{{Term/Store|Dragon Roost Cavern||Series, TWW, TWWHD}} is the second {{Term|TWWHD|Dungeon|link}} in {{TWW}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 152}}</ref>

Located on {{Term|TWWHD|Dragon Roost Island|link}}, the {{Term|TWWHD|Dragon Roost Cavern}} is a volcanic cavern that is traversed regularly by children of the {{Term|TWWHD|Rito|link}} tribe in order to meet with the Sky Spirit, {{Term|TWWHD|Valoo|link}}, and obtain one of his scales, which allow them to grow their wings once they are of age. {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} first learns of the cavern from {{Term|TWWHD|Medli|link}}, a Rito and Valoo's attendant. {{Term|TWWHD|Valoo}} grew unexpectingly enraged, which prevented the {{Term|TWWHD|Rito}} children from receiving their scales to grow their wings. In light of the dragon's recent outbursts, {{Term|TWWHD|Medli}} requests {{Term|TWWHD|Link}}'s help in reaching the {{Term|TWWHD|Dragon Roost Cavern}}'s entrance on a high ledge, so that she can journey to the peak in order to appease {{Term|TWWHD|Valoo}}.<ref>{{Cite|I want to go to the small shrine that's near the peak of Dragon Roost, but that ledge over there is so high...|Medli|TWW}}</ref> After tossing her up to the ledge, {{Term|TWWHD|Medli}} gives {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} a {{Term|TWWHD|Empty Bottle|link}} which he must use to revitalize a cluster of withered {{Plural|TWWHD|Bomb Flower|link}} in the area. These can then be used to destroy the boulder plugging the spring, filling the pond and allowing {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} to swim across to the entrance. The final obstacle {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} must overcome before proceeding into the {{Term|TWWHD|Dragon Roost Cavern}} is a small pool of lava, which {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} cannot jump across. He must use nearby {{Plural|TWWHD|Bomb Flower}} to knock over the statues standing in the walls nearby, which {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} can use as a platform to traverse the lava.

The dungeon is reminiscent of [[Dodongo's Cavern]] from {{OoT}}, in that Link must use Bomb Flowers to clear away boulders and clear a path. The lighting of [[Torch]]es is required in certain rooms, as is the use of enemy weapons to smash or burn through wooden barricades. At some points, Link is required to use [[Water Pot]]s to cool and solidify lava, allowing him to safely pass over it or ride volcanic geysers and reach higher floors. Brief portions of the dungeon are also set outside, where great care must be taken to avoid falling down from the cliffs in the mountainside.

The main item of the dungeon, the [[Grappling Hook]], is obtained from Medli after defeating two [[Bokoblin]]s and a [[Moblin]] at the mountain's peak, where Valoo roosts. After using this item to obtain the [[Big Key]], Link encounters the boss of the dungeon, [[Gohma]], in the chamber beneath Valoo; it was this creature that had been agitating the Sky Spirit by attacking his tail, leaving the Rito unable to approach him.<ref>{{Cite|I have to tell you what I found out! This is terrible!...Some creature is doing awful things to the great Valoo's tail! That's why he's so angry! The great Valoo's tail hangs down into the room right below here.|Medli|TWW}}</ref> Defeating Gohma calms Valoo and helps restore the confidence of the Rito [[Prince Komali]], who bequeaths [[Din's Pearl]] to Link in gratitude before departing to receive his own scale from the dragon.
