The {{Term|OoS|Dungeon|link}} is located in the {{Term|OoS|Tarm Ruins|link}} and holds the {{Term|OoS|Blowing Wind|link}}, the sixth {{Term|OoS|Essence of Nature|link}}. After retrieving the {{Term|OoS|Nurturing Warmth|link}} from the {{Term|OoS|Unicorn's Cave|link}}, {{Term|OoS|Link|link}} receives a telepathic message from the {{Term|OoS|Maku Tree|link}}, who will direct him towards the {{Term|OoS|Tarm Ruins}} in the search of the next {{Term|OoS|Essence of Nature}}.<ref>{{Cite|Nurturing Warmth has brought me strength! I saw a dream of Link inside vast ruins. Perhaps an essence is hidden in some.|Maku Tree|OoS}}</ref> If in a {{Term|OoS|Linked Game|link}}, shortly after, a cutscene shows {{Term|OoS|Twinrova|link}} within the {{Term|OoS|Room of Rites|link}}. As the resurrection of {{Term|OoS|Ganon|link}} draws near, the {{Term|OoS|Flame of Destruction|link}} is lit by the chaos and destruction reverberating from {{Term|OoS|Holodrum|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Eee hee hee hee! Despair, Link... Your struggles are fruitless! Decay, seasons! Steal the fruits of the ravaged lands of Holodrum... Raze the earth! Oh ho ho ho! The lands rot, and the Flame of Destruction burns!|Twinrova|OoS}}</ref> At this point, only the {{Term|OoS|Flame of Despair|link}} remains unlit. This turn of events inspires a new sense of urgency to collect the remaining {{Plural|OoS|Essences of Nature}}.

The entrance to the {{Term|OoS|Ancient Ruins}} is found atop {{Term|OoS|Tarm Ruins}}, at the north-easternmost peak. The {{Term|OoS|Dungeon}} itself is a tall tower, and is the highest point in all of {{Term|OoS|Holodrum}}. In order to unlock the gate barring {{Term|OoS|Link}} from the {{Term|OoS|Ancient Ruins}}, he must gather the four {{Plural|OoS|Jewel|link}} scattered across {{Term|OoS|Holodrum}}. Navigating the {{Term|OoS|Tarm Ruins}} requires extensive use of the {{Term|OoS|Rod of Seasons|link}}.

The {{Term|OoS|Ancient Ruins}} are five stories high, the most of any {{Term|OoS|Dungeon}} in {{Term|OoS|Holodrum}}. They feature sand-colored floors and walls, giving it the feel of an ancient Egyptian crypt. There are many sections of flooring throughout the {{Term|OoS|Dungeon}} that crumbles under {{Term|OoS|Link}}'s weight, causing him to plummet to his death if he stands in one spot for too long.

There are many bombable walls throughout the {{Term|OoS|Dungeon}}. One of these walls leads to an unmarked room on the map where a total of 100 {{Plural|OoS|Rupee|link}} are strewn across the floor. Progressing through the {{Term|OoS|Dungeon}} requires extensive use of the {{Term|OoS|Roc's Feather|link}}, {{Plural|OoS|Magnetic Glove|link}}, and the {{Term|OoS|Magical Boomerang|link}}. The {{Term|OoS|Mini-Boss|link}} of the {{Term|OoS|Dungeon}} is {{Term|OoS|Vire|link}}, {{Term|OoS|General Onox|link}}'s loyal henchman. Using the {{Term|OoS|Boss Key|link}} found within the {{Term|OoS|Dungeon}}, {{Term|OoS|Link}} faces {{Term|OoS|Manhandla|link}} on the top floor of the {{Term|OoS|Dungeon}}. After defeating {{Term|OoS|Manhandla}} and obtaining the {{Term|OoS|Heart Container|link}}, a staircase to the very top of the tower appears. It is here, at the highest point in all of {{Term|OoS|Holodrum}}, that {{Term|OoS|Link}} obtains his sixth {{Term|OoS|Essence of Nature|link}}.
