Death Mountain



Death mountain is a tall, firey mountain located in Hyrule, and featured in several Zelda games. The passage to this place starts at a gate in Kakariko Village. Anyone wishing to travel it will need the Royal Family's permission to get past the guard that is standing there. In Ocarina of Time, this mountain is home to the Gorons, a peaceful race of people who eat rocks and are exceptionally good at forging blades. Death Mountain is also home to the Fire Temple, where Link fights Volvagia, a ferocious dragon, and Dodongo's Cavern, where Link faces the giant King Dodongo. On top of this menacing mass of red earth lives a Great Fairy who bestows Link with magical power in OoT, and inside the mountain there is yet another fairy who grants Link a magical upgrade. Death Mountain is home to many a Tektite.

In Four Swords Adventures
Death Mountain is also the third level in Four Swords Adventures. It consists of three stages: Death Mountain Foothills, The Mountain Path, and Tower of Flames.

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The path leading up the mountain has manny steam jets that will knock you over if you don't have the Iron Boots. The mountain also has a hot spring that can restore hearts by just touching the water or drinking it from a bottle before it cools. The Gorons are here again, but instead of bomb- and sword- making rock people, they are sumo-wrestling rock people who seemingly don't require oxygen to survive. The entrance to the Goron Mines is located on Death Mountain, as well as a hot spring and a shop.
