Ganon's Lair is a location in. It is the game's final stage and is unlocked after completing Serigon Caves.

Features and Overview
Ganon's Lair is the name of Ganon's Face of Evil, located in central Koridai. As with the other Faces of Evil, the mountain volcano is built in the resemblance of Ganon's likeness, with a fiery mouth and two large horns. It is heavily patrolled by his minions and where he has imprisoned Zelda. The interior is also filled with various hazards, such as pools of molten lava. Numerous skulls litter the inside of the mountain.

Link enters the area from the dry valley where the Hermit Flat is located. The area is initially guarded by invisible Sancromies, but are made visible by the light of the Lantern of Vision received from Gwonam. Zolas also live in the region's tar pits and emerge to attack Link. A small wall near the entrance blocks the path, but is destroyed with a Bomb. A Raft in the tar pit takes Link to the mouth of the Face of Ganon, where green ooze flows from a grate. The grate leads inside a great cavern, where a large pool of lava sits below. A moving red stone is used to cross the lava to the ledge. A chasm at the end must be jumped over to reach an opening above.

In the next tunnel, Link encounters Militron again and faces him in a rematch. Beyond him is a door leading into an armored room with Lowders and Flying Snakes. Link climbs the platforms to a metal doorway, which leads to a tall crypt with more flying enemies. Again Link must climb the shelves to an opening emitting purple light, which enters into Ganon's chamber. Here Link faces Ganon, and defeats him with the Book of Koridai. The Key to Zelda's prison cell is then dropped, which opens the door on the ledge. Link finds Zelda asleep on a bed, and wakes her by ringing the gong overhead.
