Cave of Ordeals

The Cave of Ordeals is a long and arduous optional dungeon, located in the South-Western(or S-Eastern in the Wii version) corner of the Gerudo Desert, below the centre piece of the Bridge of Eldin.

It can be accessed any time after restoring the Bridge of Eldin, unblocking the entrance. However, to make it into the deeper floors you will need to have progressed further through the game.

Within the cave, Link has to fight his way through hordes of enemies, some of which may not yet be known to him.

After every ten floors and at the end of the cave, there is a fountain in which the Great Fairy appears.
