Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly is the third dungeon in Ocarina of Time and is set inside Lord Jabu-Jabu's body. To enter, Link must place a fish in front of Jabu-Jabu, causing him to open his mouth and suck both the fish and Link inside. While inside, Link must fight through a variety of parasitic enemies, including an especially large tentacle-like organism, with electrified appendages in the shape of unstable pillars. Shortly thereafter, Link locates Princess Ruto, who commands him to help her recover the final Spiritual Stone, the Zora's Sapphire. After taking the Zora's Sapphire, Ruto is captured and Link is ambushed by a Big Octo, which he kills. After defeating it, Link continues until he eventually locates the creature causing Jabu-Jabu's discomfort: a parasite called Barinade. Link then defeats Barinade, and rescues Princess Ruto and, along with her, the Zora's Sapphire. Jabu-Jabu, upon noticed that he is no longer plagued by Barinade, lets Link and Ruto out, allowing Link to continue on his journey.
