- - - GORON CITY - - -

Items to find: Goron Tunic, Bolero of Fire, Entrance to Fire Temple

All of the Gorons are gone, except for the one on the third floor that
is rolling around wildly. Put a bomb in his path and, if it blows up on
him, he'll stop. But I know a trick that I haven't seen anywhere else,
and it works like a charm...you know those two Bomb Flowers near
the
entrance to the Giant Goron that sells you Giant's Knife? Well, get
away, and when the ball is almost there, fire an arrow at the bombs! It
works perfectly. Talk to him and he'll thank you with a little present,
the Goron Tunic, which is resistant to fire (Is this starting to sound
like Super Metroid?...maybe...). You could always buy this at a store,
but it costs a lot of money (200 Rupees...you'd need the Adult Wallet
for this one). Go downstairs to the King's Room and pull on the statue
that looks out of place, behind it is the Death Mountain Crater. Cross
the broken bridge, using your Hookshot to get across gaps. Before
finding the entrance to the Fire Temple Sheik will teach you the Bolero
of Fire, yet another song for your collection. Enter the Fire Temple...

- - - FIRE TEMPLE - - -

Items to find: Map, Compass, Megaton Hammer, Fire Medallion

Go up the stairs and through the left door. After the chat with the King
Goron (I can't remember how to spell it) jump on the platforms to the
left. You'll find a switch, stand on it to release the Goron! Talk to
him to free him and get a tip. Pick up the Small Key that's in his cell.
Now return to the entrance and go through the right door this time.

Cross the wooden bridge and go across the wooden board to the right
of
the locked door. Soon you'll find a wall with an odd piece...blow it up
with a bomb! Inside is a Goron in his cell, along with the Small Key
you
need to open the locked door. Now exit the tunnel, across the
chamber is
a door under a blue block. Enter the door. Another Goron with a
Small
Key. With your two keys, un-lock the door across the wooden bridge.

Go across the board and then climb the gate near the right pillar. Jump
on the pillar, being weary of the Keese, and push the block on top of
the pillar of fire. When it erupts it will fling the block up. Get on
your little elevator to be transported to the upper area, it has a
locked door. Use your last Key on it...duh. Climb the ledges, killing
the Torch Slugs, then hop on over to the adjacent area. Push the block

off the edge, then drop down and pull it as far as it will go. Get back
to where the block used to be, then use the block as a stepping stone
to
the next area. Climb the fence. The exit to this room is being blocked
by a large flame. Remember that strange diamond object near where
the
block originally was? Well, if you hit it with something, the fire will
go out...for five seconds. Get on the same level as the fire, stand near
the edge, and toss a bomb on top of the diamond. Get near the flame.
If
the bomb hits it's target, quickly climb the fence and exit through the
door.

Now we're in a giant maze with boulders rolling everywhere. You can
find
two Gorons now...the first one is to your left, just follow the wall in
that direction. Get the key in his cell. The second is on the other
side, in a small aclove. Get that key as well. Now, find the locked door

(near a wall) and go through it. Hit the eyeball with an arrow (it's
very easy to miss, look up near the ceiling) and the barred door will be
open. Inside is a chest with the Map. Now return, go through the
locked
door.

In this room a curtain of fire will follow you, so don't doddle. Ignore
the locked door and follow the path to find another door. Now you're
at
the top of the maze. The platform in front of you, the one with the
Torch Slug, has a very large crack in it. Also, Navi will say "I hear
Goron voices below..." It's pretty obvious now. Just plant a bomb
there,
then fall down the tube. At the bottom is a Goron and a Key (like
always). Climb up the grating to return to the top of the maze. A few
platforms away is a switch, it will open a cage nearby, on the other
side of the maze. Carefully, hop over there. Get the Key. NOW return
to
the room with the fire curtain, un-lock the door. Go through the hall...

This room is huge, and very dangerous. It looks like an open space,
but
the curtains of fire that open up block your path and will torch you if
you touch them. And since they only appear when you get close to
them,
it's a good idea to walk, not run. Turn to your right and follow the
wall to a door, inside is a chest with the Compass. Go back to where
you
came in and go left, carefully make your way through the pillars of
fire, the bats, and rolling rocks and un-lock the door there.

Go through the hallway (you can't get the Goron there - YET). Now
you're
on the opposite side of the room. The only reason you can't get here
via
the other side is due to the fact that the curtains of fire cover it up!
Now, hit the switch and quickly run to the area that the giant flame was

protecting. The door here is FAKE; it will attack you if you attempt to
open it. Instead, lay a bomb down and blow it into oblivion. Behind it
is a real door. Now you will fight the Flare Dancer. Ya know, the one
in
the Boss Section...

When he's dead the flame in the center will go out, now it serves as an
elevator to the upper area. Climb the grating on the wall, then throw a
bomb over the ledge to activate the Diamond Object and de-activate
the
flame. Climb the grating, then exit.

Now we're in a semi-donut shaped room, Climb the stairs, then hit the
switch. Now, above, the treasure chest used to have a flame around it,
but now it does not. There's a timer, so quickly use the small steps
near the edge of the hole in the center to climb up there. Oh, and try
not to fall...it's a LOOOONNNG way down :) If you make it in time,
and
don't fall, you shall have received the Megaton Hammer! Go to your
right
to find a strange block with a face on it...smash it with the Megaton
Hammer and it will fall, creating a tunnel for you. Break the statue
with the Hammer to reveal a door. Take care of all the Keese, then
smash
the strange block with a face. It's a switch, and will cause the floor
to transform into a stairway. At the bottom is a switch that will not
stay down...Just grab a crate near the start of the room, carry it
there, then lay it down on the switch!

Smash the stone with a face and you will fall into the room with the
maze of fire curtains. The block that fell will serve as a step up to a
barred door. There is a switch, but like Navi said, "It's all rusted!"
Just whip out your Megaton Hammer and hit it. Now, take a running
leap
and jump over the gap! Play the Song of Time near the blue block and
it
will disappear (sorta), revealing a rusted switch. Hit it with your
Megaton Hammer, it will un-lock the Goron below. He'll say that the
statue near the start of the dungeon has a door behind it...Grab the
Small Key in his cell. Now, climb the blue block and exit through the
door you entered. See that platform right in front of you? Hop on it and

smash the face block with your Hammer. Not only are we at the
beginning
of the dungeon, we've made a little bridge to the Boss Door!

The statue the Goron was speaking of is to the right of the stairs.
Smash it to bits with the Hammer, then enter the door behind it. Kill
all the creatures in this room to unlock the door. Exit through the
door, avoiding the spinning tiles...now you must face the Flare Dancer
again! Just check out the section...that starts with a B...ends with an
S...After killing him the barred door will be free to open. Also, a
chest will drop down, this contains a few bombs. Exit the door, smash
the rusted switch with the Hammer to open the cell and rescue the final
Goron. Open up the yellow and blue chest to find the...Boss Key! Oh
yeah, baby! Go to the door that's in the cell, you're to the left of the
stairs at the start. I'm sure you know where to go now...(door, left of
stairs...where the King was at the start!). Also, if you want to re-fill
your health or your bottles are empty, go to the right of the boss door
(you'll need to use the Hookshot target) and smash the pots on the
ledge, one of them has a Fairy in it!

Now you will fight the mythical dragon, Volvagia. Check out the Boss
Section for details on this fight...Take the Heart Container and enter
the blue light.

Now Darunia, king of the Gorons, and the Sage of Fire, will hand over

the Fire Medallion.
