The Mountain Path

is the second stage of Death Mountain in. Following the foothills, eventually the Links get onto the mountain path. It is an dry and reeky area, much prone to rockfalls. The longtime guardians of the mountain, the Gorons, reside here as well. Once the four Links arrive, they're told by Kaepora Gaebora to help the Gorons who have been pestered by a giant bird.

The situation is however much more dire, as much of the mountainous terrain is blocked by swaths of flames created by Shadow Link. They can be extinguished with jars of water found in caves.

Once reaching the summit just slightly above the clouds, the Helmaroc King attacks the four Links. After defeating him and putting an end to the Gorons trouble, they arrive at the Tower of Flames.
