After playing Saria's Song for Darunia, getting the Goron’s Bracelet, and bombing the boulder that blocks the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern, Link will be ready to enter the depths of the cave. By this time, Link should be sure to have the strong Hylian Shield, as his trusty Kokiri Shield will not stand up to the fire-breathing inhabitants of Dodongo’s Cavern. Inside the caverns dangerous and tricky passages, Link will fight many hungry Dodongos in his quest to fight their leader, the monstrous King Dodongo.

After proving his courage in the cave, Darunia will give Link the Spiritual Stone of Fire. But proving his courage will be a trial indeed!
