Scorching Climates are a recurring mechanic in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2] Scorching Climates go unnamed in Ocarina of Time.
Overview
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, the Death Mountain Crater, Fire Temple, and Fire Room are all located within or contain a Scorching Climate. When Link is in a Scorching Climate,a countdown timer will appear. The amount of time Link has is eight seconds for every Heart in his Life Gauge. If this timer expires, Link will instantly die, although he is able to be saved if he has a Fairy. Wearing the Goron Tunic allows Link to traverse Scorching Climates without taking damage.
Breath of the Wild
In Breath of the Wild, a Scorching Climate appears in the Eldin Canyon surrounding Death Mountain. It is the result of Divine Beast Vah Rudania's rampage, which has worsened the eruptions from Death Mountain.[3] When in a Scorching Climate, Link will catch on Fire and begin to take damage.[1] However, this can be avoided by wearing a piece of Fireproof Armor or drinking a Fireproof Elixir, which grant the Flame Guard Effect. While in a Scorching Climate, Link will make a face with one eye closed and teeth gnashing.
Several of the Death Mountain Markers along the Mountain Road track the intensity of Death Mountain's Scorching Climate. The Scorching Climate begins near Medingo Pool, only requiring one level of Flame Guard to traverse.[4] At the Abandoned North Mine and past the Bridge of Eldin, the Scorching Climate intensifies, requiring two levels of Flame Guard for protection.[5][6]
In a Scorching Climate, Roasted Food can be created by dropping their corresponding Materials onto the ground.[7] Weapons, Bows, and Shields that are made of wood will also burn when exposed to a Scorching Climate, eventually disintegrating into ash.[8]
Tears of the Kingdom
In Tears of the Kingdom, the Eldin Canyon has cooled down with the dormancy of Death Mountain and no longer has a Scorching Climate. However, the caves underneath the region do still have this climate, and require either a piece of Flame-Resistant Equipment or an Fireproof Elixir to navigate safely. Strangely, the pause menu does not display Link's face suffering the heat.
Additionally, parts of the Depths have a scorching climate too, such as the Death Mountain Depths and the lava filled areas underneath the Hot Springs in Hebra. Some places in the Eldin Depths require two levels of Flame Guard. Dinraal has a two-level scorching climate around him.
Trivia
- In Ocarina of Time, there is a glitch that causes the timer to not work at all if Link is at the lowest amount of health possible, which is one sixteenth of a Heart.[9]
