Link’s first challenge when he steps into the Dodongo Cavern is to find a way to get to the second floor. The main room is full of Beamos, and most of the ground is covered with lava that will burn right through Link’s Kokiri Boots. This adventure will be even more difficult than the Great Deku Tree.
First Things First
At first glance it appears that Link can’t get around the lava, but there are narrow paths along the edges of the fiery pool. There is a helpful parchment hidden away on the left side of the room.
Stubborn Switch
When Link steps on the switch, a door mysteriously opens. There must be a way to keep the switch pressed down even when he walks to the door.
Lizalfos Attack
When Link enters this lava-filled room, the door closes behind him. To open the door on the other side, he’ll have to defeat two Lizalfos.
Shedding Light
Link doesn’t have to destroy the three Dodongos, but to escape their fire he must quickly light the three extinguished torches.
Open Sesame
Any time you see an unusual structure like this, it’s time to begin experimentation.
