'''Hinox Mine''' is a Level in {{TFH}}. It is the second Level in the [[Drablands#Volcano|Volcano]] area.
{{Term/Store|Hinox Mine||Series, TFH}} is a {{Term|TFH|Level|link}} in {{TFH}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 160}}</ref> It is the second {{Term|TFH|Level}} in the [[Drablands#Volcano|Volcano]] {{Term|TFH|Area}}, preceded by {{Term|TFH|Blazing Trail|link}} and followed by {{Term|TFH|Den of Flames|link}}.

The Level is a large volcanic cavern, which serves as a mine. It consists of several railways and mine carts that are utilized in the Level, primarily for transportation over lakes of magma.
{{Term|TFH|Hinox Mine}} is a large volcanic cavern, which contains several railways and {{Plural|TFH|Mine Cart|link}} that are used for transportation over lakes of {{Term|TFH|Lava|link}}.


In '''Stage 1''', the [[Links]] begin at a small area with a pair of pillars growing [[Bomb Flower]]s, and a large block barricading the way. A pair of [[Boomerang]]s and a [[Bow]] are immediately provided for their use. To destroy the block, the Links must throw the Boomerangs at the Bomb Flowers, which will bring it to their hands. The Bombs can then be thrown at the block, which requires two blasts to destroy. Removing the block allows one of the Links to shoot an [[Arrow]] at the [[Switch]] across, which rises a fleet of stairs to the next area above. Here, the Links must work in tandem to activate a set of three timed Switches across a gap. One Link must grab one of the Bomb Flowers from the sides, and throw it between the two Bomb Flowers that sit next to the switches. This will make the Bombs explode and activate two Switches. The Links must then quickly form a Totem so the top Link can fire an Arrow at the top Switch before the timer runs out. Activating all three Switches at once creates a moving platform that leads to the Triforce Gateway.

In '''Stage 1''', the {{Plural|TFH|Links|link}} begin at a small area with a pair of {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower|link}} growing on pillars, and a {{Term|TFH|Cracked Block|link}} barricading the way forward. A pair of {{Plural|TFH|Boomerang|link}} and a {{Term|TFH|Bow|link}} are immediately provided for their use. To destroy the {{Term|TFH|Cracked Block}}, the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must throw the {{Plural|TFH|Boomerang}} at the {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower}} to catch the {{Plural|TFH|Bomb}}, then throw them at the {{Term|TFH|Cracked Block|display=Block}}, which requires two blasts to destroy. Removing it allows one of the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} to shoot an {{Term|TFH|Arrow|link}} at the {{Term|TFH|Shock Switch|link}} up ahead, which raises a flight of stairs to the next area. Here, the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must work in tandem to activate a set of three timed {{Plural|TFH|Shock Switch}} across a gap. This can be accomplished numerous ways; the intended method is for one {{Term|TFH|Links}} to grab one of the {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower}} from the sides, and throw it between the two {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower}} that sit next to the {{Plural|TFH|Switch}}, which causes a chain reaction of explosions that activates two {{Plural|TFH|Switch}}. The {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must then quickly form a {{Term|TFH|Totem|link}} so the top {{Term|TFH|Links}} can fire an {{Term|TFH|Arrow}} at the higher {{Term|TFH|Shock Switch}} in the center before others revert to deactivated. Activating all three {{Plural|TFH|Switch}} at once creates a moving platform that leads to the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway|link}}.

In '''Stage 2''', the Links appear on a platform above a set of rails and a mine cart. The cart will continuously move in a circle around the area, passing by Bomb Flowers and a cracked block. The Boomerang can grab the Bombs, as well as the [[Rupee]]s sitting on the ledge. Demolishing the block reveals a Switch above and a purple Rupee. This Rupee can also be grabbed with the Boomerang, while the Links must form a Totem of three to hit the Switch with an Arrow. A pair of Bomb Flowers next to the Switch will also activate it if hit. Doing this turns the rails so the mine cart will move north to a Triforce Gateway.

