The Cave of Ordeals is an optional 50-floor dungeon in Twilight Princess. It is found within a hole on the Gerudo Mesa deep within the Gerudo Desert. Link can only access the cave after he has removed the obstacle guarding the entrance, which is, conveniently, a section of the broken Eldin Bridge. Each floor has a range of enemies seen throughout the game; however, on certain floors, Link is able to collect a reward from the Great Fairy. Some of the floors change after the 1st time completing it. For example, different enemies, or enemy variations, appear.

Rewards

Link earns a specific prize, given by the Great Fairy, every 10th floor. On completion of the 10th floor, Fairies are released into Ordon Spring, finishing the 20th floor releases Fairies into the Faron Spring, while completing both the 30th and 40th floor releases Fairies into the remaining springs, Eldin and Lanayru. If Link makes it past the 50th and final floor, he is rewarded with a free Bottle of Great Fairy's Tears.
