Crater Cove

Crater Cove is a location in. Along with Goronu and Nortinka, it is one of the game's starting areas.

Features and Overview
Crater Cove is a volcanic shoreline in the eastern coast of Koridai, close to where the Face of Goronu is. It appears to house a small fishing settlement with two small huts, and has a small active volcano that continuously gushes lava. The region's volcanic activity makes the surrounding water rough, making the rocky coast a hostile place to live. It is nonetheless a suitable fishing spot however, as fishing lines string along the coast's walls and the two inhabitants, Anutu and the Fish Lady, work in fishing and butchering fish, respectively. A large tunnel also leads to a scorching cave with boiling magma inside, but has since been boarded up. A large, draconian skull also appears beside the entrance.

Since Ganon's take over of the island, Dairas and large Gohmas have since overrun the cove, who will attack Link as he enters from the coast. Falling Rocks released from the volcano also pose as a threat. A raised hut belonging to the Fish Lady stands close to the volcano, but is at first locked and prevents entry. At the far end of the coast is Anutu's house, where he keeps a giant Gohma he had caught, and erroneously calls it a crab. Link corrects him, and is given the Power Sword for his knowledge. A Key also sits below Anutu's house, which unlocks the door to the Fish Lady's hut. Inside the woman explains that she was the one responsible for boarding up the cave's entrance, as Fire Dairas emerged from its vent. She gives Link a hint that she had hid the Key inside the skull. By striking the skull with the sword, the Key is dropped.

Fire Dairas infest the tunnel in large numbers. Their sole weakness to ice requires that Link bring Snowballs to defeat them with. They drop Firestones as they are defeated. At the center of the cave is a pool of magma, which Link must jump over onto the stepping stones to safely cross. At the end of the tunnel is a Triforce Map, which returns Link to the world map screen. After the stage is completed, Spearfish Falls opens as a new stage.
