==Overview==

==={{OoT|-}}===

The Ice Cavern is a frozen cave behind [[Zora's Fountain]]. After his seven year sleep, [[Link]] finds [[Zora's Domain]] frozen and the [[Zora]]s encased in ice. [[King Zora]] is encased in a mysterious [[Red Ice]], as is the entrance to the [[Zora's Shop]]. [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]] is missing from the fountain and is replaced with a path of [[Ice#Ice Floes|ice floes]] leading to a previously inaccessible cavern, the Ice Cavern.

With the [[Gerudo's Training Ground]], the Ice Cavern is the smallest dungeon in the entire game: it only has one floor and, unique among all the other dungeons in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, each room (with the exception of the individual mini-boss room) is connected by hallways instead of doors, giving the illusion of one extremely large room divided into rooms and hallways. It is [[ice]]-themed, and inside Link finds [[Blue Fire]], an unnaturally occurring fire only found within the cavern and the Water Barrier in [[Ganon's Castle]] (although it can also be bought in the [[Medicine Shop]] for an exceptionally high price). Blue Fire melts Red Ice, and as such, Link uses [[Bottle]]s to carry the fire and melt the Red Ice that is found throughout the cavern to unblock certain paths and rooms.

In {{MQ}}, many of the elements of this dungeon have been removed or replaced. The spinning scythe is gone, and there are very few [[Freezard]]s and [[Ice Keese]]. Instead of the ice block puzzle, the [[Song of Time]] can be played to make a block appear, which gives access to the [[Blue Fire]]. Some [[Switch]]es need to be activated to make some platforms disappear. However, they are very well hidden. One switch is camouflaged between some diamonds, another is behind a stalactite and the last one's tip is protruding from the floor. Because there is [[Red Ice]] blocking several ways, the first time Blue Fire is seen is where the [[Piece of Heart]] originally was (it has been moved to the other room with Blue Fire). New features include [[Boulder]]s rolling in connecting rooms and two [[White Wolfos]] throughout the dungeon. The mini-boss is now a [[Stalfos]].
