Guides / The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Death Mountain
Link climbs Death Mountain to investigate the strange behavior of the Gorons and rescue their patriarch from within the Goron Mines. On the ascent, Link must overcome rolling Goron guards, bypass hot steam geysers, and use friendly Gorons to launch himself up high cliffs. Reaching the summit requires defeating the Goron elder Dangoro in a sumo wrestling match to earn passage into the dungeon.

Enemies
Rolls down paths toward Link; blocking or catching them with the Iron Boots forces them into a defensive ball, allowing Link to step on their backs to launch upward
Water and ground-striding arachnid pests that leap toward Link along the mountain trail
Bats engulfed in flames that dive at Link and can burn his Ordon Shield if not extinguished quickly
Shops and people
- Goron Springwater Vendor: Hot Springwater
Tips
- Equip the Iron Boots immediately when a rolling Goron approaches, and press A to grab and toss him aside before he knocks you off the cliff.
- You must defeat Mayor Bo in Ordon Village in a sumo match to obtain the Iron Boots before you can make any meaningful progress climbing Death Mountain.
