Death Mountain Crater

This is the volcanic center of Death Mountain. It can be accessed from the top of Death Mountain or through an ancient Goron pathway that leads from the chief's room. The heat of the crater is too intense to be in for very long unless one wears a Goron Tunic. Without this tunic, Link would only have a limited amount of time to stay in the crater, or else he would lose a heart and return to the entrance of the cavern. The amount of time Link can remain in the crater is dependent upon how many Heart Containers Link possesses.

It is the location of the Fire Temple and home to Volvagia. It also contains a Great Fairy fountain. The Crater can also be accessed by playing the Bolero of Fire, which teleports Link to the Triforce stand there. The Bolero of Fire is taught to Link by Shiek when he first enters the crater as an adult.
