Goron City

Climb up Death Mountain and visit Goron City

Run up Death Mountain Trail to Goron City

After talking to the guard in Kakariko, he will let you enter the Death Mountain Trail. It’s a pretty straightforward path up to Goron City. It’s the only place you can really go at this point. The entrance is just past a big circle of stones as you climb up the mountain.

You must now leave Goron City. Head directly to the right of the Goron City entrance (as you come out) to find a ledge with a bomb flower next to it. You can do two things here, the first one is to throw a bomb to break open the rock blocking the entrance to Dodongo’s Cavern.
