Then he gives you the Goron's Bracelet. You can now pick up Bomb Flowers that are growing on the ground. You then need to leave Goron City, returning to Death Mountain Trail. | To quickly reach [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Goron City|Goron City]] from [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/The Lost Woods|The Lost Woods]], as long as you have already [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Goron City#To the Lost Woods|opened the passage]] linking the two domains, head to the [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/The Lost Woods#Target Practice|Target Practice]] area and turn left.

Outside Goron City, bear right at the circle of rocks. There you'll see a lone Goron sitting by a lone Bomb Flower. If you look closely, you'll notice that Dodongo's Cavern is directly below. You'll also notice that the fence behind the Bomb Flower is a bit lower than the rest of the fence. Pick up the Bomb Flower and throw it over this low fence. With a proper throw, the bomb will destroy the boulder in front of the cavern. Dodongo's Cavern awaits! | Outside Goron City, bear right at the circle of rocks.

Back-flip over this low fence to receive the heart piece bellow if you have not already.

You'll enter the first room, a decievingly small room with Bomb Flowers growing on either side. The wall directly in front of you seems to be made of a different kind of material. Take one of the Bomb Flowers, set it by this back wall and step away. Boom! The main cavern is revealed. | You'll enter the first room, a decievingly small room with Bomb Flowers growing on either side.

Quickly leap across the central platform and over to the west side, careful to avoid the blue beam of the Beamos, as it will attack upon sighting you. Bombing the wall on the left reveals a treasure chest. It's the dungeon map! After taking care of the Beamos, look around, and you'll find a Business Scrub in the grotto. When he's defeated, he offers to sell you a Deku Shield. This may come in handy later... | Quickly leap across the central platform and over to the west side, careful to avoid the blue beam of the Beamos, as it will attack upon sighting you.

The best way to avoid him when he rolls is to hide in one of the corners, but if you can't get to a corner in time, just stand on the crease bordering the lava pool. He shouldn't hit you. If you crouch under your Hylian Shield while he is rolling, you will be virtually invincible to his rolling attack. When he stops rolling, he will try breathing fire at you again. Throw another bomb in his mouth. Do this four times and you will defeat him. | The best way to avoid him when he rolls is to hide in one of the corners, but if you can't get to a corner in time, just stand on the crease bordering the lava pool.

King Dodongo will end up rolling into the lava in the middle of the room and fry himself to a crisp. Get the Heart Container and leave. | King Dodongo will end up rolling into the lava in the middle of the room and fry himself to a crisp. Get the Heart Container and leave.{{-}} | ||

When you exit Dodongo's Cavern, Darunia meets you with great joy. He is happy you got rid of the monsters in the cavern, but knows it was foolish to anger Ganondorf. He decides your bravery is that of a Goron brother, and he happily gives you the Spiritual Stone of Fire. | When you exit Dodongo's Cavern, Darunia meets you with great joy.

With that advice, he gives his thanks with a "big Goron hug".

As you head up the mountain, you come to a fork. Bearing right would lead you to Goron City. If you bear left and move farther up the mountain, a few boulders block your way, but they are easily taken care of by a few bombs. Once you get past these boulders, you can hear a cow mooing! You can use another bomb to destroy the boulder atop the ridge. Drop down in the hole to find a cow and some Rupees. If you play Epona's song for the cow, you get some free milk! Continuing farther up the mountain, your Hylian Shield comes in handy as fiery rocks rain straight down on you from above. Finally you reach a shear rock wall. Climb it, but watch out for the Skullwaltulas. At each platform, clear out the Skullwaltula from above you. Finally you'll reach the top where you find Kaporea Gaebora. After he speaks to you, bomb the wall to the left of him. Venturing inside reveals a fountain, but no fairy. However, when you play Zelda's Lullaby on the fountain's crest, the Great Fairy appears and gives you a Magic Meter and the Spin Attack ability. With this, you can now charge up a spin attack with your sword that can take out several enemies at once, and when it's charged at full power, it becomes a Super Spin Attack with farther reach. However, each charge takes a little magic to use, but you can refill your Magic Meter with Magic Jars you'll find, or when you swig down a Green Potion. | As you head up the mountain, you come to a fork.

Since it seems your work is done in this area, at least for the time being, you wonder where next you should go. When last you met with Saria, she gave you a song by which to communicate with her at any time. Playing this song now, she tells you what she knows: the Zoras, an aquatic people living in the east, possess the Spiritual Stone of Water. | Since it seems your work is done in this area, at least for the time being, you wonder where next you should go.
