The dungeon is reminiscent of [[Dodongo's Cavern]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'': Link has to constantly use Bomb Flowers to destroy giant boulders that block his way; because (surprisingly) Link doesn't find a [[Bomb Bag]] yet, Bomb Flowers remain as the only means of explosive material. The Cavern features a reoccurring amount of [[Puzzle#Torch Puzzle|torch scenarios]], making the exploration less difficult than in other dungeons; other parts require Link to cool lava with water jars, which is very important so that the young hero can pass through fiery floors, as well as rise on lava geysers as if he was taking an elevator; after reaching the Cavern's roof, Link has to rescue Medli, who ends up captured by two [[Bokoblin]]s and a [[Moblin]] (it should be noted that the [[stairs|staircase]] leading to said roof | The dungeon is reminiscent of [[Dodongo's Cavern]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'': Link has to constantly use Bomb Flowers to destroy giant boulders that block his way; because (surprisingly) Link doesn't find a [[Bomb Bag]] yet, Bomb Flowers remain as the only means of explosive material.

Upon her release, Link receives the [[Grappling Hook]], which is what the Rito used to use before they had wings. From this point, Link uses the new tool as a vine to jump lava pits and holes, as well as to press switches hanging from the ceiling. | ||
Once in possession of the [[Key#Boss_Key|Big Key]], Link finds the Magtail Queen called [[Gohma]] in the room below [[Valoo]]. It is this Magtail that was causing Valoo to be upset as she was agitating his tail, which hung down into the cavern below.<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!
