PLEASE TURN ON VIDEO ANNOTATIONS!
Many things in this walkthrough are explained in notes on the video and also in the description below. Please read these before asking questions.
My complete Mountain Tower walkthrough for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Played in real time on Snes9x v1.43 rerecording.
Equipment checklist: 8 Hearts, Flippers, Magical Boomerang, Red Shield
The Flippers must be bought (for 500 rupees) from King Zora in Zora's Waterfall, in the far north-east corner of the overworld.
Once you've obtained them you can then access the Waterfall of Wishing, just outside Zora's Waterfall, where a great fairy will upgrade your boomerang and shield.
[00:36] Flying floor tiles
Don't bother trying to dodge these or time your sword swings to cut them out of the air, just hold your sword out in front of you and the tiles will shatter on it without being able to reach you.
[04:02] Hidden fairies
These fairies will reappear every time you enter the room.
[04:08] Heart reserves
Each pot enclosed in the orange switch blocks contains a heart, which is why the orange blocks should be left down while climbing the tower.
[04:13] Boss: Moldorm
This huge worm can only be damaged on its tail, and touching its body will bounce you away. Be careful not to get knocked off the edge or it will regain its full health when you climb back up. Spin attacks are effective due to their wide range, plus Moldorm won't damage you if it runs into your sword while it's held out.
I also have a no damage video here:
