Story

What happens in Death Mountain Trail in the main story, with the lines from its cutscenes. All the steps in order are on the quests page.

Step 3 (Young Link)

Break the curse inside the tree. Before he dies, the tree tells how the goddesses made the world, warns of the man in black armor, and hands over a Spiritual Stone.

Nayru...

Poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world.

Step 9 (Young Link)

Show the letter to the guard at the gate to the mountain.

Step 11 (Young Link)

Clear the cavern the Gorons take their rocks from. Their leader gives the second Spiritual Stone.

It's me, Darunia! Well done!

Thanks to you, we can once again eat the delicious rocks from the Dodongo's Cavern until our stomachs burst!

What a wild adventure! It will make an incredible story...

I can't believe that the Dodongos suddenly appeared in such great numbers!

And that big rock blocking the cave...

All this trouble must have been caused by that Gerudo thief, Ganondorf!

He said, "Give me the Spiritual Stone! Only then will I open the cave for you!"

You, on the other hand, risked your life for us...

Kid, I like you!

How's about you and I become Sworn Brothers?!

No, there's no big ceremony involved! Just take this as a token of our friendship!

You obtained the Goron's Ruby! This is the Spiritual Stone of Fire passed down by the Gorons!

You don't know what he means by "Sworn Brothers," but you've collected two Spiritual Stones! You have one more to find!

You don't know what he means by "Sworn Brothers," but you've finally collected all three Stones! Go back to see Princess Zelda!

Brother! You'll keep brushing up on your skills as you travel, won't you?

You should go see the Great Fairy on top of Death Mountain! She will power you up!

Hey, everybody! Let's see off our Brother!

You did great!

How 'bout a big Goron hug, brother?!

Step 21 (Adult Link)

The Gorons have been taken to the temple in the crater to be fed to a dragon. Free them and beat it.

Side story

Blow open the wall at the top of the trail and play the royal lullaby. The Great Fairy of Power teaches the Spin Attack and gives a Magic Meter.

Welcome Link! I am the Great Fairy of Power!

I'm going to grant you a sword technique.

Receive it now!

You mastered the secret sword technique of the Spin Attack!

Hold B to charge your weapon! Release B to unleash a wave of energy with your spin!

If you want to release energy without charging your weapon, just rotate Control Stick once and press B for a very effective quick spin!

When you charge power for a Spin Attack, magic power will be consumed. Pay attention to your green Magic Meter!

Hey, boy! You're a messenger of the Royal Family, aren't you?

Next time you're in their neighborhood, you should drop in on a friend of mine who lives by Hyrule Castle.

She'll surely grant you another new power!

When battle has made you weary, please come back to see me.

A Goron explains the strange flower on a ledge is a Bomb Flower; dropping one down onto the big rock in front of Dodongo's Cavern blows it apart.

Eigentlich muß man die Donnerblume nur zielsicher hinunter werfen, und schon bleiben von dem großen Fels vor der Dodongo-Höhle nur noch Kiesel übrig.

The trail map marks Biggoron at the top, a heart piece near Dodongo's Cavern and several Gold Skulltulas.

On the way to the summit rocks rain down on Link; caves along the trail hide a cow that gives milk when Link plays Epona's Song.

Milch macht müde Männer munter!

Link takes the mountain path again after shopping in Kakariko.

Nach einem kurzen Abstecher in die verschiedenen Shops führt ihn das Abenteuer wieder auf den Gebirgspfad.
