Turtle Rock

For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo (SNES).

Entrance: Death Mountain (Dark World)

What opens it

Pits

In 8 rooms here (1F, B1, B2, B3), a pit takes one heart from Link in every mail and puts him back at the spot where he came into the room. Pits in the other rooms drop him to the floor below without hurting him.

Spikes

Spike blocks are in one room here (B3). Walking into one takes one heart in every mail and throws Link back. The Magic Cape keeps them from hurting him.

Spike floors are in 2 rooms here (1F). Standing on one takes one heart in every mail. The Magic Cape and the ring of the Cane Of Byrna keep it from hurting Link.

From the official guides

On the Dark World side of Death Mountain is a huge structure you can tell at a glance is Turtle Rock. There is still no entrance, but look closely and the top of its shell seems suspicious.
