Mount Crenel employs the use of blue and green [[Vines#Minish Cap|beanstalks]] to ascend further up the mountainside, the green of which cannot be grown with simple water, but must be supplied with [[Hot Spring Water#The Minish Cap|Mt. Crenel Mineral Water]] gathered from the natural hot spring at the base of the mountain, in order to sprout. The [[Grip Ring]], found in a bombable cave and bought from the [[Business Scrub]] within, is used extensively and is required to scale the vertical, rocky walls of Crenel. A unique feature of [[Ezlo]] is also introduced in this area as Link needs to cross cliffs via small whirlwinds. The [[Gust Jar]] proves handy in removing spiky obstacles and uncovering enemies hiding beneath rocks.

The most significant area of Mount Crenel is the Crenel Wall region, an enormous expanse of vertical rock face that can only be climbed with the aid of the Grip Ring. With the Grip Ring in hand, Link will be able to reach the summit of the mountain via its only route - without it, Link will not be able to reach the summit any other way. Like the climb to the apex of [[Death Mountain]] in {{OOT}}, falling [[boulder]]s threaten any safe passage to the mountaintop.

Mount Crenel was once home to the [[Goron]]s before their numbers started dwindling. The mountain is full of [[Tektite]]s, [[Peahat]]s, and falling boulders, endangering any who venture the risky ascent to the summit. Near the top of the mountain is a human mine, which is the second dungeon known as the [[Cave of Flames]]. In this dungeon, Link receives the [[Cane of Pacci]]. The boss of the dungeon is known as [[Gleerok]], and upon his defeat Link receives the [[Fire Element]], the second of the [[Element]]s and a full [[Heart Container]]. This area is also notable for its many secrets, including Heart Pieces and Fairy Fountains.
