Part two of our comprehensive playthrough of Ocarina’s dungeons takes us to the ominously named Death Mountain, where Brett, Carolyn, Henry and Chris do battle against the fearsome, fire-breathing Dodongo. They also spend the first several minutes explaining why Charles Schultz hated the name “Peanuts.”

Fun fact: Dodongo first appeared as the boss of the second dungeon in the original Legend of Zelda. He reprises that role in Ocarina, and is defeated the exact same way – by tossing bombs into his open mouth. Remember, Dodongo dislikes smoke!

Next up: Inside Jabu Jabu’s Belly!
