'''King Dodongo's''' gaming debut was in [[Ocarina of time]]. He is the second boss. You fight him in a room with a lava pit in the middle. And if he doesn't move, it will burn [[Link]] to a crisp, or squash him flat. All [[Link]] has to do is throw a [[bomb]] into its mouth while it is sucking in air. Then when it falls to the ground, give it a slash with your sword.

{{Term|OoT3D|King Dodongo}} is the second {{Term|OoT3D|Boss|link}} fought in {{OoT}}. It appears inside {{Term|OoT3D|Dodongo's Cavern|link}}, where it must be defeated for {{Term|OoT3D|Link|link}} to receive the {{Term|OoT3D|Spiritual Stone of Fire|link}} from {{Term|OoT3D|Darunia|link}}. It is a massive {{Term|OoT3D|Dodongo|link}} that will consume anything.<ref name="Navi"/> Though it was originally the protector of the {{Term|OoT3D|Dodongo's Cavern|display=Cavern}}, {{Term|OoT3D|Ganondorf|link}} drove it into a frenzy, making it hostile to intruders.<ref name="E 187">{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 187}}</ref>{{Note|{{Guide|OoT|Nintendo}} states that {{Term|OoT3D|King Dodongo}} blocked the {{Plural|OoT3D|Goron|link}} out of {{Term|OoT3D|Dodongo's Cavern}} when it appeared inside.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= The Gorons had been blocked from their favorite rockeries ever since King Dodongo appeared and moved into the cavern. Only when Link threw a bomb at the entrance to the cavern did hope reappear on the faces of the Gorons.|game= OoT |guide= Nintendo |page= 48}}</ref> This is contradicted by {{E}}, which states that {{Term|OoT3D|King Dodongo}} had been inside the {{Term|OoT3D|Dodongo's Cavern|display=Cavern}} as its guardian before {{Term|OoT3D|Ganondorf}}'s arrival.<ref name="E 187"/>}}
 
To ready an attack, King Dodongo inhales air and releases a blast of damaging flame if allowed to inhale completely.<ref name="E 187"/> During this time, Link can toss [[Bomb]]s, or a nearby [[Bomb Flower]], into its mouth. If successful, the bomb will explode inside, causing King Dodongo to collapse. King Dodongo is vulnerable to [[Sword]] attacks at this time, the [[Critical Point]] of the battle. If Link does not apply enough damage during the Critical Point, King Dodongo will rear up, curl into a ball, and roll around the arena.<ref name="E 187"/> If Link stands close to the lava, the external walls, or hides beneath or behind the [[Shield]], he can avoid damage. King Dodongo hits an arena wall at the end of its rampage; it unfolds and moves about until Link is close enough to target again, repeating the cycle.
 
When defeated, King Dodongo curls into a ball and rolls into the lava pit. The lava hardens, trapping King Dodongo, half-submerged. Link receives a [[Heart Container]] as a reward.
 
==Other Appearances==
==={{SSBB|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{SSBB}}, King Dodongo appears as a [[Sticker]].
{{SSBSticker|header=yes}}
{{#section:Sticker|King Dodongo}}
|}
{{Noncanon|End}}
 
==={{HW|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{HW}}, {{Plural|HWDE|King Dodongo}} appear as {{Plural|HWDE|Giant Boss|link}} that are encountered in several {{Term|HWDE|Legend Mode|link}} and {{Term|HWDE|Adventure Mode|link}} stages. In {{Term|HWDE|Legend Mode}}, {{Plural|HWDE|King Dodongo}} appear in the {{Plural|HWDE|Scenario|link}} "{{Term|HWDE|The Armies of Ruin|link}}", "{{Term|HWDE|The Water Temple|link}}", "{{Term|HWDE|Ganondorf's Return|link}}", "{{Term|HWDE|The Dragon of the Caves|link}}", and "{{Term|HWDE|The Other Hero|link}}". Not all {{Plural|HWDE|Scenario}} where they appear require the {{Plural|HWDE|Warrior|link}} to defeat them.
 
{{Plural|HWDE|King Dodongo}} differ from their previous incarnation as they bear golden scales, two red horns on both sides of their head, red claws, and red crystals running along their back and joints. In "{{Term|HWDE|The Water Temple}}" and "{{Term|HWDE|The Other Hero}}", {{Plural|HWDE|King Dodongo}} appear more closely resembling their {{OoT|-}} appearance. {{Term|HWDE|King Dodongo}} attack with a variety of moves, such as curling and rolling into a ball, stomping their claws, roaring loudly, breathing streams of flames, or by launching {{Plural|HWDE|Fireball|link}} after inhaling deeply. These attacks also harm nearby {{Plural|HWDE|Enemy|link}}. Because of their immense size, they take minimal damage from most attacks. They become vulnerable when {{Plural|HWDE|Bomb|link}} are thrown down their throats as they suck in air, which stuns them and exposes their {{Term|HWDE|Weak Point Gauge|link}}.
 
{{Plural|HWDE|King Dodongo}} may drop their {{Plural|HWDE|King Dodongo's Claws|link|display=Claws}} as {{Plural|HWDE|Silver Material|link}} or one of their {{Plural|HWDE|King Dodongo's Crystal|link|display=Crystals}} as a gold Material when defeated.
{{Noncanon|End}}
 
==Trivia==
*In {{OoT}}, {{Term|OoT3D|King Dodongo}} and {{Term|OoT3D|Volvagia|link}} share a battle theme that is different from the one that plays for all other {{Plural|OoT3D|Boss|link}}.
*{{Term|OoT3D|King Dodongo}} has the lowest amount of health in {{OoT|-}}. It can be defeated with two {{Plural|OoT3D|Jump Attack|link}} while using {{Plural|OoT3D|Deku Stick|link}}.{{Fact|OoT3D}}<!--The previous reference here linked to a YouTube video (https://youtu.be/ZAUkdQtUtpw) that is no longer available.-->
*{{Term|SSHD|Scaldera|link}}, a {{Term|SSHD|Boss}} from {{SS}}, almost perfectly parallels with {{Term|Series|King Dodongo}} from {{OoT|-}}. Both serve as the second {{Term|Series|Boss}} of their game, both are a large, four-legged beast, both can curl up into a ball and roll around in order to move faster, and both live in a {{Term|OoT3D|Death Mountain|link|display=volcano}} or {{Term|SSHD|Eldin (Region)|link|display=fiery area}} and are commonly associated with {{Term|Series|Fire|link}}. Furthermore, both {{Plural|Series|Boss}} are defeated by {{Term|Series|Link|link}} by throwing a {{Term|Series|Bomb|link}} into the mouth of the {{Term|Series|Boss}} as it sucks up air to prepare an attack, allowing {{Term|Series|Link}} to attack it while it is stunned.
