I'm not sure. They say Death Mountain is the highest part in Hyrule, and Spectacle Island is most certainly not that. Not only this, but if I remember correctly, there is a way into One of the halves of Spectacle Island, and if I am correct in remembering this, I'm most likely correct in remembering that there was absolutely no remnants of any sort of temple, let alone Ganon's castle, and personally I don't really imagine that anyone went inside to 'tidy up' with all those Lynels around and the Wizzrobes inside. If this were the same Spectacle rock, sure we could say that it had caved in, but the entrance would have to be the same as in LoZ (however, this argument doesn't really work because WW probably comes before LoZ on the timeline, and I believe they are infact on opposite sides of the timeline.) Therefore, a second argument is required. Mine would be that Spectacle rock is always depicted as near, or on the top of Death Mountain, meaning that if this were Spectacle rock, given that Death Mountain is said to be the higest point, we would have to see some of Death Mountain aswell. Also, according to OoT, Spectacle Rock is actually inside Death Mountain Crater.
With Dragon Roost, I'd say it is likely that it is Death Mountain. It is one of the Highest points (though to be fair, still not the highest, there are all those little rock spires with seagulls on which I remember as being taller.) There is the Lava, the monsters and above all, there is Valoo. That may sound like a stupid argument, but I would say there were three reasons that Death Mountain would be a good resting place for Valoo.
Firstly: Death Mountain is a sacred place, do not forget in previous games the presence of Sages and Great Fairies.
Secondly: Death Mountain was always a place that was, let's say, prone to evil. Given that it was Ganon's old hideaway, used to contain the portal to the dark world, and has always been filled with monsters and bosses. So having something as big and powerful and pure and good there as Valoo, seems like a good idea to me. Sure they did infact get attacked, but I don't think even Valoo would be able to fight off Ganons evil. I expect he was just placed there to ward off against smaller threats.
My third and final point is that: Valoo is a dragon and we have seen before, from previous games (Volvagia) that Death Mountain is an ideal location for a dragon to live and strive among the fire and rock.
My final point as to why I think that Death Mountain is Dragon Roost Island is because, you remember how I said that in Spectacle rock he never see any remnants of Ganon's castle? Well in Death Mountain, it is so big, that everytime you enter, you could be entering at different points, and there could be honestly no point where you go into the same room twice in any game because Death Mountain is so huge.
