My complete Level 3: Skull Woods walkthrough for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Played in real time on Snes9x v1.43 rerecording with rerecords used to optimize video length.

Equipment checklist: 13 Hearts, 1/2 Magic, Bombos

- The 1/2 Magic upgrade can be obtained by jumping down the well next to the smithy's shop in Kakariko Village and sprinkling some magic powder on the statue within.
- You can get Bombos by traveling west from the Swamp Palace and warping back to the Light World in the area marked off by posts, then using the Book of Mudora to read the text on the monolith up on the hill in the desert.

[00:16] Burn them all
Gibdos (the mummies) take a lot of sword slashes to kill so I prefer to burn them all at once with Bombos.

[00:27] Wallmasters
These giant hands drop from the ceiling and will carry you back to the dungeon entrance if they catch you. Watch for their shadows to avoid them.

[01:32] Bomb propulsion
Stand at the very edge of the pit with a bomb at your back and it will blow you across to the other side. Don't touch the control cross until you're all the way across or else you'll fall in.

You can also get to the big chest by dropping down the hole in the bushes outside.

[03:41] Boss: Mothula
This giant moth inhabits a room with a moving floor and spike traps lining the walls, which makes movement and dodging highly complicated. Try to keep your distance, dodging the spike traps and Mothula's beam attacks as best you can, and return fire with the Fire Rod when you get a clear shot. If Mothula gets too close, bat it away with your sword.

I also have a no damage video here:
