Dragon Roost Cavern



Dragon Roost Cavern is located within Dragon Roost Island, the home to the Sky Spirit Valoo. When Link first comes to the island, Valoo is in a very cranky mood, yet the Rito who live there do not know why. Unless they can solve the problem, Valoo will not let anyone near to receive his scales, which the Rito need to fly.

Link first learns of the cavern from Medli, a Rito and the Great Valoo's attendant. She wishes to visit Valoo and find out why he is upset. With Link's help, she reaches the cavern, and gives Link a bottle, which allows him access to the cavern as well. (The entrance to the cavern is blocked by a moat. A rock, from the disturbance caused by Valoo, blocked the hole that caused the moat. So Link watered a bomb flower and blew up the rock.)

While inside, Link has to rescue Medli, who ends up captured by Moblins. Upon her release, Link receives the Grappling Hook, which is what the Rito used to use before they had wings.

Link finds a giant spider called Gohma in the room below Valoo. It was this spider making Valoo to be upset by knocking around his tail. Using the Grappling Hook and the weight of Valoo, Link defeated Gohma and restored peace to the island. He then received the Din's Pearl from Prince Komali as a reward for scaling the cavern.
