Themes and Navigation
The dungeon features 40 floors and must be completed as Wolf Link, since Link cannot revert to his human form while in it. If Link clears the final floor with the Giant Wallet in his possession, he will obtain the Colossal Wallet, which can hold up to 9,999 Rupees. Otherwise he will gain the next Wallet upgrade before, moving the Colossal Wallet to Agitha.

The dungeon is split into three sections, one with five floors, the second with fifteen and the last one with twenty. After each section is a floor containing a Treasure Chest and the dungeon must be left and re-entered again in order to access the next section. Floors cannot be skipped, so the dungeon must be traversed through three times to get to the end the first time. The first section can be accessed after restoring light to the Faron Province, the second section after watching the Ganondorf's execution cutscene after Arbiter's Grounds and the third section after obtaining the Sol-infused Master Sword in Palace of Twilight. After completing the last floor of the dungeon, Link will obtain a wallet upgrade from a Great Fairy and a door in front of him opens revealing a giant statue based on the Wolf Link amiibo.

Upon completing a section of the Cave of Shadows, the game presents a score based on the amount of Hearts preserved, time taken, highest combo and amiibo used while traversing it on a previous attempt. The Wolf Link amiibo can be used to save data of the number of Hearts preserved from that last attempt, which can then be scanned again while inside the cave to replenish Link's health to that amount.
