==Trivia==
*Inside Jabu Jabu's Belly may have been inspired by the dungeon [[Catfish's Maw]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. Both lie in an enclosed body of water and involve entering the mouth of a giant fish (though the "catfish" is not actually real).
*A remixed version of the dungeon's theme was used in {{TWW}} as [[Jabun]]'s theme.
*Inside Jabu Jabu's Belly is the first dungeon in ''Ocarina of Time'' to have a unique dungeon theme, as the themes pertaining to the [[Inside the Deku Tree|Deku Tree]] and [[Dodongo's Cavern]] are both used elsewhere (i.e. in secret, underground [[cave]]s, as well as in the [[Royal Tomb]], respectively).
*[[Link]] cannot get the [[Spiritual_Stones#Zora.27s_Sapphire|Zora's Sapphire]] on his own from the room where he fights [[Big Octo]]. He must throw Ruto into the circle to get it.
*In the first room after fighting the [[Big Octo]], there is a ramp to the right. If the player changes the camera angle so that it goes through the wall for a few seconds, a [[Hookshot]] target can be seen.
*This is the only dungeon in the game where Link is accompanied by another character ([[Princess Ruto]]) when he is warping to the dungeon's exit after defeating a boss. Interestingly, it's unknown how she arrived there, since she was taken to the '''second''' floor after taking the sacred Sapphire, and the boss's arena is in the '''first''' floor.
*The music that plays in this dungeon is remixed in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and is heard when Link first meets [[Jabun]].
*In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D|Ocarina of Time 3D]]'', Jabu-Jabu can be accessed as an adult using a simple glitch. Link must approach the ice slope that replaces Jabu-Jabu and walk along its left edge. The [[Hover Boots]] can guarantee this. If done correctly, Link will walk into Jabu-Jabu's Belly.

This article refers to the Ocarina of Time dungeon. For the Oracle of Ages dungeon, see Jabu-Jabu's Belly.

Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly,[1] also known as Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly,[2] is the third Dungeon in Ocarina of Time.

Entrance to the Belly

The dungeon is set inside the body of Lord Jabu-Jabu, who spends every day on Zora's Fountain. To enter, Link must drop a Fish from his Bottle in front of Jabu-Jabu, causing him to open his mouth and suck both the fish and Link inside. His mission here, while he is looking for the third Spiritual Stone, the Zora's Sapphire, is to rescue Princess Ruto.[3]

Themes and Navigation

While inside, Link must initially avoid the vast variety of parasitic enemies, including an especially large tentacle-like organism with electrified appendages in the shape of unstable pillars and jellyfish-like creatures called Bari,[4] since they become much harder to kill without the Boomerang, the weapon found inside the dungeon. Shortly thereafter, Link locates Princess Ruto inside what appears to be the stomach, who initially refuses to accept any help from Link,[5] and accidentally falls into a Yuck Hole.[6] Once found again by the young hero, she commands him to help her recover the Sapphire. Link must carry Ruto throughout many rooms to help her find it.[7] These rooms include areas where Link must fight numerous tentacles with the help of the Boomerang, so that new areas can be explored. He eventually enters a large room that has a central platform with the Zora's Sapphire on it.[8]

After taking the Zora's Sapphire, Ruto is captured, and Link is ambushed by a Big Octo that must be defeated in order to continue.[9] After defeating it, Link continues until he locates the creature causing Jabu-Jabu's discomfort: a parasite called Barinade, the dungeon's boss. Link eventually defeats Barinade, rescues Princess Ruto, and receives the Zora's Sapphire as a reward.[10]

The dungeon has many strange changes in the Master Quest version of the game. Instead of uvula-like switches on the ceilings of Jabu Jabu's intestinal tract, there are now cow head switches attached to walls that operate the opening of doors. As for enemies, Lizalfos and Like Likes were added to several rooms, the Parasitic Tentacles were dispersed evenly and in larger quantities throughout Jabu-Jabu's insides, and invisible Keese were supplied to one room that includes an extra Gold Skulltula. Only three Tailpasarans appear in an optional room with a Gold Skulltula, and Business Scrubs were deleted from the Master Quest version. In terms of items, the Dungeon Map, Compass, and Boomerang can be obtained much earlier; the room that contained the Boomerang in the original version now contains the Compass, and vice versa. Other changes include the placement of a grown cow in a room, the addition of a water pillar in the room below the Yuck Holes, and the presence of Bombchus, which are used to complete various new puzzles throughout the dungeon. Princess Ruto is utilized much less as a gameplay mechanic, as she is only required to hit one switch.
