While Link can't obtain it until later in the Wii U remake since it uses standard [[Bomb]]s rather than [[Tingle Bomb]]s, there is a [[Tingle Statue]] hidden within Dragon Roost Cavern.

When Link jumps across the platforms and climbs the ladder, he must open the door by using the [[Grappling Hook]] to pull down the red switch and leaping backwards instead of forward. Once the door is open, Link must enter and grapple to the seemingly useless ledge in front of him. Finally, Link must place a Bomb/Tingle Bomb there and take out the [[Shield]] to avoid getting hurt. A [[Treasure Chest]] containing the Dragon Tingle Statue appears. There are also two [[Treasure Chart]]s in this dungeon. The first one is in the room on the first floor west of the main lava room. Link can use the Grappling Hook to get to the Treasure Chest. The second Treasure Chart can be found on the second floor south of the main lava room, where Link can find a torch he can light up to reveal a hidden Treasure Chest.

The Dragon Roost Cavern is the first major Dungeon in The Wind Waker. It is located inside the large mountain on Dragon Roost Island.

Overview

The Sky Spirit, Valoo, resides atop the large mountain on Dragon Roost Island. Link journeys inside of Dragon Roost Cavern in hopes to scaling the peak of the mountain and calming down Valoo.[1]

When Link arrives inside the cavern, he'll find that it is infested with many Moblins, Bokoblins and other monsters. Link initially traverses the mountain to follow Medli, a member of the Rito tribe. She was captured by Bokoblins and after rescuing Medli, Link receives the Grappling Hook.

Using the Grappling Hook, Link later battles with the dungeon boss, Gohma. Gohma has caused Valoo to be distressed by pulling on his tail from inside the mountain, causing Valoo to become enraged and attack members of the Rito tribe seeking their wings. This scares Komali, the chief's son, who tells Link that if he could prove that he was courageous enough to calm Valoo, he would talk to him. After clearing the dungeon, Link returns to the base of the mountain after calming Valoo to receive Din's Pearl from Komali, who apologizes to Link.

I'll tell you what: If you can find me someone who can get past all the obstacles on Dragon Roost to get to Valoo... THEN I'll listen to anything you say!" — Prince Komali, The Wind Waker.
