Link and Zelda left Goron City and went to a cliff overlooking Dodongo's Cavern. They saw a bomb flower growing in the shade of a sleeping Goron. Link plucked the bomb flower and threw it off of the cliff. It landed on the giant rock blocking the cavern and destroyed it.
The explosion woke up the Goron sleeping next to them. He saw the bomb flower was gone and saw the giant rock in front of the cavern was destroyed. "Why didn't we think of that" asked the Goron
He then went back to sleep.
"I think the starvation has affected their minds" said Link
Zelda nodded her head at that.
They walked down the trail and entered the cavern. They ran into a cracked wall and saw bomb flowers growing on either side of it. Link plucked one of the bombs and placed it in front of the cracked wall. It exploded destroying the wall and allowing them to go on further.
They walked into a large room with a giant skull on the other side. There was a large platform below the skull with three smaller platforms around it that were going up and down. They looked at the bottom of the cavern and saw it was lava.
"We are going to have to jump across the lava a lot aren't we" asked Zelda
"It looks like it" said Link
"At least we don't have to cross it on a giant stone ball" he said
"So how do we cleanse this place Mr. Expert" asked Zelda
"We find the weapon hidden in here and use it to kill the monster that He put here" said Link
"We are going to have to explore this entire place to do that" he said
Zelda just nodded her head at that.
They jumped onto the smaller platform and then onto the center platform. They avoided the beam from the Beamos and made it to the right side of the room. Link plucked a bomb flower and threw it at the Beamos on the right side to destroy it. He then plucked another one and placed it near the breakable wall near the entrance of the cavern. It exploded allowing them to go into the next room.
As they were walking down the jagged corridor they heard a digging sound. They saw multiple Baby Dodongos come out of the ground and slither towards them. They easily took care of them with their swords. But when they started to turn red, Link and Zelda jumped back with their shields in front of them as the dead Baby Dodongos exploded.
"I guess they like to go out with a bang" said Link
Zelda just hit him on the shoulder for that remark.
They walked to the end of the corridor and pushed a statue onto a switch which raised the bars blocking the door.
They went through the door and quickly though the small corridor and into a large room with multiple platforms floating on lava.
Once they stepped on the first platform they both heard two shrieks. They looked as two Lizalfos landed on the platforms on either side of them. They were wearing minimal armor and carrying a sword. Link and Zelda looked at each other and nodded as they each jumped onto a platform to deal with them. Link took the left one while Zelda took the right one.
Once Link was on the same platform as the Lizalfos it attacked with its sword that Link blocked with his shield. Link thrust his sword forward striking the Lizalfos. It back off a little before it charged again. After striking it a few more times it started jumping across the platforms to escape causing Link to chase after it.
When Zelda landed on the platform she had to bring up her shield to block a strike from the Lizalfos that she returned. After trading a few more blows this Lizalfos retreated as well and Zelda chased after it.
Both Lizalfos landed on the same platform and saw Link and Zelda on either side of them. They both jumped hoping to get a height advantage only for Link and Zelda to dodge it and finally kill them.
The bars rose up and allowed them to go onto the next room.
They came into a dark corridor where they saw a Dodongo breathing fire. "How are we supposed to kill that" asked Zelda
"I don't know" said Link
"You attack the front and I will attack the back" he said
"Alright" said Zelda
Zelda jumped in front of the Dodongo while Link sneaked around to its back. He struck its tail with his sword causing it to roar in pain and swing its tail causing them to jump back. "Its tail is its weak point" said Link
Zelda nodded her head and struck the tail that was near her now causing it to swing it back. After a few more hits the Dodongo stopped moving. Link and Zelda backed away with their shields in front of them in case it exploded, which it did.
They continued down the corridor killing two more Dodongos until they came to the end. But they saw the door was still locked. "Why is the door still locked" asked Zelda
"Didn't we kill everything in here" she asked
Link looked around and saw some unlit torches. "We have to light those torches to open the door" said Link
He ran back to the beginning of the corridor and lit a Deku Stick. He then came back lighting the torches along the way. This raised the bars and they continued on their way.
They came to a small area that was near where they started with a switch that they stepped on. It unlocked the door on the left side of the main room.
They quickly made their way to the left side of the room and went through the door. They saw rows of bomb flowers surrounding a tower of stone. They noticed a gap in the rows and a single bomb flower near them. Link plucked the bomb and placed it in the gap. They then back up and watched as it exploded. This caused the bomb flowers on either sided to explode which set off a chain reaction destroyed the tower of stone. This caused a set of stone stairs to fall down allowing them to get to the second floor.
