1

Get the Goron Tunic

Stop the rolling Goron in Goron City with a bomb. After talking, receive the Goron Tunic and enter Darunia’s chamber/Death Mountain Crater route.

2

Rescue prisoners

The Fire Temple revolves around opening cells. Each freed Goron leaves a chest/small key; check every cell before moving on.

3

Boulder maze and tower

Follow the maze, use bombs/switches and climb the central fire-wall tower. The dungeon becomes vertical, so watch for doors on multiple levels.

4

Megaton Hammer

Beat the Flare Dancer route and reach the upper chest. The hammer breaks rusted switches/statues and opens the route back down.

5

Volvagia

Use the Hammer when the dragon emerges from a hole. During flying phases, keep moving and watch falling rocks. Repeat until defeated.
