The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time places

This is a list of fictional locations in the video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Most of these are dungeons.

Hyrule Field

Hyrule Field is the field in the middle of all the other places, in the very center of Hyrule. From Hyrule Field, it is possible to access most areas of the land. To the north of Hyrule Field is Hyrule Castle Town. It is surrounded my a moat and can be entered by a drawbridge. To the west, lies Gerudo Valley, accessibly over a long rope bridge. To the northeast is Kakariko Village and Death Mountain. To the east is Zora's Domain. To the southeast is Kokiri Forest and the Lost Woods. To the south is Lake Hylia. Zora's River flows through Hyrule Field. Aside from Lon Lon Ranch at its center, there is little else actually in the field. There are small stands of trees in the north corner across the river and near the entrance to Kokiri Forest. A series of trails lead from Zora's Domain to Lake Hylia along Zora's River, past Gerudo Valley and Hyrule Castle Town. Another trail lies to the east of Lon Lon Ranch and another perpendicular to that. At night, stalchilds will attack anyone wandering the field. When Link is an adult there are also peahats.

There is no equivalent to Hyrule Field in the other Zelda games, except for Termina Field in Majora's Mask, and the suspiciously similar field seen in the trailers for The Legend of Zelda (tentative title).

Kokiri Forest

Kokiri Forest is a forest south of Hyrule Field accessed by a single entrance over a bridge through the Lost Woods. Its inhabitants are the child-like Kokiri and their fairies overseen by the Great Deku Tree. Mido is the Kokiri leader. Kokiri Forest contains six buildings: the houses of Link, Saria, Mido, the Twins, and the Know-It-All Brothers, and a shop. The forest has a training area and a stream running through it. To the east of Kokiri Forest lie the Lost Woods. In the early stages of the game, when Link is a child, Kokiri Forest is a boring and peaceful place, but when he returns in the later stages as an adult, the place has become overrun with Deku Baba, and the Kokiri inhabitants have fled into the Lost Woods. Once the Forest Temple stage has been completed and the Deku Sprout appears, the area returns to normal.

The Great Deku Tree

The Great Deku Tree lies deep within the Kokiri Forest and is the wise guardian of the Kokiri people, their Forest, and to the Lost Woods. Its role was to protect the Hero of Time until he was needed. The tree was cursed by Ganondorf with a parasitic creature in order to conquer the Kokiri.

• Boss: Parasitic Armored Arachnid: [Queen] Gohma
• Sacred Stone: Kokiri's Emerald

Dodongo's Cavern

Dodongo's Cavern is the den of dangerous and troublesome lizard creatures that were sealed away by the Goron people and a source of the Gorons' food, including rocks and minerals. The cavern was closed by Ganondorf in an attempt to weaken the Gorons in order to conquer them.

• Boss: Infernal Dinosaur: King Dodongo
• Sacred Stone: Goron's Ruby

Lord Jabu-Jabu

Lord Jabu-Jabu is the protector of the Zora and their Domain. Like the Deku Tree, it was cursed in a similiar fashion by Ganondorf in a strategic attempt to conquer the Zora.

• Boss: Bio-electric Anemone: Barinade
• Sacred Stone: Zora's Sapphire

Forest Temple

The Forest Temple is the first of five main temples through which the player must progress during the part of the game in which the main character, Link, is an adult. It is an ancient ruin dedicated to the Forest. It is located in the Sacred Forest Meadow within the Lost Woods and accessible only with the hookshot since the entrance stairs are in ruins. The temple consists of two floors and two basement levels. There is a courtyard in the back. The major treasure of the Forest Temple is the Fairy Bow, which is gained after defeating the four sub-bosses, The 'Poe Sisters', who are named Joelle, Beth, Amy, and Meg. The Forest Temple's Sage is Saria and its warp song is the 'Minuet of Forest'.

• Boss: Evil Spirit from Beyond: Phantom Ganon

Fire Temple

The Fire Temple is the second major dungeon of the adult-Link portion of the game. It is located inside the Death Mountain Crater, which can be accessed through Darunia's Chambers in Goron City. Some areas of the temple, due to their intense heat, can only be entered while wearing a Goron Tunic, which deflects the searing temperatures. The Fire Temple consists of four floors filled mostly with rivers of lava. The major treasure is the Megaton Hammer. The Fire Temple's Sage is Darunia and its warp song the 'Bolero of Fire'.

• Boss: Subterranean Lava Dragon: Volvagia

Ice Cavern

Ice Cavern is located off Zora's Fountain and accessible only as an adult with the use of the hookshot. It is a minor dungeon that must be completed before attempting the Water Temple. The final boss is an Ice Wolfos and defeating him earns Link the Iron Boots.

