| '''Death Mountain''' is a recurring location in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. A towering and sporadically active volcano, Death Mountain's rugged and dangerous terrain often necessitates careful navigation when scaling it. These attributes make the area a natural home for [[Gorons]], and, in turn, [[Goron City]]. In some depictions, [[Ganon]] is known to reside here, instead.

| |
| {{Main|Level 9: Death Mountain}}
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', the name "Death Mountain" can refer either to [[Hyrule]]'s northern mountain range or to one of the [[dungeon]]s located there. The mountains span the entirety of the world's north, stretching from east to west, and covering around one-third of the playable landmass. Much of this area is infested with dangerous enemies, such as [[Lynel]]s, and is further noted for the many hidden caverns embedded into its rock walls. [[Level 6: The Dragon|The Dragon]] and the [[Lost Hills]] are located to the east, and the nearby waterfall spills into a river, which, in turn, empties into [[Lake Hylia]].
| |
|
| |
| Death Mountain, the dungeon, is the final level in ''The Legend of Zelda'' and cannot be completed before [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] acquires eight [[Triforce Shard|Triforce fragments]]. Its entrance is hidden at [[Spectacle Rock]] in the west-central mountains, but can be exposed by tactful placement of a [[Bomb]]. Inside is the room in which [[Ganon]] is encountered as well as where [[Princess Zelda]] is held prisoner. The dungeon features an increase in difficulty over the previous levels due largely to its vast number of differing enemy types. The [[Red Ring]] and the [[Silver Arrow]] can be found here.

| |
| ==''The Adventure of Link''==
| |
| {{Main|Death Mountain (The Adventure of Link)}}
| |
| In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', Death Mountain is located in the southeast of [[Western Hyrule]], south of the [[Water Town of Saria]], and is only accessible if [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)#The Adventure of Link|Link]] has brought [[Bagu]]'s note to the [[River Man]]. The area's daunting assortment of enemies, such as [[Daira]], [[Octorok]]s, and [[Bago-Bago]], provide a challenge up to that of the various [[Palace]]s, and it is further notable for its complex maze of connecting caverns. The [[Hammer]] is found in one of the southern caverns, and a rock adjacent to its entrance may be broken to reveal another room that hides a [[Magic Container]].
| |
|
| |
| A small portion of the far south of the region bears similarity to a scaled-down version of the [[Overworld]] seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''.
| |
|
| |
| ==''A Link to the Past''==
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Death Mountain is located in the northeastern portion of [[Hyrule]]. It is inhabited chiefly by [[Lynel]]s, [[Tektite]]s, and falling [[Boulder]]s, being overall similar to its appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda''. The vertical element has been expanded upon, however, allowing [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] the ability to leap off of cliffs and onto lower levels. Also essential to traversal are the many caverns adorning the face of the mountain, and the [[Magic Mirror]] is needed in order to reach levels that may be unreachable otherwise. Accessibility to Death Mountain is initially limited to a dark cave near the [[Twin Lumberjacks]]' home, which [[Link (A Link to the Past)| Link]] can illuminate using the [[Candle]]. The [[Lost Old Man]] will join Link in navigating the cave and offers healing to him when successfully escorted to his mountain home.
| |
|
| |
| [[Turtle Rock (A Link to the Past)|Turtle Rock]] and [[Ganon's Tower (A Link to the Past)|Ganon's Tower]] are found on Death Mountain when in the [[Dark World]], and the [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|Tower of Hera]] is here when in the [[Light World]]. By climbing the ladder and walking into the central region, one will find a [[Warp Tile]]. Another Warp Tile can be found in the far east, several screens past the suspension bridge.

| |
| ==''Ocarina of Time''==
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Death Mountain is the home of the [[Goron]]s. Their sturdy, heat-resistant bodies provide ample protection from the mountain's harsh elements and they feed off of its vast

| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Death Mountain is home to the Gorons and has a [[Death Mountain Crater|Crater]] that can be visited. The [[Great Fairy]] and [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]] reside within the Crater while on the outside there are Tektites and [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. [[Ganon]]dorf blocked the path to Dodongo's Cavern with a boulder and the Gorons need Link's help to destroy the monster within the cave and the boulder itself so they can eat the "delicious" rocks. There is also a Great Fairy on top of the mountain, but the path up to the mountain is difficult since there are falling rocks that can damage Link. [[Kakariko Village (Ocarina of Time)|Kakariko Village]] can be found beneath the mountain, and the entrance to Death Mountain is guarded.
| |
|
| |
| ==''Four Swords''==
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', Death Mountain is a volcanic mountain. It is one of the first three stages of the game where the Links battle with [[Gouen]] to find the Great Fairy.
| |
|
| |
| ==''Four Swords Adventures''==
| |
| Death Mountain is above [[Hyrule Castle]], just as in ''Four Swords''. It is the third stage of the game. It consists of three parts: [[Death Mountain Foothills]], [[The Mountain Path]] and the [[Tower of Flames]]. [[Tingle's Tower]] can also be found here.
| |
|
| |
| ==''Twilight Princess''==
| |
| [[File:Deathmountaintp.png|Death Mountain in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''|thumb|left]]
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Death Mountain is located to the east ([[Nintendo GameCube|GCN]]) of Hyrule. The trail leading up to the Mountain is connected to Kakariko Village. The trail up to Death Mountain leads to the second dungeon of the game, the [[Goron Mines]]. The volcano itself is not as violent as the Death Mountain in ''Ocarina of Time''; however, the volcano does erupt during the early stages of the game. The mountain itself seems to be active in different ways, as there are now lots of small craters that emit hot steam that can harm Link. There are also other geological features such as [[Death Mountain Hot Spring|Hot Springs]].
| |
|
| |
| Gorons once again mainly inhabit the area; however, they act very different at the beginning of the game than they acted in past installments. At first, the Gorons are hostile with the [[Hylian]]s if they try to go up the trail. If Link attempts to go up, the Gorons will roll viciously at Link knocking him down. Link must acquire the [[Iron Boots]] from [[Mayor Bo]], at which point he is able to stand his ground against the physically gifted Gorons. Once Link challenges the [[Goron Elder]] [[Gor Coron]] to a sumo match and beats him, he earns the respect of the Gorons. Gor Coron then reveals to Link why the Gorons have been hostile to the Hylian; their leader, [[Darbus]], touched the treasure they have guarded from the command of the [[Golden Goddesses]] and turned into a monster. They locked him up, and did not want the Hylians' help. Gor Coron asks Link if he can help them and save Darbus, and if accepted, Link can enter the Goron Mines. Once Link has defeated [[Fyrus]], he receives the second [[Fused Shadow]], and the mountain returns to its once calm state.
| |
|
| |
| Later on in the game, Link has to unfreeze the frozen [[Zora's Domain]]. Earlier on when traversing up Death Mountain, Link witnesses a large piece of volcanic rock erupting from the mountain. With [[Midna]]'s help, Link can [[warp]] this volcanic rock to Zora's Domain and use its hot and hard properties to unfreeze Zora's Domain.
