Tail Cave

The is the first LA: in.

Entrance to the Tail Cave
The entrance to the LA: is located south of LA: and north of LA:. In order to open the gate and enter the LA:, LA: needs to insert the LA: found in the LA: into the LA: which is located in the central LA: statue in front of the LA:. Doing so will cause the bars blocking the entrance to rise up, allowing entry.

Themes and Navigation
The LA: appears to be carved into a cave of pink-colored stone with a floor made up of blue and grey stone. Like other NaN Dungeons in, LA: is shaped in accordance to its name, resembling LA:. It contains 25 different screens and four underground ones which can be accessed by using staircases. Among those rooms, one of them is dedicated to defeating NaN Three-of-a-Kinds, while another one holds a NaN Secret Seashells but must first be blasted open using a LA:.

Deep within LA:, LA: comes across LA:, a Guardian that attacks with a spiked log that spans the length of the chamber, hoping to crush Link. Making good use of the Roc's Feather found in the Cave, Link is able to jump over the trap and slash Rolling Bones with his Sword. With the defeat of Rolling Bones, Link opens the way to the Cave's Nightmare guarding the Full Moon Cello, Moldorm.

To defeat Moldorm, Link must strike the tip of its tail several times, each strike causing the beast to increase its pace. Moldorm can knock Link off into a basement where several corpses are hung from chains in the background. Upon Link's triumph over the beast, it disintegrates into nothingness, opening the way to the Cave's final chamber which holds the Full Moon Cello.

Trivia

Nomenclature
