is the eighth and last of the main NaN Dungeons in, and the location of the LADX:. The entrance to the LADX: is located in a cave at the far west of LADX:. The mini-boss of this LADX: is LADX:; in addition to this new mini-boss, numerous mini-bosses from previous NaN Dungeons reappear. The main item of the LADX: is the LADX:, and the LADX: is LADX:.

Entrance to the Rock
To reach the LADX:, LADX: has to travel through several caves from the center of LADX:. He eventually encounters a LADX:, preventing him from going any further. However, by using the LADX:, obtained in LADX:, LADX: manages to get past the fireballs unharmed. Upon reaching LADX:'s entrance, he finds that its entrance is a cave guarded by two NaN Dactos and LADX: itself, dormant. By playing the LADX:, the stone head springs to life and starts attacking LADX:. Defeating LADX: opens the entrance to the LADX:.

Themes and Navigation
The LADX: appears to be a volcano, as there are many lava pits scattered throughout it. The walls are red and the floors are yellow. There are two rooms which connect to the peak of the western LADX:, and exiting and reentering the LADX: is necessary to proceed. A recurring puzzle in this LADX: involves the use of flashing blocks which create land when pushed over holes or lava. In some rooms, it is only necessary to create a path, while in others, covering all of the holes makes a LADX: appear.

This LADX: is notable for the fact that it features many previously encountered mini-bosses as enemies, many which have to be defeated for a LADX: or to move on. These include LADX:, LADX:, NaN Dodongo Snakes, and LADX:. These mini-bosses effectively act like normal enemies, as they will reappear at a later time. LADX:, another previous mini-boss also appears but does not reappear upon its defeat unlike the others. However, the true mini-boss of this LADX: is LADX:, a creature which uses its boxing gloves to hurt LADX: and send him to the entrance of the LADX:.

Some passageways defy the predominant fire theme of the LADX:, as they are frozen and have ice blocks. The main tool of this LADX: is the LADX:, which is necessary to burn away the ice blocks and to defeat the LADX:'s LADX:, LADX:, a giant fireball that lives in a pool of lava.

When viewed on the LADX:, the LADX: is in the shape of a turtle, which fits the appearance of the exterior of this LADX:.

Trivia

 * It is possible to bypass the LADX: and access the LADX: without the LADX:. LADX: may run headfirst into the flames after being given LADX:'s LADX:, which gives him a long enough respite to cross the flames while the LADX: revives his LADX:.

Nomenclature
This LADX:'s name is a reference that the outside mountain walls has two feet and a head, giving it the impression of a turtle.
