How Do I Find the Cave of Ordeals in Zelda the Ocarina of Time Game?

Nintendo has not yet specified an exact location for the Cave of Ordeals in the "Ocarina of Time" video game, leaving players to speculate and roam in search of it. Yet many video games earn praise for Easter eggs, hidden components that gamers discover haphazardly. The Cave has been described as the most arduous section of several "Zelda" games. This fact can support your pursuit for "Ocarina's" Easter egg-like Ordeals. Substantial play in the game is mandatory for worthwhile Cave reconnaissance.

Instructions

1. Amass the major weaponry items for each Temple. The Iron Boots, Fairy Bow, Megaton Hammer and Longshot are the most essential. Fire Arrows and the Lens of Truth also are helpful. These tools will lend support as you vanquish enemies throughout your trek to potential Caves of Ordeals.

2. Head to the Gerudo Training Grounds. Like the Cave of Ordeals in other "Zelda" games, these Grounds are comprised of multiple levels, each of which feature many enemies to destroy. You must first have earned the Gerudo's Membership Card, available from Nerudo's Second in Command, which is available to you after successful completion of the challenges at the Gerudo Forest.

3. Check the untouched cave located in the rear of the throne room of Zora's Domain, where you encounter Lord Jabu Jabu. Play the Scarecrow's Song to grant access inside.

4. Journey to the Water Temple, arguably the most difficult section of "Ocarina of Time," and one of those most analogous to the Cave of Wonders.

5. Enter the Boss Challenge mode of the game. Here, you can battle against every boss in "Ocarina of Time" successively once you have completed the game. This mode is identical to the Cave of Ordeals in other "Zelda" versions, save for the fact that it is limited exclusively to bosses.
