'''Death Mountain''' is a recurring location in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Its inhabitants are often [[Goron]]s, but [[Ganon]] has had his lair in Death Mountain also. Sometimes it is just a mountain, but in most games, it is an active volcano. The mountains often have similarities throughout the series, and some are considered to be the same. It is located in [[Hyrule]].

===Legend of Zelda===
{{Main|Level 9: Death Mountain}}
Death Mountain is a huge mountain range found in northern Hyrule. This huge mountain range spans the entire width of the map, touching both the eastern and western edges of [[Hyrule]]. On the top of Death Mountain there is [[Spectacle Rock]], which hides the entrance to Ganon's Lair, [[Level 9: Death Mountain]]. [[Level 6: The Dragon]] is also located on Death Mountain. Death Mountain is inhabited by [[Tektite]]s, [[Lynel]]s, and [[Boulder]]s. There is a reservoir in the eastern area from which a river flows down a waterfall, eventually draining into [[Lake Hylia]].

===Adventure of Link===
[[File:Death_Mountain_Area_OW.png|150px|left]]In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', Death Mountain is found in the south-east of [[Western Hyrule]], south of the [[Water Town of Saria]] only after showing [[Bagu]]'s note to the [[River Man]]. While not a dungeon in its own right, the horde of [[Daira]], [[Octorok]]s, [[Bago-Bago]] and a complex labyrinth of caves make it as challenging as any of the Palaces. Link's reward for battling his way to the southern end of the area is the [[Hammer]]. If Link breaks the boulder next to the cave where the hammer is discovered and walks into that space, he also finds a [[Magic Container]] hidden in a cave. Close inspection of the far south of the region reveals a scaled-down version of the [[Overworld]] from the ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''.

===A Link to the Past===
In this game there are three dungeons that can be found on Death Mountain: [[Turtle Rock (A Link to the Past)|Turtle Rock]] and [[Ganon's Tower (A Link to the Past)|Ganon's Tower]] in the [[Dark World]] and [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|Tower of Hera]] in the [[Light World]]. Just as in ''The Legend of Zelda'', it is inhabited by Lynels, Tektites and Boulders. Normally Link would need permission from the [[King of Hyrule]] to enter Death Mountain, but since [[Agahnim]] was in charge there wasn't any need for one. The spring that can be found in ''The Legend of Zelda'' doesn't exist in this game, although there is a waterfall and a river that create Lake Hylia.

===Ocarina of Time===
In this installment 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]]. But [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] blocked the path to Dodongo's Cavern with a boulder and the Gorons needed Link's help to destroy the monster within the cave and the boulder itself so they could 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]] 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===
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 seen 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 a 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 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 he 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. 

The music that plays on Death Mountain is a remix of the track from ''Ocarina of Time''.
