Tower of Flames is the third stage in Death Mountain in Four Swords Adventures and it is where the Green Shrine Maiden is being held hostage. Although this few enemies are encountered in this dungeon, there are many hazards, fire traps such as rotating flame pillars and fire shooting statues. Large parts of the dungeon is also covered by lava pits.
In addition to Shadow Link, the four Links will also encounter a Ball and Chain Soldier as a Mini-boss, whose ball happens to ignite fire.
Near the end of the dungeon, the four Links meets a lone, but talktive Goron. Apparently he entered the tower in order to vanquish the monster around, but accidently dropped the bombs he brought with him into the lava pits.[1] He then advises the four Links on how to defeat the enemies, namely a group of Dodongos.[2] After acquiring bombs the four Links defeats the dodongos, they head out to a terrace were they once again meet Kaepora Gaebora, who warn them of the evil that as struck Hyrule Castle.[3] They then proceed to rescue the Green Shrine Maiden.

Trivia
- Interestingly, the background music is that of Ganon's lair (Level 9, Death Mountain Labyrinth) in The Legend of Zelda.
- The Tower of Flames looks very similar to the Tower of Hera in A Link to the Past, which is also located on Death Mountain.

So right when they open their mouths to breather fire, gulp! And then... BLAMMO! What a great idea! ...But then I dropped my bombs in the lava! Ugh! I can't believe it!" — Goron (Four Swords Adventures)
