If you want to get inside, you ought to find the island that's one square north and four squares west of here. That's where the power to freeze anything is hidden.}}

The island is a violent volcano one sector south of [[Dragon Roost Island]]. After meeting with the [[Fairy Queen]] on [[Mother & Child Isles]], [[Link]] may fire an [[Ice Arrow]] at the flames protruding from the island. These flames will freeze, and Link will have five minutes in order to complete the island before it begins to erupt again.

After cooling the island, the young hero must scale the rock face and make his way to the volcano's peak, where there is a small cavern drop hole he must enter. In the small cavern within, Link must jump from rock to rock across the lava, and step on the switch at the end of the cavern to reveal this island's treasure, the [[Power Bracelet]]s. The timer will stop, and using the Power Bracelets, Link must lift the large stone boulder in order to exit.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', a lot of birds live on the [[Fortress of Winds]] and on the [[Tower of Winds]]' roof.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', [[Hena]] and [[Coro]] each own a bird, named respectively [[Purdy]] and [[Trill]]. Trill runs a [[Trill's Shop|shop]] near the [[Forest Temple]] that sells [[Lantern Oil]] and [[Red Potion]]. The bird [[Plumm]] might belong to their sister, [[Iza]], as Plumm can be found at the finish point of Iza's [[Rapids Ride]].

==Scrapped Dungeon Theory==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', Link can play the "[[Song of Birds]]" to summon birds (cucco include). The young hero can use his [[Whip]] to latch on the trapeze that large birds are holding, which allows him to be carried by the birds to certain areas. Also in this game, doves appear in [[Aboda Village]] and while riding the [[Spirit Train]] in the [[Forest Realm]].

It is believed by many fans that Fire Mountain was originally going to be a main dungeon rather than a one-room mini-dungeon, but the idea was scrapped due to time restraints. This is supported by the following:

The implication is that at the time the map was made, Fire Mountain, Ice Ring Isle, and Greatfish Isle were considered equally important.

Cuccos made their first 3D appearance in Ocarina of time. A Cucco is basically a [[Hylian]] version of a Chicken.
 
Cuccos have had many uses throughout the ''Zelda'' series, sometimes comical, such as in ''Majora's Mask'', where they are used as a getaway escape by the [[Bombers Secret Society of Justice|Bombers]].

Doves are common all throughout Hyrule in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''. They largely replace the [[#Seagull|Seagulls]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' and behave similarly. Although they're more interactive than the seagulls were. Using the [[Song of Birds]] near one will cause it to fly and land on Link's head. It will stay on his head until Link rolls, spin attacks, or hits something hard with his sword.

In ''A Link to the Past'', when Link plays the [[flute]] nearby the [[Weathercock]] in the centre of [[Kakariko Village]], the [[Flute Boy's Bird|Flute Boy's duck]] will appear from inside the statue. If Link plays the flute again, the bird will appear and bring [[Warping|transport]] him to one of 8 different locations in the [[Light World]].
 
 
Ducks are found in [[Ordon Village]] and in the [[Fishing Hole]] in ''Twilight Princess''. They can either be found swimming in the pond or walking along the banks.

If Link calls on the hawk as a [[Wolf Link|Wolf]], the Hawk will be able to point out secrets in the area. At the beginning of Link's quest, it is necessary to summon a hawk to get [[Uli]]'s crib back from a [[monkey]].

In ''Phantom Hourglass'', Seagulls return mainly to add atmosphere while traveling by sea. They will follow [[S. S. Linebeck|Linebeck's Ship]] in groups of four. If Link shoots one of them with the cannon, they will all flee.

Scrapped Dungeon Theory

Theory Warning

It is believed by many fans that Fire Mountain was originally going to be a main dungeon rather than a one-room mini-dungeon, but the idea was scrapped due to time restraints. This is supported by the following:

  • There are interviews where the creators say that some dungeons were left out of the final game.[1]
  • Fire Mountain, Greatfish Isle, and Ice Ring Isle are marked on the full map of the Great Sea, where the only other islands that are marked are those most plot-important ones: islands with towns (Outset Island and Windfall Island) and islands with dungeons (Dragon Roost Island, Forest Haven, Tower of the Gods, Forsaken Fortress, Headstone Island, and Gale Isle). The implication is that at the time the map was made, Fire Mountain, Ice Ring Isle, and Greatfish Isle were considered equally important.
  • Fire Mountain and Ice Ring Isle both guard pieces of equipment, of the kind often found in dungeons. There is also a beta item in the game's code called the "water boots" that is invisible and has no effect when used beyond making Link act as if he is putting on boots; this may have been associated with Greatfish Isle's dungeon.
