The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/West Rolling Ridge and Crown Dungeon

After obtaining the Burning Flame, you are directed to the next essence north of Nayru's House.

Goron caves
From the Skull Dungeon, you can easily head back to Nayru's House. However, the path to the north appears to be a dead end. To pass it, you need to travel back to the past through the nearby portal, and then use the Switch Hook to cross the chasm.


 * A Gasha Seed can be planted in the bushes south-west of the cave.

Upon entering, you will learn that the elder is trapped under a fallen rock, and the Goron need the to rescue him. The Bomb Flower needs to be obtained from the present - play the Song of Currents outside of the cave, and re-enter it.

In the present, the caves appear to be unnaturally vacant. The few Gorons that are around will mention the that's built a building near the caves.
