Eldin

The volcanic Eldin region is dominated by the massive Death Mountain, an active stratovolcano that defines the northeastern skyline of Hyrule with its permanent smoke plume and periodic eruptions. The Goron people have carved their civilization directly into the volcanic rock at Goron City, partway up the mountain's southern flank — their stone buildings, forge works, and ore mines are integrated with the lava landscape. The closer you climb toward the summit, the more extreme the heat: at Death Mountain Crater, the air shimmers with Level 2 heat that ignites wooden equipment on contact. Lava rivers flow in channels through the mountainside, geysers erupt on a cycle, and Magma Hands reach out from glowing pools. The Bridge of Eldin crosses a massive lava canyon to the east, and the Southern Mine bustles with Goron workers. In TotK, the Gorons have been consumed by addiction to Marbled Rock Roast — a food product sold by a shady Zonai-themed merchant — which has left Goron City chaotic and the Fire Temple sealed. The Yunobo quest line is required to enter the Fire Temple and confront the imprisoned dragon that controls the mountain. Eldin's sky above the volcano features drifting volcanic debris and an orange-red sky.
