of Lake Hylia.
[02:32] Piece of Heart
This is why I recommend having 6 3/4 hearts before you enter, so that you can complete your 7th mid-way through the dungeon.
[03:07] No place to hide
Be quick about getting through this room because the only safe point is behind the statue at the very bottom. Just keep running even if you get hit.
[03:49] Boss: Lanmolas
The Ice Rod will make quick work of these giant sand worms—if you can hit with it. The Ice Rod's shots travel very slowly and the Lanmolas can only be damaged on their heads, which makes timing your shots difficult. Otherwise, use your sword and remember that the dirt clods will always fly out diagonally until there's only one Lanmola left, at which point they'll fly out in all eight directions.
I also have another no damage video here:
