Note: I might get some thing messed up. Dungeons are harder than just Link walking
around Hyrule talking to people.
When Link entered Dodongo's cavern, he found another barrier blocking his path.
Fortunately, there were several Bomb Flowers in the room. Link picked one up and set it
by the wall of rock. Link ran to the other end of the room and covered his ears. He
ducked down. But he still felt the heat when the Bomb Flower exploded. He got up and
turned around. The wall was gone. Inside Dodongo's cavern was a huge head made of
stone..... at least, that's what Link hoped it was made from. He also saw a platform in the
middle of the cavern. On the platform that looked like a machine with an eye on top.
Surrounding the middle platform, were smaller platforms that were moving up and down
through the lava below. Several things that looked like bats were flying around the room.
Their bodies were on fire, yet they showed no pain.
"Navi, what are those things flying around the cavern?" Link asked.
"They are Fire Keese. Their bodies are supposed to be on fire," answered Navi.
"What's the thing with the eye?" Link asked Navi.
"That is a Beamos. Watch out for the beam it shoots out its eye when you get close,"
advised Navi.
Link walked into Dodongo's Cavern. He looked around some more. Suddenly, a Fire
Keese flew at him. Link ducked down and the Fire Keese hit his Hylian shield on his
back. Link got up and found a bat hovering by Link. "Now the Fire Keese is a regular
Keese," informed Navi. Link pulled out his sword and sliced the Keese down the middle.
Link looked around wondering where to go. On either side of the cavern, the sides were
jutting out from the wall. On each side of the wall was a door, and a Beamos. The door
on the left side of the cavern was covered with bars. But the door on the right side didn't
have anything covering it. Link looked down and saw that he could keep from touching
the lava if he stayed close to the side of the wall.
Link jumped down the platform he was on and turned toward the right. He stayed close
to the wall and circled around the side of the wall. When he was done he saw a ladder
leading up the wall. Link climbed it and was on the platform. He looked ahead and saw
the Beamos. By the Beamos was a Bomb Flower. Link walked up to the Bomb Flower
and picked it up. He threw it at the Beamos. When the Bomb Flower exploded, the part
of the Beamos below the eye exploded too. The eye flew through the air and hit the
ground. The eye then exploded. Link walked up to the door and found that it was high
up the cavern wall. Link jumped up and tried to reach it, but he couldn't. Link took out
his Deku Stick and tried to see if he could climb up that, but it failed.
"Can you lift me up Navi? I can't reach the door," said Link. Navi tried but Link didn't
go any higher than and inch. "I'm sorry. You're too heavy," said Navi.
Link walked around the wall when he saw that part of it looked like it wasn't very sturdy.
Link tapped on it and he heard and echo. "I wish I could get rid of this part of the wall.
But I have nothing that would remove it," said Link. He looked around and saw that the
Bomb Flower Link had used had grown back. Link walked over to it, picked it up, and
ran to the part of the wall that could be destroyed. Link set the Bomb Flower by the wall
and ran away. The Bomb Flower exploded, destroying the wall.
Link walked through and found himself in a hallway. He looked around when suddenly
he was hit from behind. He looked around and saw something that was about two inches
high and a foot long. It didn't have legs but it slithered pretty quickly and it was able to
leap into the air.
"Link, that's a Baby Dodongo! They attack by leading or biting or both! Watch out
when you kill it! When a Dodongo dies they blow up so hopefully the explosion will
take care of their enemy," advised Navi. The Baby Dodongo came back toward Link. It
leaped at Link but Link stabbed it through the head. The Dodongo fell on the ground.
Link ran away from the Baby Dodongo as he heard it blow up behind him. Just as Link
was about to take a breath, five more Baby Dodongos attacked him! The first one tried to
bite Link in the foot, but Link kicked it away temporarily. Another jumped at Link, but
Link stabbed it in the stomach. It hit the ground and Link ran away. It blew up. That left
four more (counting the one Link kicked). One Baby Dodongo bit Link in the back, but
Link pulled it off and cut it in half. Both pieces blew up. The Dodongo that Link kicked
got up and flew at Link, but Link hit at with the flat of his blade killing it. The dead
Dodongo hit the other two Dodongos. When that Dodongo blew up, the other two did
also.
"Good job, Link!" exclaimed Navi. Link smiled and then grimaced in pain as his back
hurt from the Dodongo's bite. Link walked along the hallway and found himself at a
door with bars across it. Link saw a statue by a switch. Link walked over to the switch
and stepped on it. The bars across the door disappeared. But when Link stepped off the
switch, the bars went across the door again. "You need to put something heavy on the
switch to open the door," said Navi. Link walked over to the statue and pulled it on the
switch. The bars disappeared again. Link walked toward the door and opened it. Inside
was another hallway. There was a Keese on either side of the hall. Link quietly took out
his slingshot and shot both of them. Link walked through the hallway and opened the
door.
The room was filled with lava. On top of the lava were several platforms. To Link's left,
on another platform, was a door. On two other platforms, were two lizard like creatures
with a metal shield and a small sword. "Navi, what are those?" Link asked nervously.
"Those are Lizalfols. They are a warrior lizard race," answered Navi.
One of the Lizalfols jumped from platform to platform until he was on Link's platform.
Link pulled out his sword. The Lizalfols swipe at Link. Link didn't expect it so he
ducked. The sword hit the Hylian Shield on Link's back. Link got up and tried to stab
the Lizalfol. But the Lizalfol jumped back dodging the sword. Link tried again but the
Lizalfol parried Link's sword with its own. The Lizalfol attacked Link but Link again
duck from the blade. Quickly, Link jumped up and stabbed the Lizalfol in the throat.
"One down, one to go," said Link as the other Lizalfol jumped toward Link.
The second Lizalfol leaped over Link and stabbed at the back of Link's throat. But Link
swiftly turned around and knocked the Lizalfol's blade away. Link then swiped his
sword at the Lizalfol's left leg, slicing it off. The Lizalfol fell down on his left side. Link
brought his sword down on the Lizalfol's throat, killing it instantly. Link looked down at
the two Lizalfols. Link turned around and jumped from platform to platform until he
reached the door.
Link found himself in yet another hallway. Link walked down the hallway until he
reached another room. He looked around and saw several pillars in a straight line that
went from the bottom of the ground to the top of the ceiling. Link also saw creatures
with scales all over. They had two legs in the front that pulled their whole body around.
"I'm guessing that those are the full grown Dodongos?" Link asked Navi. Navi answered
yes.
Link ran over to the first Dodongo. He brought his sword down on the Dodongo's head.
His sword just bounced off. The Dodongo turned and hit Link with it tail. Link was
knocked into the wall. Link painfully got up and turned toward the Dodongo. "Navi, do
these things have any weaknesses?" Link questioned.
"Their tail is the only part of their body without armor. And I guess a Bomb Flower
would be able to get through the armor," answered Navi.
Link ran again at the Dodongo. The Dodongo opened its mouth and a stream of fire
came out. Link jumped to the right to dodge the fire. Link ran at the Dodongo's tail.
Link cut at the tail. Unfortunately, the sword cut through only an inch of the tail. But it
was enough because the Dodongo roared in pain. Link ran over to a Bomb Flower that
was nearby and threw t at the Dodongo. The Bomb Flower blew, killing the Dodongo.
Then the Dodongo blew up itself. Link did the same thing with the other Dodongos. Hit
them in the tail. Then blew them up with a Bomb Flower.
On the other side of the room was a door covered in bars. Link looked around for a
switch, but there were none. "How do I get past the bars?" asked Link.
"I don't know. I think there might be something you need to do. Like light the three
torches," answered Navi. Link looked around and there were three torches. Link walked
back to the entrance and found a lit torch by the door. Link pulled out his Deku Stick.
He put the tip of the stick to the fire. The stick lit. Link ran to the first torch. He lit the
torch. He lit the second and third torches too. Link quickly put out the fire on the Deku
Stick. He then put the stick away. Link looked at the door and saw that the bars were
gone.
Link saw that he was in another hallway. It was short though. At the end of the hallway
was a switch. Link stepped on it. Link looked ahead and saw the he was in the main
cavern. On the other side of the cavern the bars on a door disappeared. Link jumped
down and found himself at the door he tried to get too earlier. Link walked back to the
other side of the cavern and entered the door.
Inside the room was a huge block of stone. Surrounding the block of stone were Bomb
Flowers. A lot of Bomb Flowers. There was also one lonesome Bomb Flower on one
side of the room. Link walked over to it. Link turned around and saw the only break in
the Bomb Flowers.
"Navi, what would happen if I placed this Bomb Flower over there?" asked Link.
"That Bomb Flower would explode. The explosion would cause the Bomb Flowers on
either side of it to explode. The explosions would cause the block of stone to collapse,"
answered Navi.
Link picked up the Bomb Flower and set it in the space in between two Bomb Flowers.
"Link, what are doing!" yelled Navi. Navi flew under Link's hat as Link ran away from
the big block of stone. Once the Bomb Flower exploded, the other Bomb Flowers
exploded causing mayhem and chaos.
In Kakariko Village:
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Huge explosions rocked Death Mountain.
Boulders were falling down Death Mountain. Soldiers were getting ready for a battle
from some unknown enemy. But after ten seconds that seemed to last ten minutes, all
was quiet.
In Goron City:
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Explosion rocked Goron City. Pieces of the
ceiling were falling down. Chunks of the several layers of Goron City were being
dislodged. Gorons everywhere were going into defensive mode and rolling up into a ball.
But finally the explosions stopped.
Back in Dodongo's Cavern:
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" screamed Link. The Bomb
Flowers exploded. Pieces of the room were falling off. Fire was everywhere. But finally
it all stopped. Link looked up and saw that the block of stone was turned into a giant
staircase. Navi flew out from under Link's hat.
"SEE WHAT'VE YOU DONE!" screamed Navi.
"What? Found the way to the next room?" asked Link. Navi looked at the giant
staircase.
"Oh."
Link started to climb the staircase. He would grab the top of one step and pull himself
up. Once he got to the top, he was tired out. But he got on his feet and continued on.
There was a steep bridge leading to a platform that was connected to the top of the wall.
Link climbed up on there and looked to his left. There was a door. Link entered the
door.
Inside the room was a platform in the middle of it. Two Fire Keese were flying around.
Circling the platform were several statues. Link pulled out his slingshot and shot both the
Fire Keese. Link saw a door with bars across it. Link looked around for a switch or
something. While he was looking for a switch he bumped into a statue. When he did, he
was thrown onto the floor. When Link looked up he saw that the statue had come to life!
Link pulled out his sword. Link ran at the statue and hit it with his sword. But it did
nothing! The statue hit Link with its head, sending Link over to the wall. Link looked
and saw that he had landed by a Bomb Flower. Link picked the Bomb Flower up and
threw it at the statue. The Bomb Flower Blew up the statue. Link just sat on his rear for
a few seconds to register what had just happen. Then he got up and said, "Nothing can
take me down."
"You're getting cocky," replied Navi.
Link continued to look for a switch when he found a ladder leading up the platform. But
it was behind a statue! Link went over to a Bomb Flower nearby. He pulled out his
slingshot and shot the statue. It didn't move. Link waited a few more until he put his
slingshot away and walked to the statue. Link grabbed the statue and pulled it away from
the ladder. Link climbed the ladder and found a switch on top the platform. He stepped
on it and the bars across the door disappeared. Link walked over to the door and opened
it.
Just a little bit ahead of Link was bridge. But blocking the bridge were two Fire Keese.
Link took out his Slingshot and shot them. He them walked along the bridge. Halfway
across the bridge Link just dropped. "Navi! Help!" cried Link as he fell to the first floor
of the cavern. Navi flew down the hole to Link. When she was level to Link she used all
of her power to send Link back up to the bridge, on the other side of the hole of course.
"Tanks Navi," said Link.
On the other side of the bridge was a door. Link opened it and entered the room. He was
on a small ledge. Leading down the ledge was a ladder. Link climbed down the ladder.
The room had several walls in it. But in an almost straight line was a ladder leading up to
a different ledge. Link walked over to the ladder when something hit him. Link toppled
to the floor. Link felt a stabbing pain in his leg. He looked at his leg and there was a
huge gaping hole in his leg. It was bleeding a large amount. Navi flew over to him.
"Link! Do you have something to cover that?" asked Navi.
"Can't you just uuun-," Link groaned. "Can't you just heal it with your magic?"
"Lifting you up from that hole took most of my strength. Most of what I can do is relieve
the pain," answered Navi.
"THEN DO THAT!" yelled Link.
Navi quickly took some of the pain away as Link tore a strip from his shirt.
"Tie it over the wound," advised Navi. Link put the strip on top of the wound and tied
the strip of his shirt. The pain increased a little but the bleeding slowed and soon
stopped.
"What hit me?" Link wondered. Just then a piece of metal with spikes all over it zoomed
past Link. One of the spikes had blood on it.
"I would advise to be careful in here. Make sure any more of these won't hit you," said
Navi.
Link got up and went to one of the walls. He waited until another of the spike balls went
past until he swiftly walked to the ladder. Climbing up the ladder cause excruciating
pain, but Link did it without complaining. When he climbed to the top of the ladder, he
found that the exit was blocked by a stonewall. Link stood on a small ledge that was in
front of the wall. Link looked across and saw a Bomb Flower on a small platform. All
Link had to do was jump across.
"Navi, do you have enough strength left to help me get across the space between here, the
ledge, and back?" Link asked Navi.
"I might. But if I fail you might hurt yourself even more from the fall," answered Navi.
Link groaned and he jumped. He felt himself falling before he got to the ledge, but then
he felt something carrying him farther. When Link was across the space he picked up the
Bomb Flower at the stonewall. But the Bomb Flower bounced off the wall and hit the
floor below before it exploded. The Bomb Flower exploded on the floor.
"Now how do I get rid of the wall? If I had any bombs it wouldn't be as big as a problem
since I would more then likely have more than one. But I don't," speculated Link.
"Link, look," said Navi. Link looked and saw that the Bomb Flower had grown back.
"Good thing they grow back quickly," muttered Link. Link picked up the Bomb Flower
but timed it so that by the time the Bomb Flower would get to the door, the Bomb Flower
would explode. The Bomb Flower exploded destroying the wall revealing a doorway.
Link jumped across with a little help from Navi and walked into the doorway.
There was another small hallway when Link entered another room. Link was on another
small ledge. In the middle of the room was a platform with a flame on it. On the other
side of the flame was a ledge. Over the doorway on the other side was a small open eye.
Link remembered something like this from the Great Deku Tree. Link pulled out his
Slingshot and shot the eye. The eye closed and the fire disappeared. Link jumped on the
platform, again with small help from Navi although less than last time, and onto the ledge
on the other side. Link entered the doorway.
Link entered another hallway. While Link was walking, three Baby Dodongos jumped
out of the sand. One leaped at link but Link sidestepped it and cut the Dodongo in half.
The next one Link stabbed in the stomach. The last one got sword in its mouth.
There was a door at the end of the hallway. Link opened a door. In the room were
several platforms. On Link's left was another door. The spaces in between the platforms
were wholes that lead to the first floor.
"Uh oh," Link thought. "The last time I was in a room like this, two Lizalfols attacked
me." Sure enough, two Lizalfols were in the room. Link pulled out his sword and
prepared to fight. The first Lizalfol leaped from platform to platform until it reached
Link. It swiped at Link but Link dodged the sword. Link swiped at the Lizalfol's
stomach, but the Lizalfol blocked the sword. The Lizalfol attack itself but Link turned
around and the blade hit shield. Link turned around and severed the Lizalfol's stomach.
The Lizalfol fell down holding its stomach.
The second Lizalfol came to try and avenge its comrade. Link ran as quickly as he could
with his injured leg at the Lizalfol. Link Ducked under the Lizalfol's sword and stabbed
the Lizalfol in the gut.
Link walked away from the two groaning Lizalfols and jumped to the door.
Another hallway and Link was in a room like the one with the flame and the eye. Link
took out his slingshot and shot the eye above the doorway. The flame vanished and Link
jumped on the platform. But past the platform was another platform with another flame.
Link turned to his left and saw another open eye in a hole in the wall. Link shot that eye
with his Slingshot too. The second flame disappeared and Link jumped to the doorway.
After another short hallway Link was in another room. Link was on a small wooden pier.
Link looked down and saw that he was right above the room with the spike balls. Link
looked ahead and saw a ledge with another doorway. On a higher ledge was a chest.
Link jumped to the first ledge then to the higher ledge. Link walked over to the chest and
opened it. It was a big chest so Link had to jump up to get what was inside. He pulled
out a bad. Link opened the bag and found several bombs.
"Cool. Now I don't need to worry about a Bomb Flower not being there when I need
one," said Link. Link put the bomb bag on his belt and left the room.
Link walked through another hallway when he reached the main cavern. Only this time
he was higher up. Higher than the giant skull. There was a small sign on a ledge by the
doorway. Link walked over to the sign and read:
Giant Dodongo
When it sees red
A new way to go
Will be open
"Giant Dodongo? That must be that huge skull down there. But what does it mean
'When it sees red a new way to go will be open? We need a new way to go. I don't see
any switch or anything. But there is that bridge over there. I think I see two holes in the
bridge right above the eye. Do we have anything red?" Link wondered to himself.
"The fire in an explosion in kind of red. You could drop bombs into the eyes. The worst
that could happen is that you blow up the skull and most likely anger every creature, at
least Dodongo, in this cavern. Therefore causing them to attack you," Navi speculated.
"Might as well give it a try," said Link.
Link walked over to the bridge and to the first hole. Link took a bomb from his bomb
bag and lit the fuse. Link aimed the bomb over the first eye and dropped it. The bomb
exploded in the eye causing the eye to turn red.
"You know Navi, you're pretty smart for a fairy," said Link. Navi turned red.
Link jumped over the first hole and over to the second. Link dropped another bomb into
the second eye causing the eye to turn red. The skull then opened its mouth opening a
new way to go. Link turned around and went to the ledge.
"Now we need to find a way down," said Link. Just then Link noticed a column of stone
rising up and down from the first floor to the top floor of the cavern. Link waited until
the column was at the top floor and rode it down to the bottom floor. Link landed on the
platform in the middle of the cavern, ran past the Beamos who shot a beam at Link, and
into the skull's mouth.
Link stepped into a room with a hole in the middle, a door with bars across it on the left
wall, a hole high up in the wall on the other side of the room, a hole lower to the ground
on the right wall, and two Fire Keese flying around the room. Link took out his slingshot
and shot the two Keese. Link jumped down from his own hole in the wall and walked
over to the hole in the floor. Link stepped on the switch in the hole and the bars on the
door disappeared. But as soon as Link stepped off the switch, the bars reappeared. Link
turned to his right and walked to the lower hole. He climbed up and walked into a small
hallway. After the hallway was a small room with two Keese in it. Link shot the two
Keese and went into the doorway across the room. There was another small hallway. At
the end of the hallway was a big block. Link pushed the block down into the first room.
He pushed the block into the hole in the middle of the room. The block hit the switch and
the bars disappeared from the door. Link walked over to the door and opened it.
Past the door was a big room with nothing in it. Link walked across the room. When he
got to the middle of the room the floor felt thinner. Link stomped on the floor and he
heard and echo. "There's something below here," said Link as he pulled a bomb from his
bag. He lit the fuse and set it on the floor. Link ran over to the other side of the room
and ducked. Link heard an explosion, got up, and turned around. There was a big gaping
hole in the middle of the room. Link walked over to the hole and looked down.
Suddenly, the floor Link was standing on fell! With Link along with it! Link fell down
and hit the ground below him. He checked himself over and found nothing was broken.
But the wound in his leg was hurting again.
Link heard a sound that sounded like giant footsteps on the ground.
"Link," said Navi nervously. "Turn around." Link turned around and he saw a Dodongo.
A Dodongo that was ten times big than the rest!
"Aaaah!" said Link as he turned to run. Unfortunately he found that the room was circled
with no way out but the hole above him. He also found that a huge pool of lava was in
the middle of the room. But Link still ran.
"Navi! What is that!" screamed Link.
"I think that is King Dodongo!" answered Navi who was flying just as fast as Link was
running. "He is the biggest of all Dodongos!"
"I could have figured that out by myself!"
King Dodongo rolled into a ball and rolled after Link and Navi. King Dodongo glanced
Link with one of his razor sharp scales as he rolled past Link and Navi. It knocked Link
down into the lava. Link jumped up before the lava completely burned off his left side
off. Link quickly looked at himself. His right arm was bloody and painful but he could
still use it. Most of Link's left side had second and third degree burns. Navi tried to ease
the pain but it still caused Link a tremendous amount of pain. Link pulled out his sword
with his right arm.
King Dodongo hit a far wall and got up on its feet and turned to Link. It opened its
mouth wide and took a huge breath. Link grabbed Navi and held on to her to keep her
from getting sucked into the Dodongo's mouth. King Dodongo finally closed his mouth.
Suddenly he opened his mouth again and shot fire at Link and Navi. Link turned around
and ran away from the flames. The flames got the back of his legs, but the Hylian Shield
protected his back. Link turned around and ran at the giant monster. Link raised his
sword high above his head and swung his sword at the King's leg. But the Dodongo's
scales protected it from Link's sword. King Dodongo lowered its head and picked Link
up. The Dodongo lowered its head further to the ground and threw Link across the room.
Link landed very hard, luckily, and the ground and not the lava. Link saw his sword right
by King Dodongo. But as he was thinking, it wouldn't help him very much.
While King was walking over to Link, Link said, "My sword didn't pierce his scales. I
need somehow to either attack him from inside, and I'm not letting him eat me, or I need
to attack him in the eyes. I can't climb on him because his scales are sharper than my
sword."
"I don't know. I agree with you. We need to find a way to attack from inside or attack
the eyes," said Navi. Link thought for a second when he said, "I know how to attack
from inside without actually getting in him."
Link ran over to King Dodongo and screamed, "COME ON YOU BIG DINOSAUR!
YOU COULDN'T COOK AN EGG! YOU THINK YOU'RE SO BAD? WHY DON'T
YOU COOK AND EAT ME!"
King Dodongo snarled and opened his mouth. He started to take a big breath. Link took
a bomb from his bag and lit the fuse. When King Dodongo started to breathe, Link threw
the bomb as hard as he could with his injured arm. The Dodongo's breath pulled the
bomb closer and into his mouth. When King Dodongo closed its mouth, there was a
muffled explosion inside King Dodongo.
"RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!" screamed the
Dodongo. King Dodongo started to walk all over the place until it stepped into the lava.
The Dodongo started to sink into the lava and burn. When all but its head and one claw
were above the lava, the lava somehow cooled and grew solid. Magic in the shape of a
heart and locked by metal appeared by the monster.
Before Link walked over to the magic, Link went over to get his sword and placed the tip
of it on the lava. The sword didn't burn so Link walked over to the magic and picked it
up. The magic flowed into Link and healed his wounds. Link looked behind him and
saw a blue shining ring on the cooled lava. Link stepped in the ring. Link was lifted up
until he was at the entrance to the Dodongo's Cavern.
"Finally," said Link. "Let's go get the Spiritual Stone of Fire from Darunia." Link turned
to go toward Goron City when something hit the grown. Link watched and saw Darunia
standing behind him.
"Good job Link!" said Darunia. Darunia patted on Link's head.
"Ow!" said Link as he was knocked to the ground.
"You've gotten rid of the monsters in Dodongo's Cavern. For this, you must become my
Sworn Brother!" declared Darunia.
"Um Ok. But there's a ritual involved I can't-," started Link.
"There's no ceremony involved!" interrupted Darunia. "Just take this is a sign of our
friendship." A glowing red light appeared above Darunia's head. There was a bright
flash of red light and Link was holding the Goron's Ruby!
"I advise you to see the Great Fairy on the top of Death Mountain. Come on! Let's give
Link a hero's goodbye!" said Darunia. Two Gorons dropped on either side of Link.
"Great job Link!" said one.
"How about a Goron hug!" said the other. The two Gorons opened their arms and
walked toward Link.
"Aaaah!" screamed Link. Link got up and turned around. He started to go to Kakariko
Village, but another Goron dropped in front of him and opened its arms. Link turned
around and headed up Death Mountain instead.
Before he reached Goron City Link saw several ledges that led up part of the mountain.
Link climbed up those. Link walked along a path that led up the mountain. But suddenly
the ground beneath Link's feet started to tremble. Link looked up and saw that huge
boulders were coming out of the top if Death Mountain! Link started running and
screaming at the top of his lungs. Link looked down and saw that his shadow was bigger
than it should be. Link looked up and saw a boulder heading straight for him! Link
ducked down and the boulder crumbled once it hit the Hylian Shield. Link got back up
and ran some more. Just then the rumbling stopped and the boulders weren't coming out
of Death Mountain. Link walked a few feet and the boulders came again. Link started to
run again. Once again Link ducked to protect himself from the boulders. Finally Link
got to a wall. The boulders immediately stopped. So did Link to catch his breath.
After a couple of minutes of resting, Link started to climb the wall when he saw a
Skullwalltala. Linked leaped down and pulled out his Slingshot and shot the
Skullwalltala. Link climbed up and sat on a ledge. Link looked up and saw two more
Skullwalltalas. Link shot those. Link then climbed t the top of Death Mountain. At the
top Link saw Kaepora Gaebora.
"Hello Link," said Kaepora Gaebora. "You have done well to come up here. This is the
summit of Death Mountain. They say that the clouds over Death Mountain reflect the
condition of Death Mountain. When they are normal, the mountain is at peace. Climbing
up here was a smart move Link. Now I want to see you make another smart move. The
Great Fairy lives atop this mountain. She is the leader of all fairies you know! Hoo! I
will wait here for you. When you need to go down, I will help you."
Link waved at Kaepora Gaebora and walked into the Great Fairy's Fountain. The room
was dark, lit by two torches. A fountain covered most of the room. In front of the
fountain was a picture of the Triforce. The Royal Emblem. Link took out his ocarina
and played Zelda's Lullaby. Link waited for a few seconds when he heard a high and
shrill (and annoying) laugh coming from the fountain. A half naked lady covered by
mere leaves raised out of the fountain and said, "Welcome! I am the Great Fairy of
Power! I will give you magic power and a sword technique! Receive it now!"
The Fairy spread her arms at Link. Light swirled out of her arms and landed on Link.
Link suddenly how to use magic to employ a sword move.
"Be careful when you use the spin attack! Your magic power will be decreased. If you
use it to much, you will lose the ability to use magic for a short period as your magic
charges back up!" The Great Fairy squinted her eyes at Link.
"Hey! You're a Royal Messenger aren't you! I have a friend who lives by the castle!
Her fountain is hidden behind a boulder! You should see her sometime! She will surely
teach you another technique! When battle has made you weary, come to see me and I
will heal your wounds," said the Great Fairy of Power. The Fairy then went back into her
fountain.
"By a friend she must mean another Great Fairy! I'm going to see her! Back up Navi. I
want to try this new sword technique," said Link. Link got in a crouching position
holding his sword out from him. Link concentrated and blue energy covered Link's
sword.
"Link! You're doing it!" exclaimed Navi. Link concentrated harder and the blue turned
into a bigger orange. Link then swirled on the ground. The energy formed a circle
around him and swept outward. Link got up and looked at himself.
"I fell empty. Well, not exactly empty. Just not as full. I think that was what the Great
Fairy meant when she said that using magic would decrease," said Link.
"Well let's get out of here and to that other Great Fairy. Any thing else that could help us
on our quest is welcome," said Navi. Link nodded in agreement and turned outside to
Kaepora Gaebora.
"OK Kaepora, I'm done," said Link when he got outside.
"Link! You look a little wiser and stronger from the visit with the Great Fairy. But not
the hero that will save Hyrule. At least, not yet! If you are heading down the mountain I
can help you. Grab on to my talons. But hold on tight! Hoot Hooooooo!" said Kaepora.
Kaepora jumped up and hovered above Link's head. Link grabbed the great owl's talons
and held on. Amazingly, Kaepora Gaebora had enough strength to fly with Link on it.
Kaepora flew down the mountain.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" screamed Link as he zoomed past a
rolling Goron. Kaepora then went higher.
"WHY ARE YOU GOING HIGHER!" yelled Link. Kaepora ignored him and went
down. Kaepora barely dodged huge spires of boulders and the cliff walls. Link could see
Kakariko Village in the distance. When Kaepora was right above one of the buildings
Link let go and dropped onto the house. Link suddenly felt tired and fell asleep right on
somebody's roof.
Navi quickly caught up to Link and saw him.
"Oh Link....."
To Be Continued...............
around Hyrule talking to people.
When Link entered Dodongo's cavern, he found another barrier blocking his path.
Fortunately, there were several Bomb Flowers in the room. Link picked one up and set it
by the wall of rock. Link ran to the other end of the room and covered his ears. He
ducked down. But he still felt the heat when the Bomb Flower exploded. He got up and
turned around. The wall was gone. Inside Dodongo's cavern was a huge head made of
stone..... at least, that's what Link hoped it was made from. He also saw a platform in the
middle of the cavern. On the platform that looked like a machine with an eye on top.
Surrounding the middle platform, were smaller platforms that were moving up and down
through the lava below. Several things that looked like bats were flying around the room.
Their bodies were on fire, yet they showed no pain.
"Navi, what are those things flying around the cavern?" Link asked.
"They are Fire Keese. Their bodies are supposed to be on fire," answered Navi.
"What's the thing with the eye?" Link asked Navi.
"That is a Beamos. Watch out for the beam it shoots out its eye when you get close,"
advised Navi.
Link walked into Dodongo's Cavern. He looked around some more. Suddenly, a Fire
Keese flew at him. Link ducked down and the Fire Keese hit his Hylian shield on his
back. Link got up and found a bat hovering by Link. "Now the Fire Keese is a regular
Keese," informed Navi. Link pulled out his sword and sliced the Keese down the middle.
Link looked around wondering where to go. On either side of the cavern, the sides were
jutting out from the wall. On each side of the wall was a door, and a Beamos. The door
on the left side of the cavern was covered with bars. But the door on the right side didn't
have anything covering it. Link looked down and saw that he could keep from touching
the lava if he stayed close to the side of the wall.
Link jumped down the platform he was on and turned toward the right. He stayed close
to the wall and circled around the side of the wall. When he was done he saw a ladder
leading up the wall. Link climbed it and was on the platform. He looked ahead and saw
the Beamos. By the Beamos was a Bomb Flower. Link walked up to the Bomb Flower
and picked it up. He threw it at the Beamos. When the Bomb Flower exploded, the part
of the Beamos below the eye exploded too. The eye flew through the air and hit the
ground. The eye then exploded. Link walked up to the door and found that it was high
up the cavern wall. Link jumped up and tried to reach it, but he couldn't. Link took out
his Deku Stick and tried to see if he could climb up that, but it failed.
"Can you lift me up Navi? I can't reach the door," said Link. Navi tried but Link didn't
go any higher than and inch. "I'm sorry. You're too heavy," said Navi.
Link walked around the wall when he saw that part of it looked like it wasn't very sturdy.
Link tapped on it and he heard and echo. "I wish I could get rid of this part of the wall.
But I have nothing that would remove it," said Link. He looked around and saw that the
Bomb Flower Link had used had grown back. Link walked over to it, picked it up, and
ran to the part of the wall that could be destroyed. Link set the Bomb Flower by the wall
and ran away. The Bomb Flower exploded, destroying the wall.
Link walked through and found himself in a hallway. He looked around when suddenly
he was hit from behind. He looked around and saw something that was about two inches
high and a foot long. It didn't have legs but it slithered pretty quickly and it was able to
leap into the air.
"Link, that's a Baby Dodongo! They attack by leading or biting or both! Watch out
when you kill it! When a Dodongo dies they blow up so hopefully the explosion will
take care of their enemy," advised Navi. The Baby Dodongo came back toward Link. It
leaped at Link but Link stabbed it through the head. The Dodongo fell on the ground.
Link ran away from the Baby Dodongo as he heard it blow up behind him. Just as Link
was about to take a breath, five more Baby Dodongos attacked him! The first one tried to
bite Link in the foot, but Link kicked it away temporarily. Another jumped at Link, but
Link stabbed it in the stomach. It hit the ground and Link ran away. It blew up. That left
four more (counting the one Link kicked). One Baby Dodongo bit Link in the back, but
Link pulled it off and cut it in half. Both pieces blew up. The Dodongo that Link kicked
got up and flew at Link, but Link hit at with the flat of his blade killing it. The dead
Dodongo hit the other two Dodongos. When that Dodongo blew up, the other two did
also.
"Good job, Link!" exclaimed Navi. Link smiled and then grimaced in pain as his back
hurt from the Dodongo's bite. Link walked along the hallway and found himself at a
door with bars across it. Link saw a statue by a switch. Link walked over to the switch
and stepped on it. The bars across the door disappeared. But when Link stepped off the
switch, the bars went across the door again. "You need to put something heavy on the
switch to open the door," said Navi. Link walked over to the statue and pulled it on the
switch. The bars disappeared again. Link walked toward the door and opened it. Inside
was another hallway. There was a Keese on either side of the hall. Link quietly took out
his slingshot and shot both of them. Link walked through the hallway and opened the
door.
The room was filled with lava. On top of the lava were several platforms. To Link's left,
on another platform, was a door. On two other platforms, were two lizard like creatures
with a metal shield and a small sword. "Navi, what are those?" Link asked nervously.
"Those are Lizalfols. They are a warrior lizard race," answered Navi.
One of the Lizalfols jumped from platform to platform until he was on Link's platform.
Link pulled out his sword. The Lizalfols swipe at Link. Link didn't expect it so he
ducked. The sword hit the Hylian Shield on Link's back. Link got up and tried to stab
the Lizalfol. But the Lizalfol jumped back dodging the sword. Link tried again but the
Lizalfol parried Link's sword with its own. The Lizalfol attacked Link but Link again
duck from the blade. Quickly, Link jumped up and stabbed the Lizalfol in the throat.
"One down, one to go," said Link as the other Lizalfol jumped toward Link.
The second Lizalfol leaped over Link and stabbed at the back of Link's throat. But Link
swiftly turned around and knocked the Lizalfol's blade away. Link then swiped his
sword at the Lizalfol's left leg, slicing it off. The Lizalfol fell down on his left side. Link
brought his sword down on the Lizalfol's throat, killing it instantly. Link looked down at
the two Lizalfols. Link turned around and jumped from platform to platform until he
reached the door.
Link found himself in yet another hallway. Link walked down the hallway until he
reached another room. He looked around and saw several pillars in a straight line that
went from the bottom of the ground to the top of the ceiling. Link also saw creatures
with scales all over. They had two legs in the front that pulled their whole body around.
"I'm guessing that those are the full grown Dodongos?" Link asked Navi. Navi answered
yes.
Link ran over to the first Dodongo. He brought his sword down on the Dodongo's head.
His sword just bounced off. The Dodongo turned and hit Link with it tail. Link was
knocked into the wall. Link painfully got up and turned toward the Dodongo. "Navi, do
these things have any weaknesses?" Link questioned.
"Their tail is the only part of their body without armor. And I guess a Bomb Flower
would be able to get through the armor," answered Navi.
Link ran again at the Dodongo. The Dodongo opened its mouth and a stream of fire
came out. Link jumped to the right to dodge the fire. Link ran at the Dodongo's tail.
Link cut at the tail. Unfortunately, the sword cut through only an inch of the tail. But it
was enough because the Dodongo roared in pain. Link ran over to a Bomb Flower that
was nearby and threw t at the Dodongo. The Bomb Flower blew, killing the Dodongo.
Then the Dodongo blew up itself. Link did the same thing with the other Dodongos. Hit
them in the tail. Then blew them up with a Bomb Flower.
On the other side of the room was a door covered in bars. Link looked around for a
switch, but there were none. "How do I get past the bars?" asked Link.
"I don't know. I think there might be something you need to do. Like light the three
torches," answered Navi. Link looked around and there were three torches. Link walked
back to the entrance and found a lit torch by the door. Link pulled out his Deku Stick.
He put the tip of the stick to the fire. The stick lit. Link ran to the first torch. He lit the
torch. He lit the second and third torches too. Link quickly put out the fire on the Deku
Stick. He then put the stick away. Link looked at the door and saw that the bars were
gone.
Link saw that he was in another hallway. It was short though. At the end of the hallway
was a switch. Link stepped on it. Link looked ahead and saw the he was in the main
cavern. On the other side of the cavern the bars on a door disappeared. Link jumped
down and found himself at the door he tried to get too earlier. Link walked back to the
other side of the cavern and entered the door.
Inside the room was a huge block of stone. Surrounding the block of stone were Bomb
Flowers. A lot of Bomb Flowers. There was also one lonesome Bomb Flower on one
side of the room. Link walked over to it. Link turned around and saw the only break in
the Bomb Flowers.
"Navi, what would happen if I placed this Bomb Flower over there?" asked Link.
"That Bomb Flower would explode. The explosion would cause the Bomb Flowers on
either side of it to explode. The explosions would cause the block of stone to collapse,"
answered Navi.
Link picked up the Bomb Flower and set it in the space in between two Bomb Flowers.
"Link, what are doing!" yelled Navi. Navi flew under Link's hat as Link ran away from
the big block of stone. Once the Bomb Flower exploded, the other Bomb Flowers
exploded causing mayhem and chaos.
In Kakariko Village:
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Huge explosions rocked Death Mountain.
Boulders were falling down Death Mountain. Soldiers were getting ready for a battle
from some unknown enemy. But after ten seconds that seemed to last ten minutes, all
was quiet.
In Goron City:
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Explosion rocked Goron City. Pieces of the
ceiling were falling down. Chunks of the several layers of Goron City were being
dislodged. Gorons everywhere were going into defensive mode and rolling up into a ball.
But finally the explosions stopped.
Back in Dodongo's Cavern:
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" screamed Link. The Bomb
Flowers exploded. Pieces of the room were falling off. Fire was everywhere. But finally
it all stopped. Link looked up and saw that the block of stone was turned into a giant
staircase. Navi flew out from under Link's hat.
"SEE WHAT'VE YOU DONE!" screamed Navi.
"What? Found the way to the next room?" asked Link. Navi looked at the giant
staircase.
"Oh."
Link started to climb the staircase. He would grab the top of one step and pull himself
up. Once he got to the top, he was tired out. But he got on his feet and continued on.
There was a steep bridge leading to a platform that was connected to the top of the wall.
Link climbed up on there and looked to his left. There was a door. Link entered the
door.
Inside the room was a platform in the middle of it. Two Fire Keese were flying around.
Circling the platform were several statues. Link pulled out his slingshot and shot both the
Fire Keese. Link saw a door with bars across it. Link looked around for a switch or
something. While he was looking for a switch he bumped into a statue. When he did, he
was thrown onto the floor. When Link looked up he saw that the statue had come to life!
Link pulled out his sword. Link ran at the statue and hit it with his sword. But it did
nothing! The statue hit Link with its head, sending Link over to the wall. Link looked
and saw that he had landed by a Bomb Flower. Link picked the Bomb Flower up and
threw it at the statue. The Bomb Flower Blew up the statue. Link just sat on his rear for
a few seconds to register what had just happen. Then he got up and said, "Nothing can
take me down."
"You're getting cocky," replied Navi.
Link continued to look for a switch when he found a ladder leading up the platform. But
it was behind a statue! Link went over to a Bomb Flower nearby. He pulled out his
slingshot and shot the statue. It didn't move. Link waited a few more until he put his
slingshot away and walked to the statue. Link grabbed the statue and pulled it away from
the ladder. Link climbed the ladder and found a switch on top the platform. He stepped
on it and the bars across the door disappeared. Link walked over to the door and opened
it.
Just a little bit ahead of Link was bridge. But blocking the bridge were two Fire Keese.
Link took out his Slingshot and shot them. He them walked along the bridge. Halfway
across the bridge Link just dropped. "Navi! Help!" cried Link as he fell to the first floor
of the cavern. Navi flew down the hole to Link. When she was level to Link she used all
of her power to send Link back up to the bridge, on the other side of the hole of course.
"Tanks Navi," said Link.
On the other side of the bridge was a door. Link opened it and entered the room. He was
on a small ledge. Leading down the ledge was a ladder. Link climbed down the ladder.
The room had several walls in it. But in an almost straight line was a ladder leading up to
a different ledge. Link walked over to the ladder when something hit him. Link toppled
to the floor. Link felt a stabbing pain in his leg. He looked at his leg and there was a
huge gaping hole in his leg. It was bleeding a large amount. Navi flew over to him.
"Link! Do you have something to cover that?" asked Navi.
"Can't you just uuun-," Link groaned. "Can't you just heal it with your magic?"
"Lifting you up from that hole took most of my strength. Most of what I can do is relieve
the pain," answered Navi.
"THEN DO THAT!" yelled Link.
Navi quickly took some of the pain away as Link tore a strip from his shirt.
"Tie it over the wound," advised Navi. Link put the strip on top of the wound and tied
the strip of his shirt. The pain increased a little but the bleeding slowed and soon
stopped.
"What hit me?" Link wondered. Just then a piece of metal with spikes all over it zoomed
past Link. One of the spikes had blood on it.
"I would advise to be careful in here. Make sure any more of these won't hit you," said
Navi.
Link got up and went to one of the walls. He waited until another of the spike balls went
past until he swiftly walked to the ladder. Climbing up the ladder cause excruciating
pain, but Link did it without complaining. When he climbed to the top of the ladder, he
found that the exit was blocked by a stonewall. Link stood on a small ledge that was in
front of the wall. Link looked across and saw a Bomb Flower on a small platform. All
Link had to do was jump across.
"Navi, do you have enough strength left to help me get across the space between here, the
ledge, and back?" Link asked Navi.
"I might. But if I fail you might hurt yourself even more from the fall," answered Navi.
Link groaned and he jumped. He felt himself falling before he got to the ledge, but then
he felt something carrying him farther. When Link was across the space he picked up the
Bomb Flower at the stonewall. But the Bomb Flower bounced off the wall and hit the
floor below before it exploded. The Bomb Flower exploded on the floor.
"Now how do I get rid of the wall? If I had any bombs it wouldn't be as big as a problem
since I would more then likely have more than one. But I don't," speculated Link.
"Link, look," said Navi. Link looked and saw that the Bomb Flower had grown back.
"Good thing they grow back quickly," muttered Link. Link picked up the Bomb Flower
but timed it so that by the time the Bomb Flower would get to the door, the Bomb Flower
would explode. The Bomb Flower exploded destroying the wall revealing a doorway.
Link jumped across with a little help from Navi and walked into the doorway.
There was another small hallway when Link entered another room. Link was on another
small ledge. In the middle of the room was a platform with a flame on it. On the other
side of the flame was a ledge. Over the doorway on the other side was a small open eye.
Link remembered something like this from the Great Deku Tree. Link pulled out his
Slingshot and shot the eye. The eye closed and the fire disappeared. Link jumped on the
platform, again with small help from Navi although less than last time, and onto the ledge
on the other side. Link entered the doorway.
Link entered another hallway. While Link was walking, three Baby Dodongos jumped
out of the sand. One leaped at link but Link sidestepped it and cut the Dodongo in half.
The next one Link stabbed in the stomach. The last one got sword in its mouth.
There was a door at the end of the hallway. Link opened a door. In the room were
several platforms. On Link's left was another door. The spaces in between the platforms
were wholes that lead to the first floor.
"Uh oh," Link thought. "The last time I was in a room like this, two Lizalfols attacked
me." Sure enough, two Lizalfols were in the room. Link pulled out his sword and
prepared to fight. The first Lizalfol leaped from platform to platform until it reached
Link. It swiped at Link but Link dodged the sword. Link swiped at the Lizalfol's
stomach, but the Lizalfol blocked the sword. The Lizalfol attack itself but Link turned
around and the blade hit shield. Link turned around and severed the Lizalfol's stomach.
The Lizalfol fell down holding its stomach.
The second Lizalfol came to try and avenge its comrade. Link ran as quickly as he could
with his injured leg at the Lizalfol. Link Ducked under the Lizalfol's sword and stabbed
the Lizalfol in the gut.
Link walked away from the two groaning Lizalfols and jumped to the door.
Another hallway and Link was in a room like the one with the flame and the eye. Link
took out his slingshot and shot the eye above the doorway. The flame vanished and Link
jumped on the platform. But past the platform was another platform with another flame.
Link turned to his left and saw another open eye in a hole in the wall. Link shot that eye
with his Slingshot too. The second flame disappeared and Link jumped to the doorway.
After another short hallway Link was in another room. Link was on a small wooden pier.
Link looked down and saw that he was right above the room with the spike balls. Link
looked ahead and saw a ledge with another doorway. On a higher ledge was a chest.
Link jumped to the first ledge then to the higher ledge. Link walked over to the chest and
opened it. It was a big chest so Link had to jump up to get what was inside. He pulled
out a bad. Link opened the bag and found several bombs.
"Cool. Now I don't need to worry about a Bomb Flower not being there when I need
one," said Link. Link put the bomb bag on his belt and left the room.
Link walked through another hallway when he reached the main cavern. Only this time
he was higher up. Higher than the giant skull. There was a small sign on a ledge by the
doorway. Link walked over to the sign and read:
Giant Dodongo
When it sees red
A new way to go
Will be open
"Giant Dodongo? That must be that huge skull down there. But what does it mean
'When it sees red a new way to go will be open? We need a new way to go. I don't see
any switch or anything. But there is that bridge over there. I think I see two holes in the
bridge right above the eye. Do we have anything red?" Link wondered to himself.
"The fire in an explosion in kind of red. You could drop bombs into the eyes. The worst
that could happen is that you blow up the skull and most likely anger every creature, at
least Dodongo, in this cavern. Therefore causing them to attack you," Navi speculated.
"Might as well give it a try," said Link.
Link walked over to the bridge and to the first hole. Link took a bomb from his bomb
bag and lit the fuse. Link aimed the bomb over the first eye and dropped it. The bomb
exploded in the eye causing the eye to turn red.
"You know Navi, you're pretty smart for a fairy," said Link. Navi turned red.
Link jumped over the first hole and over to the second. Link dropped another bomb into
the second eye causing the eye to turn red. The skull then opened its mouth opening a
new way to go. Link turned around and went to the ledge.
"Now we need to find a way down," said Link. Just then Link noticed a column of stone
rising up and down from the first floor to the top floor of the cavern. Link waited until
the column was at the top floor and rode it down to the bottom floor. Link landed on the
platform in the middle of the cavern, ran past the Beamos who shot a beam at Link, and
into the skull's mouth.
Link stepped into a room with a hole in the middle, a door with bars across it on the left
wall, a hole high up in the wall on the other side of the room, a hole lower to the ground
on the right wall, and two Fire Keese flying around the room. Link took out his slingshot
and shot the two Keese. Link jumped down from his own hole in the wall and walked
over to the hole in the floor. Link stepped on the switch in the hole and the bars on the
door disappeared. But as soon as Link stepped off the switch, the bars reappeared. Link
turned to his right and walked to the lower hole. He climbed up and walked into a small
hallway. After the hallway was a small room with two Keese in it. Link shot the two
Keese and went into the doorway across the room. There was another small hallway. At
the end of the hallway was a big block. Link pushed the block down into the first room.
He pushed the block into the hole in the middle of the room. The block hit the switch and
the bars disappeared from the door. Link walked over to the door and opened it.
Past the door was a big room with nothing in it. Link walked across the room. When he
got to the middle of the room the floor felt thinner. Link stomped on the floor and he
heard and echo. "There's something below here," said Link as he pulled a bomb from his
bag. He lit the fuse and set it on the floor. Link ran over to the other side of the room
and ducked. Link heard an explosion, got up, and turned around. There was a big gaping
hole in the middle of the room. Link walked over to the hole and looked down.
Suddenly, the floor Link was standing on fell! With Link along with it! Link fell down
and hit the ground below him. He checked himself over and found nothing was broken.
But the wound in his leg was hurting again.
Link heard a sound that sounded like giant footsteps on the ground.
"Link," said Navi nervously. "Turn around." Link turned around and he saw a Dodongo.
A Dodongo that was ten times big than the rest!
"Aaaah!" said Link as he turned to run. Unfortunately he found that the room was circled
with no way out but the hole above him. He also found that a huge pool of lava was in
the middle of the room. But Link still ran.
"Navi! What is that!" screamed Link.
"I think that is King Dodongo!" answered Navi who was flying just as fast as Link was
running. "He is the biggest of all Dodongos!"
"I could have figured that out by myself!"
King Dodongo rolled into a ball and rolled after Link and Navi. King Dodongo glanced
Link with one of his razor sharp scales as he rolled past Link and Navi. It knocked Link
down into the lava. Link jumped up before the lava completely burned off his left side
off. Link quickly looked at himself. His right arm was bloody and painful but he could
still use it. Most of Link's left side had second and third degree burns. Navi tried to ease
the pain but it still caused Link a tremendous amount of pain. Link pulled out his sword
with his right arm.
King Dodongo hit a far wall and got up on its feet and turned to Link. It opened its
mouth wide and took a huge breath. Link grabbed Navi and held on to her to keep her
from getting sucked into the Dodongo's mouth. King Dodongo finally closed his mouth.
Suddenly he opened his mouth again and shot fire at Link and Navi. Link turned around
and ran away from the flames. The flames got the back of his legs, but the Hylian Shield
protected his back. Link turned around and ran at the giant monster. Link raised his
sword high above his head and swung his sword at the King's leg. But the Dodongo's
scales protected it from Link's sword. King Dodongo lowered its head and picked Link
up. The Dodongo lowered its head further to the ground and threw Link across the room.
Link landed very hard, luckily, and the ground and not the lava. Link saw his sword right
by King Dodongo. But as he was thinking, it wouldn't help him very much.
While King was walking over to Link, Link said, "My sword didn't pierce his scales. I
need somehow to either attack him from inside, and I'm not letting him eat me, or I need
to attack him in the eyes. I can't climb on him because his scales are sharper than my
sword."
"I don't know. I agree with you. We need to find a way to attack from inside or attack
the eyes," said Navi. Link thought for a second when he said, "I know how to attack
from inside without actually getting in him."
Link ran over to King Dodongo and screamed, "COME ON YOU BIG DINOSAUR!
YOU COULDN'T COOK AN EGG! YOU THINK YOU'RE SO BAD? WHY DON'T
YOU COOK AND EAT ME!"
King Dodongo snarled and opened his mouth. He started to take a big breath. Link took
a bomb from his bag and lit the fuse. When King Dodongo started to breathe, Link threw
the bomb as hard as he could with his injured arm. The Dodongo's breath pulled the
bomb closer and into his mouth. When King Dodongo closed its mouth, there was a
muffled explosion inside King Dodongo.
"RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!" screamed the
Dodongo. King Dodongo started to walk all over the place until it stepped into the lava.
The Dodongo started to sink into the lava and burn. When all but its head and one claw
were above the lava, the lava somehow cooled and grew solid. Magic in the shape of a
heart and locked by metal appeared by the monster.
Before Link walked over to the magic, Link went over to get his sword and placed the tip
of it on the lava. The sword didn't burn so Link walked over to the magic and picked it
up. The magic flowed into Link and healed his wounds. Link looked behind him and
saw a blue shining ring on the cooled lava. Link stepped in the ring. Link was lifted up
until he was at the entrance to the Dodongo's Cavern.
"Finally," said Link. "Let's go get the Spiritual Stone of Fire from Darunia." Link turned
to go toward Goron City when something hit the grown. Link watched and saw Darunia
standing behind him.
"Good job Link!" said Darunia. Darunia patted on Link's head.
"Ow!" said Link as he was knocked to the ground.
"You've gotten rid of the monsters in Dodongo's Cavern. For this, you must become my
Sworn Brother!" declared Darunia.
"Um Ok. But there's a ritual involved I can't-," started Link.
"There's no ceremony involved!" interrupted Darunia. "Just take this is a sign of our
friendship." A glowing red light appeared above Darunia's head. There was a bright
flash of red light and Link was holding the Goron's Ruby!
"I advise you to see the Great Fairy on the top of Death Mountain. Come on! Let's give
Link a hero's goodbye!" said Darunia. Two Gorons dropped on either side of Link.
"Great job Link!" said one.
"How about a Goron hug!" said the other. The two Gorons opened their arms and
walked toward Link.
"Aaaah!" screamed Link. Link got up and turned around. He started to go to Kakariko
Village, but another Goron dropped in front of him and opened its arms. Link turned
around and headed up Death Mountain instead.
Before he reached Goron City Link saw several ledges that led up part of the mountain.
Link climbed up those. Link walked along a path that led up the mountain. But suddenly
the ground beneath Link's feet started to tremble. Link looked up and saw that huge
boulders were coming out of the top if Death Mountain! Link started running and
screaming at the top of his lungs. Link looked down and saw that his shadow was bigger
than it should be. Link looked up and saw a boulder heading straight for him! Link
ducked down and the boulder crumbled once it hit the Hylian Shield. Link got back up
and ran some more. Just then the rumbling stopped and the boulders weren't coming out
of Death Mountain. Link walked a few feet and the boulders came again. Link started to
run again. Once again Link ducked to protect himself from the boulders. Finally Link
got to a wall. The boulders immediately stopped. So did Link to catch his breath.
After a couple of minutes of resting, Link started to climb the wall when he saw a
Skullwalltala. Linked leaped down and pulled out his Slingshot and shot the
Skullwalltala. Link climbed up and sat on a ledge. Link looked up and saw two more
Skullwalltalas. Link shot those. Link then climbed t the top of Death Mountain. At the
top Link saw Kaepora Gaebora.
"Hello Link," said Kaepora Gaebora. "You have done well to come up here. This is the
summit of Death Mountain. They say that the clouds over Death Mountain reflect the
condition of Death Mountain. When they are normal, the mountain is at peace. Climbing
up here was a smart move Link. Now I want to see you make another smart move. The
Great Fairy lives atop this mountain. She is the leader of all fairies you know! Hoo! I
will wait here for you. When you need to go down, I will help you."
Link waved at Kaepora Gaebora and walked into the Great Fairy's Fountain. The room
was dark, lit by two torches. A fountain covered most of the room. In front of the
fountain was a picture of the Triforce. The Royal Emblem. Link took out his ocarina
and played Zelda's Lullaby. Link waited for a few seconds when he heard a high and
shrill (and annoying) laugh coming from the fountain. A half naked lady covered by
mere leaves raised out of the fountain and said, "Welcome! I am the Great Fairy of
Power! I will give you magic power and a sword technique! Receive it now!"
The Fairy spread her arms at Link. Light swirled out of her arms and landed on Link.
Link suddenly how to use magic to employ a sword move.
"Be careful when you use the spin attack! Your magic power will be decreased. If you
use it to much, you will lose the ability to use magic for a short period as your magic
charges back up!" The Great Fairy squinted her eyes at Link.
"Hey! You're a Royal Messenger aren't you! I have a friend who lives by the castle!
Her fountain is hidden behind a boulder! You should see her sometime! She will surely
teach you another technique! When battle has made you weary, come to see me and I
will heal your wounds," said the Great Fairy of Power. The Fairy then went back into her
fountain.
"By a friend she must mean another Great Fairy! I'm going to see her! Back up Navi. I
want to try this new sword technique," said Link. Link got in a crouching position
holding his sword out from him. Link concentrated and blue energy covered Link's
sword.
"Link! You're doing it!" exclaimed Navi. Link concentrated harder and the blue turned
into a bigger orange. Link then swirled on the ground. The energy formed a circle
around him and swept outward. Link got up and looked at himself.
"I fell empty. Well, not exactly empty. Just not as full. I think that was what the Great
Fairy meant when she said that using magic would decrease," said Link.
"Well let's get out of here and to that other Great Fairy. Any thing else that could help us
on our quest is welcome," said Navi. Link nodded in agreement and turned outside to
Kaepora Gaebora.
"OK Kaepora, I'm done," said Link when he got outside.
"Link! You look a little wiser and stronger from the visit with the Great Fairy. But not
the hero that will save Hyrule. At least, not yet! If you are heading down the mountain I
can help you. Grab on to my talons. But hold on tight! Hoot Hooooooo!" said Kaepora.
Kaepora jumped up and hovered above Link's head. Link grabbed the great owl's talons
and held on. Amazingly, Kaepora Gaebora had enough strength to fly with Link on it.
Kaepora flew down the mountain.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" screamed Link as he zoomed past a
rolling Goron. Kaepora then went higher.
"WHY ARE YOU GOING HIGHER!" yelled Link. Kaepora ignored him and went
down. Kaepora barely dodged huge spires of boulders and the cliff walls. Link could see
Kakariko Village in the distance. When Kaepora was right above one of the buildings
Link let go and dropped onto the house. Link suddenly felt tired and fell asleep right on
somebody's roof.
Navi quickly caught up to Link and saw him.
"Oh Link....."
