Death Mountain appears in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'' as one of the four initial stages. By clearing the stage and defeating the boss, the Links received a key from a [[Great Fairy]]. The key received depends on how many Rupees were collected. | |||

Due to its volcanic nature, the mountain also boasts a number of geological curiosities, like powerful steam jets, and even mineral-rich [[Hot Spring]]s. While the mountain is not quite as active as it was during child Link's climb in ''Ocarina of Time'', Death Mountain experiences frequent eruptions early on in the game due to events related to the [[Twilight]]. | ||
Sticking to the Gorons' reputation as skilled metal smiths, metal structures have be erected around the face of the mountain to provide access to areas which are otherwise unreachable, and the Gorons themselves can give each other (and Link) a leg-up unscalable surfaces. The Gorons also have a [[Goron Mines|mine]] inside the volcanic interior of the mountain, where materials are mined and transported with the assistance of impressive magnetic cranes. The mine is also home to a number of familiar monsters, like [[Torch Slug]]s and [[Dodongo]]s. | Sticking to the Gorons' reputation as skilled metal smiths, metal structures have be erected around the face of the mountain to provide access to areas which are otherwise unreachable, and the Gorons themselves can give each other (and Link) a leg-up unscalable surfaces.

When Link first tries to climb up Death Mountain, the Gorons will attack him upon sight due to an order from the [[Gor Coron|Goron Elder]].<ref>{{cite|These lands ahead belong to the Goron tribe! The elder said no humans may pass!|Goron|Twilight Princess}}</ref> To be able to successfully get through the mountain, the young hero must use the [[Iron Boots]] to not get knocked down by the Gorons' roll attack and thus be able to stop them on their tracks. Link will eventually reach the main area of Death Mountain but will be greeted by a giant, falling rock from the mountain's volcano. After successfully evading the Gorons and using them to launch himself higher up into the mountains, the young hero enters the Gorons' dwelling, where he is informed by Gor Coron that he will not allow Link 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|Twilight Princess}}</ref> Successfully defeating the Goron Elder will allow Link to enter the mines and obtain the second [[Fused Shadow]], saving [[Darbus]] and obtaining the Gorons' respect along the way. | |||

Death Mountain appears in [[Link%27s_Crossbow_Training#Stage_2|Stage 2]] of ''[[Link's Crossbow Training]]'' as the '''Goron Target Practice'''. The central area of the Goron's lair is the first two screens of the stage. Gorons will 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. | |||

In ''[[Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland]]'', a mountain called [[Mount Desma]] (デスマヤマ Desuma Yama) appears. This might be just a new name for Death Mountain, as in one of the [[Yamatami]] tribe's ancient books is written that Mount Desma is "the Mountain of Death". Comparision of the Japanese names further suggests this. "Yama" is the Japanese word for "mountain", whereas "Desuma" differs only one Japanese letter from "Desu". | In ''[[Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland]]'', a mountain called [[Mount Desma]] (デスマヤマ Desuma Yama) appears.
