The '''Dragon Roost Cavern''' is the first main [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', which is located inside the large mountain on [[Dragon Roost Island]].
The '''Dragon Roost Cavern''' is the first major [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. It is located inside the large mountain on [[Dragon Roost Island]].


The Sky Spirit, [[Valoo]], resides atop said large mountain. [[Link]] arrives to find that the Cavern is infested with many [[Moblin]]s, [[Bokoblin]]s and other monsters. Link initially traverses the mountain to rescue [[Medli]], a member of the [[Rito]] tribe. After rescuing Medli, Link receives the [[Grappling Hook]] from her and defeats [[Gohma]], a monster that is causing Valoo much pain by pulling on his tail from inside the mountain, causing Valoo to become enraged and attack members of the Rito tribe seeking their wings. This scares [[Komali]], the chief's son, who tells Link that if he could prove that he was courageous enough to calm Valoo, he would talk to him. Link returns to the base of the mountain after calming Valoo to receive [[Din's Pearl]] from Komali, who apologizes to Link.
==Overview==
The Sky Spirit, [[Valoo]], resides atop the large mountain on Dragon Roost Island. [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] journeys inside of Dragon Roost Cavern in hopes to scaling the peak of the mountain and calming down Valoo.{{Ref|TWW|1694|Prince Komali}}


When Link arrives inside the cavern, he'll find that it is infested with many [[Moblin]]s, [[Bokoblin]]s and other monsters. Link initially traverses the mountain to follow [[Medli]], a member of the [[Rito]] tribe. Medlie was captured by Bokoblins and is being held prisoner outdoors, just below where Valoo is found. She is being guarded by a pair of [[Green Bokoblin]], as well as an enemy Moblin that is dropped in. After defeating the enemies and rescuing Medli, Link receives the [[Grappling Hook]].


== Sidequests in the Cavern ==
Dragon Roost Cavern is filled with lava and fire-based enemies and obstacles. Link will encounter [[Fire Keese]] flying around, as well as enemy [[Magtail]]s, which crawl around in the lava. Throughout the dungeon, there are numerous [[Fire Geyser]]s, that shoot out lava from walls or from down below. Link will have to avoid these geysers, but at times, uses them to his advantage by dropping [[Water]] on top of them. When water is dropped on the lava, it solidifies, creating platforms that allow Link to navigate across.
While [[Link]] can not obtain it until later in the Wii U remake since it uses standard [[Bombs]] rather than [[Tingle Bombs]], there is a [[Tingle Statue]] hidden within [[Dragon Roost Cavern]]. It can be found on the way to obtaining the [[dungeon]]'s [[Boss Key]]. Link must ride the "elevator" he creates by cutting the ropes holding up a platform on a higher level of the main room. When he jumps across the platforms and climbs the ladder, he must open the door by using the [[Grappling Hook]] to pull down the red switch and leaping backwards instead of forward. Once the door is open, Link must enter and grapple to the seemingly useless ledge in front of him. Finally, he must place a Bomb/Tingle Bomb there and take out his [[Shield]] to avoid getting hurt. A treasure chest containing the Dragon Tingle Statue will appear.


After clearing the dungeon, Link returns to the base of the mountain after calming Valoo to receive [[Din's Pearl]] from Komali, who apologizes to Link.
==Gohma==
{{main|Gohma (The Wind Waker)}}
[[File:TWW-Gohma.png|left|150px]][[Gohma (The Wind Waker)|Gohma]] serves as the boss of Dragon Roost Cavern. Gohma can be found in the chamber just below where Valoo is located and it revealed that Gohma is the reason why Valoo is in distress. Gohma has been pulling on Valoo's tail from inside, causing Valoo to become enraged, which has caused destruction around Dragon Roost Island and has prevented the young Rito from scaling the mountain to acquire a [[Scale]].
In the first phase of the battle, Link can use the Grappling Hook on Valoo's tail, causing a the large boulder attached to it to drop, landing on top of Gohma and destroying some of its armor. After repeating this process three times, Gohma's armor will be completely destroyed. At this point, Link can then use the Grappling Hook on the eye of Gohma to pull him closer. After numerous strikes with the [[Hero's Sword]], Gohma will be defeated, leaving behind a [[Heart Container]].
==Treasure==
*[[Dragon Tingle Statue]] - Available initially in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] version of the game, Link is able to obtain one of the [[Tingle Statues]]. In the [[Nintendo Wii U]] version, Link will need to return to the dungeon, after acquiring [[Bomb]]s. The statue can be found along the northern corridor of the First Floor, along the path that leads to the [[Boss Key]]. When at the north end of the main central chamber of the dungeon, Link can use the Grappling Hook to grab the hook, opening the northern door. In this room, Link will see a seemingly useless ledge right in front of him. Link can use the [[Tingle Tuner]] to play a [[Tingle Bomb]] here, or a standard Bomb in 'HD' version of the game. This will cause a [[Treasure Chest]] to appear containing the Dragon Tingle Statue.
*[[Treasure Chart 39]] - Located on the 2nd Floor of the Dungeon, just moments before Link acquires the Grappling Hook. In the natural progress of the dungeon, Link will reach a room that has a [[Blue Bokoblin]], along with two other Bokoblin who are hiding within pots on the side of room. Link will need to defeat these Bokoblin to advance in the dungeon. This room has two torches, with one of them unlit. Link can light the second torch to get the Treasure Chart.
*[[Treasure Chart 11]] - Found near the entrance of the dungeon. Link can travel through the first door to make it to the main chamber of the dungeon. From there, he can take the door on the left, and then turn to the right. Here there is a gap that Link can swing across, using the Grappling Hook. After breaking the wooden planks, he'll reach the treasure chest with the Treasure Chart.
