Lantern Cavern

Lantern Caverns are dark, subterranean tunnels similar to Grottos in other Zelda titles. These secret caves get their name from the need of the lantern necessary to investigate them. Trying to explore a Lantern Cavern without one can result in loss of life, due to the the monsters that dwell within the tunnels. Often, they are filled with treasures such as Poe Souls and Pieces of Heart so it can be worth the risk.
