The Fire Temple is the fifth Dungeon in the game Ocarina of Time.

Gaining Entrance

After collecting the Hookshot from Dampé's Grave, Link can travel to Goron City; where he finds most of the populace has disappeared, apart from one small Goron rolling where the Hot Rodder Goron once did. Stopping him with a bomb reveals he is Darunia's son, named for Link himself. While talking to him to calm him down, Link learns that most of the Gorons - except for the shopkeeper, who locked himself in his shop, Darunia, and Darunia's son himself - have been captured and taken to the Fire Temple to be fed to Volvagia as a warning to those who would oppose Ganondorf. Darunia followed to try and free his people, and his son begs Link to help, opening Darunia's room & the shop for him and giving him a Goron Tunic to protect him from intense heat.[1]

In the throne room, Link can pull the statue against the back wall, opening a passage to Death Mountain Crater. Hookshotting his way across a broken bridge prompts Sheik to appear and teach him the Bolero of Fire to warp to the Triforce Pedestal outside. With this learned, he can continue to the underground Fire Temple, at the bottom of a long vertical shaft.

Dad said that Ganondorf has revived Volvagia... As a warning to those who might oppose him, Ganondorf is going to feed them all to Volvagia! Dad went to the Fire Temple all by himself to try to save everyone... Please help, Link! I'll give you this heat-resistant tunic! Dad told me not to let anybody follow him to the temple, but... Only you, Link, can save everyone! I'm sure that the shop owner, who is hiding somewhere right now, will also help you! Now, I'll tell you about the secret passage to the Fire Temple!" — Link the Goron, Ocarina of Time.
