Turtle Rock (A Link Between Worlds)

Turtle Rock is a dungeon in located in the southeastern corner of Lorule.

Items
The Ice Rod, which can be rented at Ravio's Shop for 100 Rupees or purchased for 1200 Rupees, is required for entrance to the dungeon. Technically, the dungeon requires the Zora Flippers, since the nearby turtle needs her three babies, which are located nearby throughout the lake, to enter the dungeon, as the three and their mother create a platform for Link to ride to the entrance to the dungeon.

Themes and Navigation
The dungeon is based on warp points, which teleport Link to different places in Turtle Rock. Although Turtle Rock is small in size (two floors shaped to resemble turtles), it requires many small keys for it to be completed. The dungeon features lava themes, the Ice Rod is required, as it freezes lava shoots, allowing Link to walk across and transform into a painting, and to freeze large balance platforms in place, the dungeon also utilizes switches to make platforms rise above the lava and open doors, another main theme of the dungeon is climbing higher along the sides walls, allowing Link to turn into a painting and reach previously inaccessible platforms and is populated by Kodongos, Wizzrobes, Gibo and fiery Swamola. The dungeon, along with the other Lorule dungeons, contain a dungeon item, in this case, the Hylian Shield, which operates in much the same manner as the Mirror Shield does in previous titles, namely, reflecting beams and fire from enemies such as Beamos and Lynel. The Mini-Boss of this dungeon is five Fire Gimos, one large, and four small, the Ice Rod is required to defeat them. Grinexx is the boss of the dungeon, who is fought in an iron grill room with five holes in the floor, one in the middle, and the others at the corners, which allows Link to use his Ice Rod to attack Grinexx located at the bottom of the dungeon, Grinexx will shoot pillars of lava, which link can also freeze, and transform into a painting on, after the fight, Link receives a Heart Container, and rescues the sage Impa.
