==Features and Overview==

Death Mountain also has two distinctive landmarks. The first being [[Lost Hills]], a mountainous counterpart of the maze-like [[Lost Woods]]. Beyond this maze is the fifth Labyrinth, {{Term|TLoZ|Level 5|link}}, in the First Quest. The mountain also contains [[Spectacle Rock]], which houses [[Level-9]] and the location of [[Ganon]]. This Dungeon is a huge labyrinth found underneath the Mountain itself. It is the largest Dungeon in the game and is filled with lava pools and a large number of enemies such as [[Lanmola]] and [[Wizzrobe]]s. [[Princess Zelda]] is held captive deep inside until Link rescues her.

==={{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.

The ancient dragon [[Volvagia]] was, in essence, the spirit of the Mountain.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Residing within the Fire Temple in {{OoT|-}}, Volvagia was a wicked dragon defeated by Link; in essence, it was the spirit of Death Mountain. |book= E |publisher= |page= 22}}</ref>

==={{FS|-}}===

In {{FS}}, Death Mountain appears as one of the four initial stages. By clearing the stage and defeating the boss, the [[Links]] receive a Key from the [[Great Fairy]]. The key received depends on how many [[Rupee]]s were collected. The boss of Death Mountain is a flame monster called [[Gouen]], and the symbol is the [[Fire Element]].

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.

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]].

==={{BotW|-}}===

<!--Story-->The {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania|link}} walks along the side of Death Mountain, causing its eruptions to worsen.<ref>{{Cite|With {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} runnin' wild recently, Death Mountain's eruptions have gotten real bad.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> [[Bludo]] of the Gorons, along with [[Yunobo]]'s help, use [[Cannon]]s stationed at the mountain to drive away Vah Rudania, but it always returns.<ref>{{Cite|He uses it to protect himself when he fire him at {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}}. That's the only way we can chase that blasted beast away.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Bludo had also raised the Bridge of Eldin to prevent Vah Rudania from crossing over, thereby making the Bridge and Death Mountain inaccessible until Link progresses in the "{{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania (Quest)|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Main Quest|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|The problem is...good ol' Boss raised the {{Color|BotW Red|Bridge of Eldin}} to make sure that mean Divine Beast couldn't get over here.|Yunobo|BotW}}</ref> After Link defeats {{Term|BotW|Fireblight Ganon|link}} and frees Vah Rudania, the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast|link}} climbs to the [[Death Mountain Summit]], where it takes aim at {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle|link}}.

In the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}, Death Mountain is on the borders of the [[Desert of Mystery]].

While in the Desert of Mystery, Link is  guided by [[Sahasrahla]]'s telepathy to Death Mountain.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Link! Your priority should be finding the next pendant... Go to the Tower of Hera atop Death Mountain....|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 4}}</ref> Link arrives to the mountain and stumbles upon a portal, which activates itself and shows a vision of two people standing with his uncle.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Link... Link... We are here with our brother...in the world of darkness....|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 6}}</ref> Believing them to be his parents,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Uncle?! Are you my '''father''' and '''mother'''?! It '''can't''' be!!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 7}}</ref> Link reaches for [[Link's Mother|his mother's]] hand when she extends hers out to the him, but Link's hand turns into a claw when it passes the portal's boundary. Sahasrahla warns that the power of the [[Dark World]] turns the inhabitants into a reflection of their heart, and Link's hatred of Agahnim would turn him into a beast if he were to enter.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= You penetrated the gate to the Dark World... That wicked realm has the power to change your body to reflect your heart. The emotions now in your heart are negative and evil! You nearly became a '''beast'''! [...] Yes, Link, but you can never win with hatred alone... Even if you were victorious, darkness would consume you!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 7}}</ref> Shortly afterwards, Zelda appears to Link and explains that they are in a dream, for if two people dream the same thing, they will meet.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=We are in our dream... If two people dream the same thing, they will meet...|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 8}}</ref> After waking up from the dream, Link finds himself standing in front of the Tower of Hera, where he eventually retrieves the [[Pendant of Wisdom]] from [[Moldorm]].
