Spectacle Rock is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3] It typically appears as a mountain with twin peaks.
Features and Overview
The Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda, Spectacle Rock is found in northern Hyrule in the central western portion of Death Mountain. It is the location of Ganon's lair in the First Quest.[1] In order to enter, Link must use a Bomb in the southern side of the base of its left peak to reveal the entrance.
The Adventure of Link
In The Adventure of Link, Spectacle Rock is found in Death Mountain in the southwestern region of Hyrule and both of its peaks contain and are represented by caves on the map. Its eastern peak contains a cave where the Hammer is obtained after Link works his way east through its bottom level.[4] Its western peak contains a cave that is initially covered by a rock that Link can destroy after acquiring the Hammer.[5] Unlike the eastern peak's cave that is entered laterally, the western cave is underground where the opening is on top of the peak. A Magic Container can be found inside the cave.
Minor Enemies
A Link to the Past
In A Link to the Past, Spectacle Rock is located on top of Death Mountain in the Light World. Being Death Mountain's highest point, it is an obstacle blocking the path to its north that leads to the Tower of Hera.[6] The center of the adjoining bridge between its peaks contains a cave that leads to lower elevations on Death Mountain. Its counterpart in the Dark World is buried under volcanic sediment, as its outline is visible. To get to the path north of Spectacle Rock in the Light World, Link must first travel to the Dark World and stand within the outline of its counterpart. Using the Magic Mirror within this area sends Link on top of Spectacle Rock in the Light World where he can find a Piece of Heart on its eastern peak. He can then leap down to the path north of it leading to the Tower of Hera.
Breath of the Wild
In Breath of the Wild, Spectacle Rock is based on the same location from The Legend of Zelda.[7] It appears as two large circular mesas in the east portion of the Gerudo Highlands. The northernmost mesa bears the Wasteland Tower, which is surrounded by a Bottomless Bog. Initially, the southernmost mesa will be vacant.
After Link frees Divine Beast Vah Naboris during the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" Main Quest, Urbosa will pilot it on top of the southernmost mesa of Spectacle Rock.[8] There, it will take aim at Hyrule Castle, waiting for Link's attack on Calamity Ganon.[9]
As part of the "EX Champion Urbosa's Song" Main Quest, which is exclusive to The Champions' Ballad DLC Pack, Link is directed to return to Divine Beast Vah Naboris on Spectacle Rock.[10] Once there, he is transported to the Illusory Realm, where he must face a recreation of Thunderblight Ganon.[11] After defeating Thunderblight Ganon, Link will be returned to Spectacle Rock, where he will find Kass nearby.[12] Kass reveals that he has been inspired to create a song in honor of Urbosa, which unlocks the "Champion Urbosa's Song" EX Recovered Memory.[13][14] Link will then hear the voice of Urbosa, who states he will be able to use Urbosa's Fury more often.[15]
Two Treasure Chests can be found on Spectacle Rock. They are both made of metal, and they are submerged in the Bottomless Bog surrounding the Wasteland Tower. Using the Magnesis Rune, Link can pull them to the surface. They contain a bundle of five Bomb Arrows and a Sapphire, respectively.
Three Korok Seed Puzzles are located on Spectacle Rock. The first is a Cube Pattern to the south of Wasteland Tower. A Natural Hiding Spot that takes the form a Rock can also be found south of the Sheikah Tower. Lastly, a Balloon can be found under the archway connecting the two mesas, which Link can destroy using Archery. When each of these Puzzles are solved, a Korok will appear and give Link a Korok Seed.[16]

In Tears of the Kingdom, Spectacle Rock returns in its incarnation from Breath of the Wild, where it once again appears as two large mesas in the Gerudo Highlands. The northern mesa contains a Stone Talus (Rare) surrounded by a Bottomless Bog and Ore Deposits, while the southern mesa contains a Flame Gleeok perched upon Fallen Debris from the Upheaval. Beneath Spectacle Rock's northern mesa lies Spectacle Rock Cave, and the Lower Spectacle Rock Cave lies further below the northeast side of the southern mesa.
As part of the "A Picture for the Closed Stable I" Side Quest, Link must take a Picture of Spectacle Rock from above where multiple Sky Island formations create the shape of a smiling face, with Spectacle Rock itself appearing as the eyes. As part of "The Yiga Clan Exam" Side Adventure, Link is tasked with offering Mighty Bananas to a Frog Statue found in the northern part of Spectacle Rock.
A Race Korok Seed Puzzle is present in the Spectacle Rock cliff face, with the Korok granting Link a Korok Seed once found. Various Stones and pieces of Tumbleweed can be found throughout Spectacle Rock, as well as a singular Boulder found in the elevated part of the northern mesa.

It was written that Calamity Ganon once adopted the form of a Gerudo. And that... will make this victory all the more satisfying. I like that. Now I can take this personally. Once we've established a lock on that thing... It will be up to Link to keep Ganon occupied until the moment we unleash our strike. That moment... is going to be so delicious.

Well, well. Though our aims are different, our feet took us to the same destination. I speak figuratively, of course. I travel by wing rather than by foot.

Ah! Wandering around here and listening to anecdotes about Champion Urbosa has truly invigorated me. In fact, it has inspired me to honor her in my own way, separate from my teacher's unfinished song. That is why I felt inclined to roost here, near the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, which Urbosa herself mastered.

I must say, you are an impressive voe. You may now wield Urbosa's Fury far more often. You are the pride of Hyrule, hero. Take care of our princess. I'm leaving that honor in your capable hands.