In '''Stage 2''', the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} appear on a platform above a set of rails and a {{Term|TFH|Mine Cart|link}}. Once they drop into the {{Term|TFH|Mine Cart}}, it will continuously move in a loop around the area, passing by some {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower}} and {{Plural|TFH|Red Rupee|link}} on a ledge, and a large {{Term|TFH|Cracked Block}}. The {{Plural|TFH|Links}} with {{Plural|TFH|Boomerang}} can grab the {{Plural|TFH|Bomb}} and throw them to demolish the {{Term|TFH|Cracked Block|display=Block}}, revealing a {{Term|TFH|Shock Switch}} and a {{Term|TFH|Purple Rupee|link}} behind it. The {{Term|TFH|Rupee}} can be retrieved with a {{Term|TFH|Boomerang}} by a {{Term|TFH|Totem}} of two, while the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must form a {{Term|TFH|Totem}} of three to hit the {{Term|TFH|Switch}} with an {{Term|TFH|Arrow}}. A pair of {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower}} sit next to the {{Term|TFH|Switch}} which will also activate it, so {{Term|TFH|Links}}'s aim does not need to be perfect. Hitting this {{Term|TFH|Switch}} turns the rails so the {{Term|TFH|Mine Cart}} will move north to a {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}} and a {{Term|TFH|Squiddy|link}}.
{{Clear}}


'''Stage 3''' features another mine cart and a more complex railway. The Links ride the cart around another circle, and pass by a lever switch. Hitting this turns the rail so the mine cart can move to the next set of rails. This next area contains a group of Bomb Flowers and three Switches. The Switches all have a line of Bomb Flowers leading up to them, while two also sit close to a fire stack each. The Links must activate these Switches by blowing up the Bomb Flowers, creating a chain reaction that will hit the Switches. One Switch simply requires one Link to shoot an Arrow at the line of Bombs, while the other two require that the Links throw Bombs into the fire stacks. The Links can grab Bomb Flowers from the ledges using the Boomerang to achieve this. Alternately, the other two Switches can also be hit with an Arrow at just the right angle and timing. Hitting all three turns the rails, leading to the Triforce Gateway.

'''Stage 3''' features another {{Term|TFH|Mine Cart}} and a more complex railway. The {{Plural|TFH|Links}} ride the cart around in another loop, and pass by a lever {{Term|TFH|Switch}}. Hitting this turns the rail so the {{Term|TFH|Mine Cart}} can move to the next set of rails, which forms a large loop around most of the {{Term|TFH|Stage}}. This next area contains three more {{Plural|TFH|Shock Switch}} and a number of {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower}} on ledges. Each {{Term|TFH|Switch}} has a line of {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower}} leading up to them; two of these lines begin at fire stacks near the railway. The {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must activate these {{Plural|TFH|Shock Switch}} by blowing up the lines of {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower}}, creating a chain reaction that will hit the {{Plural|TFH|Switch}}. One {{Term|TFH|Switch}} simply requires one {{Term|TFH|Links}} atop a {{Term|TFH|Totem}} to shoot an {{Term|TFH|Arrow}} at the line of {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower}}, while the other two require that the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} throw {{Plural|TFH|Bombs}} into the fire stacks. Alternately, the other two {{Plural|TFH|Switch}} can also be hit with an {{Term|TFH|Arrow}} that is shot with just the right angle and timing. Hitting all three {{Plural|TFH|Shock Switch}} opens a door to the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}} back on the starting platform, and turns the rails to lead back to it.

'''Stage 4''' is where the Links fight two of the [[Hinox Bros]] in a larger mine cart.
[[File:TFH Hinox Brothers Promotional Screenshot.png|250px|right|thumb|The Hinox Brothers in Stage 4]]
'''Stage 4''' is where the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} battle two of the {{Plural|TFH|Hinox Brothers|link}} aboard a larger, two-car {{Term|TFH|Mine Cart}}. The rails run around the entire {{Term|TFH|Stage}}'s perimeter, above a massive pool of {{Term|TFH|Lava}}. A second set of rails for the {{Term|TFH|Mine Cart}} carrying the {{Plural|TFH|Hinox Brothers}} runs parallel through most of the {{Term|TFH|Stage}}, briefly breaking away from the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} in the northern section. Several ledges around the {{Term|TFH|Stage}} have {{Plural|TFH|Heart|link}} that can be retrieved with the {{Term|TFH|Boomerang}}. Once the {{Plural|TFH|Hinox Brothers}} are defeated, the {{Term|TFH|Mine Cart}} returns to the starting platform where the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}} is activated.

