Lava

is a recurring Series: in.

Location and Uses
Lava is molten rock that is usually in the form of thick, fiery liquid that ranges from red, orange to yellow. In most Zelda games, it will cause Link to lose health if he falls in, and it will sometimes force him to start the room over in a few 3D games. In some games such as, Link is able to walk on lava and will be constantly taking damage; however, wearing the Goron Tunic will significantly reduce the amount of damage taken. The same also applies to, but whether Link is able to walk on lava and whether he takes damage by doing so varies depending on the form he is in. Link as a Hylian boy is able to walk on lava while constantly taking damage. Deku Link and Zora Link will restart a room if they fall into lava, whereas Goron Link is completely immune to lava.

Lava also appears in some dungeons as red tiles in, but like water, it cannot be walked on and is thus harmless. The Stepladder, however, can be used to walk over water and lava. In, falling into lava will automatically count as a death and will take away one of Link's lives.