After climbing the stairs they came into a circular room with statues surrounding a small pillar in the center. They saw Fire Keese flying around the room as well. "Oh great Fire Keese" sighed Link
"I lost more shields to those damn things" he grumbled
Zelda started giggling at that. "It's not funny" shouted Link
"Do you know how many Rupees I went through replacing them" he shouted
Zelda just patted Link on the shoulder saying "Don't worry, I will protect you from the big, bad, Keese"
Link just started grumbling about ungrateful goddesses while Zelda went to go kill the Fire Keese.
While Zelda was killing the Fire Keese, Link inspected the small pillar in the center of the room. He saw a ladder behind one of the statues and pulled it back. He climbed up the ladder and stepped on the switch there that opened up the door.
They went through the door and came to a bridge that went over the main part of the cavern. Link killed some Fire Keese he saw with his Slingshot before they crossed the bridge and went into the next room.
They stopped short on a ledge and looked down to see tall walls and blade traps moving across the floor. They jumped into the room and carefully made their way through it. At the other end of the room they saw a block pushed all the way into the wall with a ladder above it. They looked up and saw a cracked wall blocking the way out of the room. Link pulled out the block and quickly climbed up the ladder. He jumped from the tiny ledge and landed on a small pillar. He plucked a bomb flower and threw it at the cracked wall destroying it. He then jumped back across as Zelda climbed up the ladder.
In the next room they saw their path blocked by a row of flames. Link saw a switch on the other side of the room and hit it with his Slingshot. This caused the flames to go away allowing them to cross the room. But before they left the room they saw the flames roar back to life.
They went through a hallway killing more Baby Dodongos and came into another lava filled room with large platforms floating on top. But this time there was a lava fall at one end of the room.
As they stepped onto the first platform they saw another pair of Lizalfos appear. They both separated and took care of the Lizalfos before continuing on.
They came into another room with the path blocked by fire. But this time it was blocked by two rows of fire. Link hit the first switch putting out the first fire. They made their way further into the room and quickly started looking around for the second switch. Link found it and hit it with his Slingshot. They barely made it out of the room as both fires roared back to life.
In the next room they came up to a large treasure chest. Link opened it and took out the Bomb Bag. "It's Bombs" said Link
"I guess we will have to kill a heavily armored monster then" he said
"All we need to do is find it" said Zelda
They left the room and came out to another bridge that crossed the central room. This time it went over the large skull and two holes in it were the eyes were. Link saw a switch and stepped on it causing one of the pillars in the lava to rise up to the second level before going back down.
Zelda saw an inscription and went over to read it. "When the skull's eyes are red with fire, a new path shall be opened" Zelda read a loud
"We must have to drop bombs into the skull's eyes to open the path to the monster" said Link
They went across the bridge and dropped a bomb into each of the skull's eyes. The skull's eyes lit up and its lower jaw lowered to the ground revealing a new path.
They went back to the pillar and jumped on it. They rode it down to the bottom floor and went through the skull's mouth.
They came into a square room and saw a hole in the middle of the floor and the door on the other end was locked. They looked around and saw a block sitting on the edge of a ledge.
They made their way through a ring of connected rooms and pushed the block off the edge. They then pushed the block into the center hole and the door opened up.
They went through the door and came into a small room with nothing in it. They both closely inspected the room and Link saw that the floor was cracked. He took out a bomb and placed it in the center of the room and they both backed up. The bomb exploded and destroyed the floor.
"Ready" asked Link holding out his hand
"Yes" said Zelda taking Link's hand
They then both jumped down into the chamber below.
They landed in a large chamber filled with lava. Only a small path around the edge of the chamber was safe to walk on. They both heard a loud roar and turned around to see King Dodongo behind them.
"So how do we kill it" asked Zelda
"We have to see how it attacks to see if it will reveal any weaknesses" said Link
King Dodongo opened his mouth and started charging up a large fireball and shot it. Link and Zelda quickly jumped to the side and dodged it.
Then King Dodongo rolled up into a ball and started barreling towards Link and Zelda. They jumped to the edge of the lava and King Dodongo rolled right past them. They saw it stop at the other end of the chamber and open its mouth to charge up another fireball.
"I think we have to throw a bomb into its mouth then attack it while it's down" said Link
"I will throw the bomb and you will attack it" he said
Zelda nodded her head as they both got ready.
King Dodongo came to a stop near them and opened its mouth. Link took out a bomb and threw it into King Dodongo's mouth. It exploded stunning King Dodongo allowing Zelda to attack it. After a couple of strikes Kind Dodongo got up and started rolling around.
Link and Zelda went to the other side of the room and attack it again. Then they went back to the other side and attacked it once more.
But this time King Dodongo looked a little wobbly as it started rolling around. It hit the wall at the wrong angle and was sent into the lava. It sank into the lava that hardened around it killing it.
"Now that it's dead, how do we get out of here" asked Zelda
"With that blue light" said Link pointing to the blue light that appeared
They walked across the harden lava and disappeared into the blue light.
