In | In {{LOZ}}, Death Mountain is both the name of the final dungeon and the region located in northern Hyrule, a large sprawling expanse of rock covering the northern border of the map. The mountain range is usually home to some of the more stronger enemies in the game, such as [[Lynel]]s, who are said to be the guardians of the mountain. Occasionally [[Boulder|Rocks]] will also fall from the hills and the mountains also have a few streams and ponds that are home to [[River Zora|Zoras]]. | ||
Death Mountain also has two distinctive landmarks. The first being [[Lost Hills]], a mountainous counterpart of the maze-like [[Lost Woods]]. Beyond this maze is the fifth dungeon [[Lizard]] in the first quest. The mountain also has [[Spectacle Rock]], in which [[Ganon]] keeps his hideout, simply referred to as [[Death Mountain (Dungeon)|Death Mountain]]. | Death Mountain also has two distinctive landmarks.

In | In {{AOL}}, the area of Hyrule that was seen in the game's prequel, ''The Legend of Zelda'', can be seen in the deep south of [[Western Hyrule]], although was made considerably smaller due to the new style of [[Overworld]] map. This area of Hyrule also includes the Death Mountain region, but greatly expanded in ''The Adventure of Link''. Death Mountain, located south of the [[Water Town of Saria]], is comprised of a dozen or so different tunnels that house many enemies (notably a large number of [[Daira]]), several of which lead to dead ends if the wrong paths are taken. A few tunnels also have pools of lava, usually with a bridge suspended above them. Only a few paths lead to the southern region of Hyrule, where Link can find a [[hammer]] hidden in a cave beneath [[Spectacle Rock]], where the original game's final dungeon was located. | ||

It is home to many [[Deadrock]]s and numerous caves filled with [[Keese]] and [[Mini-Moldorm|Moldorm]]s among other enemies. At the very peak of the seemingly unclimbable mountain is the inaccessible [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|Tower of Hera]], found beyond [[Spectacle Rock]]. Without travelling to the [[Dark World]], he cannot scale this peak to reach the dungeon and the final [[Pendants of Virtue|Pendant]]. Here Link will also meet the [[Lost Old Man]] and is able to start the game after saving from his hideout in the Mountain Cave. The mountain is covered with numerous glimmering crystals that are seemingly uncovered by constantly tumbling [[Boulder]]s. In the Japanese game, the mountain is only named Death Mountain in the Dark World. In the Light World, it is known as Mount Hebra (ヘブラ山), although it is seemingly considered the same location under a different name. | ||
Its [[Dark World]] counterpart is home to [[Turtle Rock (A Link to the Past)|Turtle Rock]] and [[Ganon's Tower]], found where the Tower of Hera is in the [[Light World]]. The Dark World counterpart is volcanic, with rocks constantly dripping with magma. It has very few inhabitants, but as with the original game, Ganon's Tower itself is guarded by dangerous [[Lynel]]s. The magical [[Cane of Byrna]] can be found hidden in the caves here. | Its [[Dark World]] counterpart is home to [[Turtle Rock (A Link to the Past)|Turtle Rock]] and [[Ganon's Tower]], found where the Tower of Hera is in the [[Light World]].

Death Mountain is featured once again in | Death Mountain is featured once again in {{TP}}, and is still home to the [[Goron]] tribe. 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.
