| Inside the Deku Tree is the first dungeon in Ocarina of Time. Being the first dungeon, it is obviously very simple and quick. It is entered after the [[Great Deku Tree]] told Link about [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]. Link enters as a test to prove he is worthy of being a hero. The boss is [[Queen Gohma]] and defeating her rewards [[Link]] with a [[Heart Container]]. Upon defeating her, The Deku Tree rewards Link with [[Kokiri's Emerald]].

| Dodongo's Cavern is the second dungeon in Ocarina of Time. It is more difficult and a bit longer than Inside the Deku Tree, but can still be considered a training dungeon. It is entered after [[Darunia]] gives [[Link]] the [[Goron's Bracelet]]. Link enters to prove to Darunia that he can save them from the [[Dodongo]]s inhabiting it. The boss is [[King Dodongo]] and defeating him rewards Link with another [[Heart Container]]. Upon defeating him, Darunia rewards Link with the [[Goron's Ruby]].

| Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly is the third dungeon in Ocarina of Time. It is the first dungeon in the game that is somewhat of a challenge, and is the also the first to feature a [[Mini-Boss]] ([[Big Octo]]). It is entered after [[King Zora]] reads the letter from [[Ruto]] explaining that she had been swallowed by [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]]. [[Link]] enters to save Ruto from what could be a terrible fate. The boss is [[Barinade]] and as always, defeating him/her grants Link a [[Heart Container]]. Upon defeating the boss, Ruto will give link [[Zora's Sapphire]] as an engagement ring since he saved her.

| ====Forest Temple==== | | ====Forest Temple==== |
| {{Main|Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)}} | | {{Main|Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)}} |
| The Forest Temple is the first temple in Ocarina of Time, as while as the fourth dungeon overall, and first entered in the future. Being a temple rather than the three previous mini dungeons, it is rather long and difficult. It is entered after [[Sheik]] teaches him the [[Minuet of Forest]] in the [[Lost Woods]]. [[Link]] entered it because he heard [[Saria]] had gone inside. The boss is [[Phantom Ganon]], the ghost created by [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] himself, and defeating him will, as usual, grant Link a [[Heart Container]]. Upon defeating him, Saria will meet Link in the [[Chamber of the Sages]], revealing that she is the Sage of Forest, and give him the [[Forest Medallion]].

| ====Fire Temple==== | | ====Fire Temple==== |
| {{Main|Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)}} | | {{Main|Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)}} |
| The Fire Temple is the second of the Adult dungeons, and fifth dungeon overall. Unlike the Forest Temple, the Fire Temple has a miniboss: [[Flare Dancer]]. It is entered after [[Link]] learns about [[Volvagia]] and the missing [[Goron]]s, and after [[Sheik]] teaches him the [[Bolero of Fire]] within [[Death Mountain|Death Mountain Crater]]. Link enters to save [[Darunia]] and the rest of the Gorons from the dragon, who is also the boss of the dungeon. As always, killing him grants Link a [[Heart Container]]. Upon killing Volvagia, Link will meet Darunia (who is the sage of fire) to recieve the [[Fire Medallion]].

| ====Water Temple==== | | ====Water Temple==== |
| {{Main|Water Temple}} | | {{Main|Water Temple}} |
| The infamous Water Temple is the third adult dungeon, and also the sixth overall. This temple is widely regarded as the hardest dungeon in the game, do to it's immense size, and the need to change the water level so often. It is entered after completing the mini-dungeon The [[Ice Cavern]] and getting the [[Iron Boots]]. [[Link]] enters it in order to defeat [[Morpha]] and save the [[Zora]]s who are frozen under ice. This dungeon also features one of the most memorable mini-boss battles in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda]] history: [[Dark Link]]. Morpha is the boss, defeating whom grants you another [[Heart Container]]. Upon defeating him/her, [[Ruto]] will emerge as the Sage of Water, and give Link the [[Water Medallion]].

| ====Shadow Temple==== | | ====Shadow Temple==== |
| {{Main|Shadow Temple}} | | {{Main|Shadow Temple}} |
| The Shadow Temple is the fourth adult dungeon, and the seventh overall. It is highly regarded as the creepiest dungeon in Zelda history due to all the references to the living dead (ie: All the [[ReDead]]s, [[Stalfos]], and even the miniboss [[Dead Hand]]). It is entered after finding the [[Lens of Truth]] from the [[Bottom of the Well]]. After completing the [[Water Temple]], Link returns to [[Kakariko Village]] to find that it is in flames, and [[Sheik]] is suspiciously standing in front of the well. [[Bongo Bongo]] will be released, and will travel to the Shadow Temple, where [[Impa]] had gone to try to seal it again. Link enters it to save Impa and the rest of the villagers from Bongo Bongo. Upon defeating it and getting a [[Heart Container]], Impa will give Link the [[Shadow Medallion]].

| The Spirit Temple is the fifth adult dungeon, and the eighth overall. It is quite unique in the way that in order to explore it completely, [[Link]] must return in the past. When he does, he will find [[Nabooru]], who will tell him to find the [[Silver Gauntlets]]. Upon finding them, he will see her being attacked by [[Twinrova]], [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]'s surrogate mothers. After returning in the future, Link will find the [[Mirror Shield]] and use it to defeat Twinrova. Upon doing so, Nabooru will awaken as the Sage of Spirit and give Link the [[Spirit Medallion]].

| What was originally the peaceful [[Hyrule Castle]] has been attacked by [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] and turned into [[Ganon's Castle]], the ninth and final dungeon in the game. After the six sages created a rainbow bridge [[Link]] can enter this rather frightening looking castle. Inside, there are six barriers that must be destroyed by the [[Seven Sages|Sages]], each corresponding to that sage's element (Ex. Shadow, Fire, Light). Once all this is done, Link can climb the long, winding staircase to Ganondorf's lair where [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] is being held captive. With all three parts of the [[Triforce]] in the same room, they can be united, which is what Link fights Ganondorf for. After winning, Ganondorf will use the last of his power to collapse the castle, at which time Link and Zelda must try to escape. Upon doing so, Ganondorf will use the power of the [[Triforce of Power]] to transform himself into a large, rather intimidating monster. He will knock away the only weapon able to kill him, the [[Master Sword]], and engage Link in another battle. After knocking him down and retrieving the Master Sword, Link performs the final blow.

[[Sheik]] will be standing in front of the well waiting for the evil spirit [[Bongo Bongo]] to be released. When it is, Sheik will teach Link the [[Nocturne of Shadow]] to warp him instantly to the Shadow Temple.<br>If Link goes into the windmill in the future, and pulls out the [[Ocarina of Time]] in front of the windmill guy, he will teach Link the [[Song of Storms]], which apparently some kid played seven years in the past, and messed up the windmill. When Link returns in the past and plays said song, the Well will dry out, at which time Link can enter only in the past.<br>Within the Well is the second mini-dungeon (and the last), inside of which are many undead creatures. Deep within the dungeon, Link will defeat the extremely creepy [[Dead Hand]], which grants him the [[Lens of Truth]], enabling him to see trick walls and floors in the [[Shadow Temple]].
