{{Term/Store|Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly||Series, OoT, OoT3D}},<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E|publisher= |page= 148}}</ref> also known as '''Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly''',<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 208}}</ref> is the third {{Term|OoT3D|Dungeon|link}} in {{OoT}}.

The dungeon is set inside the body of [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]], who spends every day on [[Zora's Fountain]]. To enter, [[Link]] must drop a [[Fish]] from his [[Bottle]] in front of Jabu-Jabu, causing him to open his mouth and suck both the fish and Link inside. His mission here, while he is looking for the third [[Spiritual Stone]], the [[Zora's Sapphire]], is to rescue [[Princess Ruto]].<ref>{{Cite|The evidence seems clear. Of course, you'll go find Ruto. You can pass through here to the altar of Lord Jabu-Jabu.|King Zora|OoT}}</ref>

While inside, Link must initially avoid the vast variety of parasitic enemies, including an especially large tentacle-like organism with electrified appendages in the shape of unstable pillars and jellyfish-like creatures called [[Bari]],<ref>{{Cite|Lord Jabu-Jabu is very strange today... There are electrified jellyfish and strange holes around...|Princess Ruto|OoT}}</ref> since they become much harder to kill without the [[Boomerang]], the weapon found inside the dungeon. Shortly thereafter, Link locates [[Princess Ruto]] inside what appears to be the stomach, who initially refuses to accept any help from Link,<ref>{{Cite|You! Who are you?! I am Ruto, Princess of the Zoras. What?! Are you saying my father asked you to come here to save me? I'd never ask anyone to do such a thing! "Letter in a Bottle?"  I have no idea what you're talking about! My father is worried about me? I don't care! Anyway, I can't go home right now. And you... Get out of here! understand?!|Princess Ruto|OoT}}</ref> and accidentally falls into a {{Term|OoT3D|Yuck Hole|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Ooooh Noooooo!|Princess Ruto|OoT}}</ref> Once found again by the young hero, she commands him to help her recover the Sapphire. Link must carry Ruto throughout many rooms to help her find it.<ref>{{Cite|You're that worried about me? Then I will give you the honor of carrying me! However...I won't leave until I find the thing I'm looking for. You'd better believe me!|Princess Ruto|OoT}}</ref> These rooms include areas where Link must fight numerous tentacles with the help of the Boomerang, so that new areas can be explored. He eventually enters a large room that has a central platform with the Zora's Sapphire on it.<ref>{{Cite|That's it! That's what I've been looking for!Throw me up there! Onto the platform!|Princess Ruto|OoT}}</ref>

After taking the Zora's Sapphire, Ruto is captured, and Link is ambushed by a [[Big Octo]] that must be defeated in order to continue.<ref>{{Cite|Oh my goodness! I finally found... My mother's stone... [...] Keeeyaaaah! What is this?! An octopus?!|Princess Ruto|OoT}}</ref> After defeating it, Link continues until he locates the creature causing Jabu-Jabu's discomfort: a parasite called [[Barinade]], the dungeon's boss. Link eventually defeats Barinade, rescues Princess Ruto, and receives the Zora's Sapphire as a reward.<ref>{{Cite|Well, anyway, you saved me, so I guess I'll reward you. What do you wish? Just tell me... [...] My mother gave it to me and said I should give it only to the man who will be my husband. You might call it the Zora's Engagement Ring! All right! I'll give you my most precious possession: Zora's Sapphire!|Princess Ruto|OoT}}</ref>

The dungeon has many strange changes in the {{MQ}} version of the game. Instead of uvula-like switches on the ceilings of Jabu Jabu's intestinal tract, there are now cow head switches attached to walls that operate the opening of doors. As for enemies, [[Lizalfos]] and [[Like Like]]s were added to several rooms, the [[Parasitic Tentacle]]s were dispersed evenly and in larger quantities throughout Jabu-Jabu's insides, and invisible [[Keese]] were supplied to one room that includes an extra [[Gold Skulltula]]. Only three [[Tailpasaran]]s appear in an optional room with a Gold Skulltula, and [[Business Scrub]]s were deleted from the Master Quest version. In terms of items, the [[Dungeon Map]], [[Compass]], and [[Boomerang]] can be obtained much earlier; the room that contained the Boomerang in the original version now contains the Compass, and vice versa. Other changes include the placement of a grown cow in a room, the addition of a water pillar in the room below the {{Plural|OoT3D|Yuck Hole}}, and the presence of [[Bombchu]]s, which are used to complete various new puzzles throughout the dungeon. Princess Ruto is utilized much less as a gameplay mechanic, as she is only required to hit one switch.
