Temple of Droplets

The Temple of Droplets is the fourth dungeon in The Minish Cap. It is a Minish-size temple in the middle of Lake Hylia. The exterior of the temple itself resembles a Minish portal, which Link will fall into upon shrinking down.

The Temple of Droplets can be accessed by using the Zora's Flippers. The temple is largely frozen over, with certain items encased in ice blocks and many floors slick with ice. The temple has many skylights that can be opened to let in sunbeams which are used to melt some of the ice. Enemies encountered in the temple include Mulldozers, Pestos and Sluggulas. Oddly enough, the B1 and B2 floors both resemble pots on the map.

Its boss is an ordinary sized Octorok, but it looks like a Big Octorok from Minish size. Link first encounters this boss frozen solid early in the temple, but fully unlocking a skylight will defrost it, along with the nearby frozen Water Element. The Temple of Droplets has three Mini-Bosses: a Madderpillar on ice, a Big Blue Chuchu and a pair of Madderpillars in the dark. The dungeon reward is the Flame Lantern, which is obtained after beating the Big Blue Chuchu mini-boss. Beating the Big Octorok allows Link to recover the Water Element, which it swallowed.