===Drablands Challenges===
==={{Plural|TFH|Drablands Challenge}}===
Hinox Mine includes the following [[Drablands Challenge]]s: "[[Drablands Challenge#Clear within the time limit!|Clear within the time limit!]]", "[[Drablands Challenge#Pop all balloons!|Pop all balloons!]]", and "[[Drablands Challenge#Don't pop any balloons!|Don't pop any balloons!]]".
Once the {{Term|TFH|Boss|link}} of the {{Term|TFH|Volcano|link}} has been defeated, {{Term|TFH|Hinox Mine}} can be replayed with the following {{Plural|TFH|Drablands Challenge|link}}: "[[Drablands Challenge#Clear within the time limit!|Clear within the time limit!]]", "[[Drablands Challenge#Pop all balloons!|Pop all balloons!]]", and "[[Drablands Challenge#Don't pop any balloons!|Don't pop any balloons!]]". Each {{Term|TFH|Drablands Challenge|display=Challenge}} features the same configuration of {{Plural|TFH|Enemy|link}}.


===Materials===
In "Clear within the time limit!", the {{Plural|TFH|Links|link}} are given a timer of four minutes in [[Multiplayer]], or four minutes and 45 seconds in single-player. This timer can be increased by collecting {{Plural|TFH|Hourglass|link}} or wearing {{Term|TFH|Linebeck's Uniform|link}}. Notably, there are no {{Plural|TFH|Hourglass}} to collect until the final {{Term|TFH|Stage|link}}, where several can be found on the ledges with {{Plural|TFH|Heart|link}}.
At the end of the Stage, three [[Treasure Chest|chest]]s can be opened. Two contain the same [[Material]], and one contains another.


====No challenge====
In "Pop all balloons!", the four {{Plural|TFH|Stage}} contain seven, seven, six, and six {{Plural|TFH|Balloon|link}} respectively, for a total of 26 {{Plural|TFH|Balloon}}. Due to a bug present in all versions of the game, the {{Term|TFH|Balloon}} floating above the staircase in {{Term|TFH|Stage}} 1 does not need to be popped.
*2 [[Goron Ore]]s
*1 [[Demon Fossil]]


===="Clear within the time limit!"====
"Don't pop any balloons!" is considered to be one of the most difficult {{Plural|TFH|Drablands Challenge}}, as many of the {{Plural|TFH|Bomb Flower|link}} and {{Plural|TFH|Shock Switch|link}} throughout the {{Term|TFH|Level}} have {{Plural|TFH|Balloon}} floating very close by. For this reason, the {{Term|TFH|Drablands Challenge|display=Challenge}} becomes impossible to complete if the {{Term|TFH|Links}} utilizing the {{Term|TFH|Bow|link}} wears the {{Term|TFH|Kokiri Clothes|link}}.
*2 [[Monster Guts]]
*1 [[Rugged Horn]]


===="Pop all balloons!"====
==={{Plural|TFH|Material}}===
*2 [[Demon Fossil]]s
At the end of the {{Term|TFH|Level}}, three {{Plural|TFH|Treasure Chest|link}} can be opened. Two contain the same {{Term|TFH|Material|link}}, and one contains another, more valuable {{Term|TFH|Material}}.
*1 [[Kodongo Tail]]


===="Don't pop any balloons!"====

==Trivia==
*As described in Vol. 3 of the {{Term|TFH|Drablands Diary|link}}, some fossilized bones are hidden in each {{Term|TFH|Level|link}} of the {{Term|TFH|Volcano|link}}. They can be seen on the sloped edge of a platform in {{Term|TFH|Stage}} 2 of {{Term|TFH|Hinox Mine}}, just after the {{Term|TFH|Mine Cart|link}} turns north toward the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway|link}}.
