Being the first dungeon of the game, the Gnarled Root Dungeon is fairly simple in terms of enemy and puzzle difficulty. Including the [[Boss Key]], three [[key]]s can be found throughout the dungeon. There are also [[Treasure Chest]]s containing a [[Gasha Seed]], an unappraised [[Magic Ring]], and Link's first [[Bomb]]s, which can be used to expose a bombable wall within the dungeon. This dungeon features several [[Puzzle#Block Puzzle|Block Puzzle]]s and a set of tracks for a [[Mine Cart]]. Defeating the dungeon's twin mini-bosses, the [[Brother Goriyas]], leads to a room which yields a [[Seed Satchel]] filled with [[Ember Seed]]s. These are then used to light [[Puzzle#Torch Puzzle|Torches]], unlocking new doors and allowing Link to obtain the [[Boss Key]] of the dungeon. Once Link defeats the Boss, [[Aquamentus]], he obtains a [[Heart Container]] and the essence he was searching for.

{{List Notes}}


The dungeon's twin mini-bosses, the [[Goriya Bros.]], yield a [[Seed Satchel]] filled with [[Mystical Seeds#Ember Seeds|Ember Seeds]] after their defeat.  Once Link defeats the boss, [[Aquamentus]], he obtains a [[Heart Container]] and the essence he was searching for. Overall, this is a very simple dungeon that can be conquered without much trouble: the only true puzzles are "guess which block to push" predicaments. Although there are many monsters, most of them are fairly weak. Link can find one [[Gasha Seed]] partway through this dungeon.
==Trivia==
*As {{OoS}} was originally meant to be a remake of the original {{TLoZ}},<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= The Oracle games originally started life out as a remake of the original NES Legend of Zelda. Yoshiki Okamoto of Capcom approached Miyamoto with the idea and, after much back and forth, got the go-ahead.|url= http://www.1up.com/news/25-things-you-did-not-know-about-zelda?pager.offset=2|title=25 Things You Didn't Know About The Legend of Zelda|site= 1UP.com}}</ref> this dungeon is reminiscent of {{Term|TLoZ|Level 1|link}}, the first dungeon of the game. The layouts are similar, the exterior of both dungeons is what appears to be a dead tree in a small island within a lake, they are both the first Dungeon in the game, and both Dungeons have Aquamentus as the main boss. Also, an [[Old Man]] found within the dungeon will give Link advice on how to progress through the dungeon.


Coincidentally, not only is its entrance - a gnarled, dead tree - similar to the [[Eagle Labyrinth]], but the two dungeons also share the same [[boss]]. In Norse mythology there is a dragon named [[wikipedia:Níðhöggr|Níðhöggr]] that gnarls on a root of [[wikipedia:Yggdrasill|Yggdrasill]] - compare with the fact that the boss of this dungeon is a dragon.
