Snowpeak Ruins

Located in the Peak Province from Twilight Princess, the Snowpeak Ruins is a decrepit mansion, home to a Yeti couple. Yeto lives here with his wife Yeta, but they only inhabit the front rooms and the bedroom. The vacant back rooms become home to the host of monsters that invaded the mansion after the second Mirror Shard came to rest there. The temple has three floors, with the predominant theme being ice. It is the fifth dungeon in the game.

The goal of the temple is to reach the Bedroom on the third floor, which contains a piece of the Mirror of Twilight found by Yeto and given to his wife Yeta. The item obtained in the temple is the Ball and Chain after defeating the mini boss, Darkhammer.

The ruins are explored in stages, as Yeta attempts to direct Link to the correct location of the Bedroom Key. Due to her current condition, her memory is poor, and she unintentionally misleads Link to find first the Ordon Pumpkin, then the Ordon Goat Cheese. These two items are used by Yeto to transform his Reekfish broth first into the Good Soup then into the Superb Soup.

Many areas of the dungeon are clogged by large blocks of ice, which can only be broken using one of the cannons found within the dungeon (and subsequently the Ball and Chain). The main enemies encountered within Snowpeak Ruins are Freezards, Mini Freezards, Chilfos, White Wolfos and Ice Keese.

Link's Crossbow Training
The Snowpeak Ruins appears as a Ranger Mode scenario in Stage 6 of Link's Crossbow Training. Link can freely navigate a few rooms and the courtyard of the mansion. Chilfos and Ice Keese are the only enemies in the area.The majority of the chilfos are lined up on high ledges. Upon seeing Link, they will throw their impaling staffs towards him. An unarmed Chilfos can be destroyed in a single shot, but those holding their staffs can block 4 shots; alternatively a bomb arrow can destroy even neighboring enemies. The courtyard is divided by large blocks of ice, which can be eliminated using a charged shot from the crossbow.

Trivia

 * Inside the ruins are many pictures similar to those from the ones in the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time. In one room there is a painting that looks similar to George Washington, along with other paintings that resemble the Poe Sisters from Ocarina of Time.
 * Inside the ruins there is a chapel that has no mention of the Triforce, Din, Nayru or Farore.
 * With the exception of Blizetta's room, there are no hearts contained in the pots, and the enemies give no hearts as well. Some think this is because Yeto and Yeta's love needs to be rekindled. The reason may also be that players regularly return to the kitchen where they can have as much healing soup as they want.
 * This is the only dungeon where the Boss Key does not exist, as it was replaced by the Bedroom Key. In fact, in a possible homage to the Thieves' Town dungeon from A Link to the Past, the boss is not originally located in the battle arena; instead, Yeta becomes the boss.
