[[File:Spectacle_rock.png|thumb|right|275px|Spectacle Rock in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'']] '''Spectacle Rock''' is a specific rock formation which has repeatedly appeared in many ''Zelda'' games. == ''The Legend of Zelda'' == In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' on [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], Spectacle Rock is the location of [[Ganon|Ganon's]] [[Death Mountain Labyrinth|lair]] in the first quest, but in order to enter one must bomb the left "eye" to reveal the entrance. [[File:Zelda2_Spectacle_Rock.png|left|thumb|Spectacle Rock in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'']] == ''The Adventure of Link'' == In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', Spectacle Rock is found in the southwestern region of [[Hyrule]]. Using the [[Hammer]] on the eastern rock reveals a secret cave, in which a [[magic container]] lies. [[File:Spectacle-Alinktothepast.jpg|frame|Spectacle Rock in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'']] == ''A Link To The Past'' == In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', this rock is situated at the top of [[Death Mountain]] in the [[Light World]], as an obstacle in the path to the [[Tower of Hera]]. It is conspicuously absent in the [[Dark World]] reflection of Death Mountain, though its footprint is clearly visible. To get beyond Spectacle Rock to the higher ground above, Link must first travel to the Dark World and stand where its footprint remains. When Link looks into the [[Magic Mirror]], he finds himself back in the Light World, standing atop Spectacle Rock. A cave entrance located in the bridge of the glasses leads down the mountain. == ''Link's Awakening'' == [[File:Link's Awakening - Spectacle Rock.png|left|frame|Koholint Island's Spectacle Rock]]Although the setting of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' is the imaginary [[Koholint Island]], it is possible that a certain mountain formation in the [[Tal Tal Mountain Range]] acts a tribute to Spectacle Rock, which is not far-fetched considering the game's referential nature. Between [[Mt. Tamaranch]] and [[Turtle Rock]], this structure mimics Spectacle Rock in both appearance and function — as in A Link to the Past, a cavern in the middle of the rock grants access to higher elevations of the mount from the blocked entrance at its foot. == ''Ocarina of Time'' == In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Spectacle Rock is located inside [[Death Mountain Crater]] in front of the entrance to the [[Fire Temple]]. Its appearance was more conic or heaped, and a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]] rested on top of one of the rocks. Volcanic smoke billowed out of the tips of each rock, though there were no natural chimney stacks visible at the peaks. It is evident from its structure and that of the Fire Temple that the upper floors of the Fire Temple extend into the interior of these two mounds. [[File:Spectacle_rock_mm.png|right|thumb|Termina's Version of Spectacle Rock in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'']] == ''Majora's Mask'' == In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Spectacle Rock is most notably present as the path between the [[Mountain Village]] and [[Goron Village]] in the northern [[Snowhead]] region of [[Termina]], where the entrance to the [[Goron Racetrack]] is also located. Referred to by the [[Goron Elder]] as the Twin Islands, there are actually three islands in this area, though the third is smaller and makes up part of the connection between the two "eyeglasses." While the double igloo structure of the Goron Shrine in Goron Village arguably also resembles Spectacle Rock, the Twin Islands are a more plausible candidate in that they are arranged horizontally on the overworld map and that they have a distinct bridge structure connecting the two main islands. Like ''Link's Awakening'', the game takes place outside of Hyrule, and thus, it is not the same rock structure. [[File:Spectacle.jpg|left|thumb|Spectacle Isle in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'']] == ''The Wind Waker'' == In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', [[Spectacle Isle]] is the [[Great Sea|Great Sea's]] equivalent to Spectacle Rock after Hyrule has been flooded. Its appearance is understandable in that Hyrule's mountaintops were said to have formed the islands of the Great Sea, and Spectacle Rock was itself one of the higher points of elevation in Hyrule. It topographically appears as two circular stone structures with paths spiraling up their sides and a wooden bridge spanning the gap between them. Atop the eastern structure, Link can play a cannon minigame managed by [[Salvatore]]. A blue [[ChuChu]] also can be found on the beach under the wooden bridge. Spectacle Isle is strangely distant from [[Dragon Roost Island]], which is often believed by fans to be the equivalent to Death Mountain. == ''Twilight Princess'' == In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Spectacle Rock is found below Death Mountain, and is home to the mighty Goron race. The Goron Mines can be found within the interior of Spectacle Rock and the trail leading to the top spirals around the structure.
