In Ocarina of Time
The Fire Temple is the second dungeon as Adult Link in Ocarina of Time. It is located deep within the Death Mountain Crater and is only accessible to humans by use of the Goron Tunic. Being in an active volcano, the temple is filled with many lava pits, including the boss room, in which there is a giant rock platform, where the battle takes place.
The Fire Temple is often considered to be, surprisingly, one of the most straightforward dungeons in the game, particularly for adult Link. It is relatively linear and puzzles are quite simplistic.
The temple is home to an ancient dragon, Volvagia, who is known to destroy entire villages and to even eat creatures and humans. Defeated by an ancient hero with the Megaton Hammer, he was resurrected by the evil Ganon. The only real defense against the dragon is the Megaton Hammer, which is located after defeating the Flare Dancer.
Minor Enemies and Traps
Keese, Torch slugs, Like Likes, Red Bubbles, Gold Skulltulas, flying Floor Tiles, boulders, false doors, flame walls, and pillar flamethrowers.
Trivia
In the original version of Ocarina of Time, the Fire Temple's music included a group of men chanting in deep voices. This was removed from later versions of the game by Nintendo due to the fact that it contained Muslim chants. The word Allah can clearly be heard at one point. Another piece of Arabic that was deciphered was "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah." It was replaced by a MIDI Synthesizer in the remake for later versions.
