'''Grottos''', also known as '''Hidden Holes''', '''Dig Caverns''', '''Secret Grottos''', '''Secret Caves''', and '''Secret Caverns''' are recurring underground chambers of varying sizes | '''Grottos''', also known as '''Hidden Holes''', '''Dig Caverns''', '''Secret Grottos''', '''Secret Caves''', and '''Secret Caverns''' are recurring underground chambers of varying sizes in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. These underground areas are scattered all over the place with some not being accessible right away and are all exited from through a column of light that shines down whence [[Link]] entered. | ||

In ''Ocarina of Time'', Grottos appear all over [[Hyrule]], some being out in the open while others are hidden or needed to be accessed through other means such as the use of a [[Bomb]] or by playing the [[Song of Storms]]. In this game, the basic Grottos typically house a small chest, a small pool with [[Fish]], stones which bugs hide under, some grass and a [[Gossip Stone]]. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Grottos appear all over [[Hyrule]], some being out in the open while others are hidden or needed to be accessed through other means such as the use of a [[Bomb]] or by playing the [[Song of Storms]].

In ''Majora's Mask'', Grottos appear in various areas around [[Termina]]. Like in ''Ocarina of Time'', some cannot be accessed right away while others can be found out in the open. Unlike the aforementioned Grottos that contain enemies and even [[Heart Container]]s, these Grottos can be found much more often. Sometimes, [[Magic Mushroom]]s can be found within the basic Grottos in this game. However, if [[Link]] does not have the [[Mask of Scents]] yet, this will not be apparent and he will not be able to find any of them. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Grottos appear in various areas around [[Termina]].

In ''The Wind Waker'', Grottos appear on the many islands scattered around the [[Great Sea]]. Unlike previous games, these Grottos are all large underground chamber-like areas present within the lower portions of whatever island Link enters them on. Usually, enemies or a puzzle await the young hero whenever he decides to check out one of these caverns. A notable Grotto found within this game is the one positioned on [[Outset Island]] which houses the [[Savage Labyrinth]]. Link is first forced to go through some of the floors of this cavern in order to obtain one of the [[Triforce Chart]]s. After this, it can be explored through completely in order to obtain a [[Piece of Heart]]. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', Grottos appear on the many islands scattered around the [[Great Sea]].

In ''Twilight Princess'', Grottos appear in the various areas around Hyrule. Unlike previous games, this time around, they can only be accessed when [[Wolf Link]] digs in certain parts of the Overworld as they do not appear as holes Link can just fall into. The Grottos Link can access this way have a variety of different contents; either Link arrives in a cavern full of enemies, a cavern full of water that he can fish in, or even just a cavern that contains some minor enemies and a bunch of treasure chests. If Link chooses to take on the [[Poe Soul]] side quest, he has to explore some of these Grottos as a few of the [[Imp Poe]]s Link needs to take out are positioned underground. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Grottos appear in the various areas around Hyrule.
