'''Death Mountain''' is one of [[Hyrule]]'s most notable locations, which has made recurring appearances throughout the ''[[Portal: The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series. It is typically presented as the home of the [[Goron]] clan and as a large volcanic mountain that is part of a mountain range.

'''Death Mountain''' is one of [[Hyrule]]'s most notable locations which has appeared multiple times throughout the ''[[Portal: The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series. Though not always present, it is typically the home of the [[Goron]] clan. It is generally portrayed as a large volcanic mountain, often with smaller mountains accompanying.

Hyrule is described as a land of mountains and forests, with Death Mountain being on of its largest and most prominent. It is volcanic in nature, and so it most appearances some parts of the volcano are filled with magma. Large boulders falling down the mountain are also a common hazard in most appearances. On top of that, it is often filled with dangerous enemies. Entry to the mountain is prohibited during ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', unless one has the king's permission. However, it is also often shown as the home of the friendly [[Goron]] Tribe in several games. They grow [[Bomb Flower]]s and forage for rocks on the mountain. The mountain has also been shown to contain mining operations in several appearances, which are operated by either Gorons or [[Rosso]] in ''A Link Between Worlds'', and in some cases hot springs.

Death Mountain is typically located in the northern part of Hyrule, often being the northernmost area that can be visited in games, and it is considered to be part of the [[Eldin Province]]. The main exception to it being the northernmost location was ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', where was part of a larger area of mountains south of [[Saria Town]] that were connected by a maze-like path and known as the 'Death Mountain Area', although the area to the south of Death Mountain resembled a compressed version of Hyrule as seen in ''The Legend of Zelda''. This implies that that ''The Legend of Zelda'' (and possibly all ''Zelda'' games set with Death Mountain to the north) took place within a small part of larger Hyrule.

*'''Death Mountain Labyrinth''' - Ganon's lair and the final dungeon of the game. Its entrance is found in Spectacle Rock, and Link can only enter it when he has the full Triforce of Wisdon.

*'''Dragon Labyrinth''' - The sixth dungeon of the game. Its entrance is located by the graveyard. The [[Magic Rod]] is obtained here, and the dungeon is also home to [[Wizzrobe]]s. The boss of the dungeon is [[Gohma]].
 
*'''Lizard Labyrinth''' - The fifth dungeon of the game. Its entrance is located along the northern part of the map and can be accessed only by clearing the puzzle of the Lost Hills. The [[flute]] is found here, and the boss is [[Digdogger]]. This dungeon is also home to [[Gibdo]]s.
 
*'''Lost Hills''' - An area similar to the [[Lost Woods]], located just south of the Lizard Labyrinth. The area has four paths, but taking most paths will return Link back to the entrance. Link has to take the upper path four times to reach the Lizard Labyrinth, or he can exit the area by going to the left instead.

*In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', Death Mountain was featured as one of the stages, based on ''Ocarina of Time''. In the game's story mode, it was the setting of [[Impa]] and [[Zelda|Sheik]]'s battle against [[Darunia]] and the Gorons, who had been brainwashed by [[Wizzro]].

* In the Japanese versions of ''A Link to the Past'' and ''A Link Between Worlds'', Death Mountain is instead called Mount Hebra (as well as the Tower of Hera originally being the Tower of Hebra in Japanese), and only the Dark World/Lorule versions are called Death Mountain. The Hebra Mountains are later made into a separate mountain range/region in ''Breath of the Wild''.

* It is possible that the top of Death Mountain could be one of the islands seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. Theories have connected it to Spectacle Island (due to the similarity to Spectacle Rock), Fire Mountain (due to its volcanic nature) or Dragon Roost Island (due to housing a volcano, Bomb Flowers and a [[Valoo|dragon deity]] connected to [[Volvagia]]).

*In ''[[Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland]]'', [[Tingle]] visits an island with the volcanic Mt. Desma. This is likely meant to be Death Mountain, as it is described in ancient times as being the "Mountain of Death".
 
*In ''Breath of the Wild'', most of Death Mountain's locations are named after Gorons from other games, such as Lake Darunia.

*In games set in Hyrule without Death Mountain, similar volcanic mountains are often visited instead, such as Mt. Crenel in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' and Eldin Volcano in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. It is possible that one or both of those volcanoes are Death Mountain at other points in time.
