The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Dodongo's Cavern: Difference between revisions

To the right, just before the next room, is a destructible wall.  Behind it is a Business Scrub that offers to sell Deku Sticks for 15 Rupees each after being defeated.

This next room is filled with a crop of Bomb Flowers.  To the left is a destructible wall. Destroy it with the lone Bomb Flower next to it and enter the door into the next room. There are three statues surrounding a chest. The two off to the sides can be yanked away, but that does no good. One still blocks the chest, not to mention the door's barred shut. Strike the statue with your sword, and it comes alive! This is an {{im/oot|Enemies|Armos}}, and it will charge after you for disturbing it. Use Deku Nuts or the provided Bomb Flowers to stun it and then attack it with your sword. It will then self-destruct, so stay clear of it. Now, you are free to leave, and able to open the chest here, getting the '''Compass''' as a reward.

Now, go back to the room with all the Bomb Flowers. There is a gap between the them where a seemingly missing one can fit. Pick up the one that's separate from the others and place it where there is a gap. Boom! They all explode and a staircase descends. Climb up to the next level. You'll discover at the top of the winding passage a {{im/oot|Enemies|Skullwalltula}} and a {{im/oot|Enemies|Gold Skulltula}}. Use Deku Seeds on both to get rid of them, and climb the vines to grab the token.

In this room, there are some {{im/oot|Enemies|Fire Keese}} flying around. Be very careful that they don't burn your Deku Shield. You might want to equip the Hylian Shield now. After killing the Keese, take a look at the central column. Around it stand four statues, but given your experience with those statues, you know they can be dangerous. You'll  notice a ladder behind one.  That statue does not spring to life when you hit it, so you may move it aside and climb up. Press the switch on top, and the door is unlocked.

In the next room there are three platforms, but one is on fire. Directly in front of you, you'll notice an eye.  Using your slingshot, you can shoot the eye. The fires subside, and you can jump across into the next room, but act fast or the fire will return. Run through the passage beyond this room fast, since Baby Dodongos thrive along the path to door out of here.

Go right into the next room. There are a few Fire Keese in this room also. Go through the room until you get to its exit, but before leaving, hit the pots in this room to find a Fairy. It can revive you if you run out of health. If you catch it in a bottle, it will still provide its help, because you might need it for the boss, or fully restore your health anyway if you nudge up against it. Push the block up against the destructible wall and blow it out with a bomb. Kill the {{im/oot|Enemies|Armos}} in here and claim another {{im/oot|Enemies|Gold Skulltula}}. Go out of that room and go through the tunnel and push the block until it falls to the lower platform. Then push and pull it until it falls on to the switch. Then enter into the next room.

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'''.

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 {{im/oot|Ocarina Songs|Epona's Song}} for the cow, you get some free {{im/oot|Items|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 {{im/oot|Enemies|Skullwalltula|display=Skullwalltulas}}. At each platform, clear out the Skullwalltula 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, gives you a '''Magic Meter''', and enhances your '''Spin Attack''' ability. With this, you can now charge your spin attack for a stronger blow, and when it's charged at full power, it becomes a Super Spin Attack with farther reach. You can also do a quick spin attack by moving {{control|{{N64|neutral|control}}|{{gc|neutral|control}}|{{wii-cc|neutral|lstick}}|{{3ds|neutral|cpad}}|{{Switch|neutral|lstick}}}} in a circle and pressing {{control|{{N64|B}}|{{gc|B}}|{{wii-cc|B}}|{{3ds|B}}|{{Switch|B}}}}. However, each charged spin attack 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 {{im/oot|Items|Green Potion}}.  

{{Zelda PoH|title=[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Heart Containers# Death Mountain|Impa's Heart Piece]]|width=350px|contents=After exiting the cave, speak to Kaporea Gaebora, who is nice enough to carry you to Kakariko Village. He drops you on the rooftop of Impa's House.  Don't be too quick to drop down.  Turn toward the windmill and drop down carefully at the back corner of the house.  You should land on a wooden awning of sorts.  There is a hole in the wall behind you. Go in and collect the Heart Piece next to the cow in the cage.}}

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.