Water Temple

Water Temple is the third major dungeon of the adult-Link portion of the game, and is where the Zoras pay homage to the water spirits. It is located beneath the waters of Lake Hylia at the base of the lake's largest island. The Water Temple is effectively a maze of chambers on four floors, some only accessible when the water of the temple is at a certain level. Part of the challenge of this temple is being able to raise and lower the water level effectively. The temple's main treasure is the longshot. The Water Temple's Sage is Princess Ruto and its warp song the 'Serenade of Water'.

• Boss: Giant Aquatic Amoeba: Morpha

Bottom of the Well

Bottom of the Well is a minor dungeon that must be completed before attempting the Shadow Temple. It is located in the eastern part of Kakariko Village and is only accessible when Link is a child after he has learned the 'Song of Storms' and drained the well. The Bottom of the Well is infested with Redead, Gibdos, and Like Likes. The Lens of Truth is gained here.

Shadow Temple

Shadow Temple is the fourth major dungeon in the adult-Link portion of the game. The Shadow Temple is located on the ledge in the far east side of Kakariko Graveyard and can be accessed only with the hookshot and Din's Fire. The Shadow Temple consists of four floors infested with Redead, Gibdos, Like Like, and Dead Hands. The temple is described as a house of the dead. It includes many invisible enemies and false walls making a near-continuous use of the Lens of Truth necessary. The major prize in the Shadow Temple are the Hover Boots. The Shadow Temple's Sage is Impa and its warp song the 'Nocturne of Shadow'.

• Boss: Phantom Shadow Beast: Bongo-Bongo

Desert Colossus

In western Hyrule, this is a desert area which isn't as volatile as the Haunted Wasteland, and is home to an oasis, a giant statue of a Gerudo goddess, and the Spirit Temple, Ganondorf's headquarters. See Spirit Temple. Link also found a Great Fairy by bombing a cracked wall. Leevers, small cactus-like worms with a thirst for blood, not water, roam the area.

Spirit Temple

Spirit Temple is the fifth major dungeon of the adult-Link portion of the game. The Spirit Temple lies within the Desert Colossus to the west of the Haunted Wastelands. The temple is divided into two portions--one accessible only when Link is a child and the other only when he is an adult. The child-Link section consists mostly of puzzles. Its boss is an Iron Knuckle and its defeat earns Link the Silver Gauntlets, which are required to access the adult-Link section of the Temple. In the adult-Link portion, the temple's major treasure is the Mirror Shield. The Spirit Temple's Sage is Nabooru and its warp song the 'Requiem of Spirit'. According to the game, the Spirit Temple was built by all-female architects and masons from the Gerudo tribe of thieves. It is said to hold a vast amount of treasure and secrets, presumably in the form of picture writing that can be seen on its walls inside the game. It was once Ganondorf's hideout, and rumor has it that it was built so that Gerudo women can pray to their goddess for a child, thus solving the mystery of Gerudo reproduction.

• Boss: Sorceress Sisters: Twinrova (Koume and Kotake)

Haunted Wasteland

Haunted Wasteland is located to the west of Gerudo Valley and only accessible through a gate kept by the Gerudo. The area is very dangerous and in order to cross it, Link must complete two challenges. The first is the 'River of Sand'. Link must longshot to the other side or risk being swallowed by it. Alternatively, the Hover Boots can be used to walk across it. After the river, flag posts guide Link to a platform where the second challenge--the Spirit Guide--begins. There Link must equip the Lens of Truth and follow the Poe guide through the remainder of the desert. On the other side is the Desert Colossus, a huge statue that houses the Spirit Temple. Besides the two challenges, the desert is also home to a carpet merchant who sells bombchus.

Sacred Forest Meadow

The Sacred Forest Meadow is the favorite haunt of Saria. It lies in the center of the Lost Woods and can be reached by following the sound of Saria's Song. A portion of it, the Forest Maze, is infested with Scrubs when Link is a child, and Moblins and the odd wolfos when Link is an adult. Beyond the maze the Forest Temple can be found.

Death Mountain

This immense mountain houses the home of the Goron race, the Dodongo Caverns, and the Fire Temple, which lies inside the very heart of the mountain itself. It is located right near Kakariko Village, a small town of poor Hylians. Due to its instabilty, rocks and boulders are often seen rolling around the area and can do serious damage to an unwary adventurer. The area is rich in a plant called the Bomb Flower that the Gorons call their "special crop".

Goron City

Goron City is located in a cave near the top of Death Mountain in the northeast corner of Hyrule. It can be accessed by climbing the Death Mountain Trail from Kakariko Village. Goron City is inhabited by the Goron and ruled by their lord Darunia. It contains a number of shops and a giant spinning vase. In the center of Goron City is a platform suspended by ropes where the Goron Ruby was once displayed. In Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, there are Goron Cities in Holodrum and Labrynna.
