Sunken City is a secluded town located in northeastern [[Holodrum]], just south of [[Mt. Cucco]] and the northern peaks of Holodrum. As its name suggests, the city is entirely flooded, stranding its citizens, most of which are unable to swim.<ref>{{Cite|The whole city's flooded, but since I can't swim, I'm just here blowing bubbles.|N/A|OoS}}</ref> The city is only seen as such in the entire game. The flooding is said to have been caused by the [[snow]] from Mt. Cucco to the north melting in large quantities due to the erratic changing of the seasons.<ref>{{Cite|With the seasons out of order, the mountain snows melted suddenly, flooding town. I can't even leave the house! It's terrible!|N/A|OoS}}</ref> The snowmelt gushes down into the city in two waterfalls from caverns at the base of Mt. Cucco. To reach the Sunken City, Link must pass by the [[Moblin's Keep]] and through the {{Term|OoS|Sunken City Gate|link}}, although he can [[Warping|warp]] to the city thanks to the [[Mystical Tree|Gale Tree]] located there (actually the first Gale Tree Link encounters in the game).  

If Link has not already met [[Dimitri]] (having instead obtained either [[Moosh]] or [[Ricky]]'s [[Strange Flute|flute]]), Sunken City is where [[Link]] meets him for the first time. Link will find Dimitri being harassed by three mischievous children of the city, the self-proclaimed {{Term|OoS|Safety Patrol|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|We're the city's Safety Patrol!|N/A|OoS}}</ref> Link can disperse the children by giving their leader all his [[Bomb]]s. As thanks for saving him, Dimitri lets Link ride on him. Using Dimitri's abilities, Link can swim up the waterfalls north of the village into the caverns beneath Mt. Cucco.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= Once you disperse a group of bullies who are tormenting [Dimitri], he'll let you ride him around the waterways of Sunken City. He can take you up waterfalls so you can enter the two caves on the side of the cliff.|game= OoS|guide= Nintendo|page= 29}}</ref> If Link has already met Dimitri and obtained his flute, the event with the Safety Patrol will not occur.

The waterfall to the east leads to a cavern where the [[Master Diver]] resides. The other contains a [[Treasure Chest]] which holds the [[Master's Plaque]], which can be traded to the Master Diver for the [[Flippers]].<ref>{{Cite|Ohh!!! That's my Master's Plaque! You've passed my test! Very well, then! I accept you as my pupil! Take these Flippers!|Master Diver|OoS}}</ref> To reach the Treasure Chest, Link must solve a puzzle which consists of pushing four [[block]]s into a position where they can all be hit simultaneously with the [[Spin Attack]].  

With the Flippers, Link can dive into the secret underwater caverns of the city. The one to the south is drops into a cavern of underground waterfalls, called '''Sunken Falls''',<ref>{{Cite|-Sunken Falls- Headwaters in Sunken City|Sign|OoS}}</ref> where, in a [[Linked Game]], Link meets [[Vire]], [[General Onox]]'s henchman (hidden in a [[Treasure Chest]]), and obtains the [[Pyramid Jewel]]. This cave opens into the [[Woods of Winter]]. Another underwater cave to the northwest of the village is a secret passageway to [[Mt. Cucco]].<ref>{{Cite|I'll teach you my secret route to Mt. Cucco! There's a diving hole among the reefs in town. Use the Flippers I gave you.|Master Diver|OoS}}</ref>

{{Term|OoS|Ingo's House|link}} is located in the northwestern corner of the city. In the {{Term|OoS|Trading Quest|link}}, Link trades him the [[Goron Vase]] for [[Fish]].

After defeating the [[Great Moblin]] and destroying his keep just west from the city, Link may find a discouraged Great Moblin and his [[Moblin|minion]]s hiding in an abandoned house in the southeast corner of the city while they try to rebuild their lair bomb by bomb.<ref>{{Cite|Bwee... How many more Bombs will it take to rebuild our lair? After what just happened, I've lost all hope.|Great Moblin|OoS}}</ref> Link can destroy the house by igniting the pile of bombs in the house with another [[bomb]] or an [[Ember Seed]]. The Moblins will flee, but will return and rebuild the house (albeit in a much shabbier state), and will begin to make bombs once again. Link can blow up this house a second time, but if he attempts to do so a third time, the Moblins stop him and throw him into the house as it explodes, killing him.<ref>{{Cite|Bwee-hee! So it was you! You'll pay!!! An eye for an eye!|Great Moblin|OoS}}</ref>
