==Features and Overview==

In {{TLoZ}}, Death Mountain is the northern region of [[Hyrule]]. It is a large sprawling expanse of rock covering the northern border of the map. The mountain range is usually home to some of the stronger enemies, such as [[Lynel]]s, who are said to be the guardians of the Mountain. Occasionally, [[Boulder]]s will fall from the hills. The Mountain also has a few streams and ponds that are home to [[Zora (Enemy)|Zora]]s.

==={{TAoL|-}}===

In {{TAoL}}, Death Mountain can be found south of [[Western Hyrule]]. This area, located south of the [[Water Town of Saria]], is comprised of many different tunnels that house many enemies, such as [[Daira]]s, several of which lead to dead ends if the wrong paths are taken. A few tunnels also have pools of lava, usually with a bridge suspended above them. Only a few paths lead to the southern region of Hyrule, where [[Link]] can find the [[Hammer]] hidden in a cave beneath Spectacle Rock.

In {{TP}}, Death Mountain is also home to the Goron tribe. Due to its volcanic nature, the mountain also boasts steam jets and mineral-rich [[Hot Spring]]s. Death Mountain experiences frequent eruptions early in the game due to events related to the [[Twilight]].

When Link first tries to climb up Death Mountain, the Gorons attack him on sight due to an order from the Goron Elder, [[Gor Coron]].<ref>{{Cite|These lands ahead belong to the Goron tribe! The elder said no humans may pass!|Goron|TP}}</ref> To successfully ascend the mountain, Link must use the [[Iron Boots]] to avoid being knocked down by the Gorons' roll attack and thus be able to stop them in their tracks. Link eventually reaches the main area of Death Mountain, where a giant rock from the mountain's volcano falls. After successfully evading the Gorons and using them to launch himself higher up the mountain, Link enters the Gorons' home. There, he is informed by Gor Coron that he will not allow him to enter the [[Goron Mines]], which are sacred to the Gorons, unless he beats him in a match of [[sumo]].<ref>{{Cite|The mines beyond here are sacred to my tribe. Outsiders are not allowed. Unless... I could make an exception...but you would have to beat me in a contest of power. Are you willing to try that, little human?|Gor Coron|TP}}</ref> Successfully defeating the Goron Elder allows Link to enter the mines and obtain the second [[Fused Shadow]], saving [[Darbus]] and obtaining the Gorons' respect along the way.

==={{ALBW|-}}===

Lorule has its own Death Mountain that is not an active volcano. It is covered in snow, thus many of the enemies adapted ice-themed powers. The cave system of Lorule's Death Mountain contains similar jumping puzzles in the eastern section. This version is split in half, with one half containing the [[Treacherous Tower]], and the other half containing the [[Ice Ruins]].

<!--Gameplay-->Death Mountain has a higher temperature than the rest of Eldin, requiring Link to possess two levels of [[Flame Guard]] in order to explore the Mountain without being lit aflame and taking damage. Link can acquire enough Flame Guard either by wearing at least two pieces of [[Flamebreaker Armor]] or wearing one piece and using a [[Fireproof Elixir]].

==Other Appearances==

==={{AST|-}}===

==={{LCT|-}}===

In {{LCT}}, Death Mountain appears in [[Link's Crossbow Training#Stage 2|Stage 2]] as the Goron Target Practice. The central area of the Goron's lair is the first two screens of the stage. There, Gorons stand in various formations, roll in place, then spring up with either regular, gold, or false targets. The screen changes every 20 seconds, all with different formations of Gorons.

==Trivia==

*In {{FPTRR}}, a mountain called [[Mount Desma]] might be a reference to Death Mountain, as it is written that Mount Desma is "the Mountain of Death" in one of the [[Yamatami]] tribe's ancient books. Comparison of the Japanese names further suggests this. "Yama" is the Japanese word for "mountain," whereas "Desuma" differs only one Japanese letter from "Desu," or death.

==Nomenclature==

In the Japanese version of {{ALttP|-}} and {{ALBW|-}}, the mountain is only named Death Mountain in the Dark World. In the Light World, it is known as {{Romanize|ヘブラ山|Hebura Yama|Mount Hebra|2}}.
