The Unicorn's Cave is the fifth dungeon in Oracle of Seasons.[1] It is located north of Eyeglass Lake. In the depths of this dungeon lies the fifth Essence of Nature, the Nurturing Warmth. To access the dungeon, Link requires the Power of Autumn.

Entrance to the Cave

The entrance to the Unicorn's Cave is aboveground, surrounded by stalagmites. Located north of Eyeglass Lake, the entrance to the dungeon is blocked off by Rock Mushrooms, which ripen only in autumn. Therefore, it is required that Link travel to Subrosia and the Temple of Seasons to obtain the power of the Spirit of Autumn, the final season obtained for the Rod of Seasons.

Themes and Navigation

As its name might suggest, the Unicorn's Cave is a rather fantastical dungeon with vivid purple-tiled floors and pink walls. The dungeon consists of one floor which, from above, resembles a unicorn's head facing eastwards (hence the name of the dungeon). There are also three side-scrolling rooms beneath the actual dungeon. The Boss Key is located within one of these rooms. The dungeon also has three sets of carts, which all meet in one room of the dungeon and have no other purpose but to transport Link to adjacent rooms, one of which is the Depot.

The mini-boss of the dungeon is Syger, a sabre-toothed cat with a red orb at the tip of his tail (his only weakness). The main item of the dungeon are the Magnetic Gloves, which can be used to push and pull the heavy N Ball within the dungeon in order to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Also, fixed "S" Stones within the dungeon can be used to cross gaps by repelling or drawing Link toward the object.

The boss of the Unicorn's Cave is Digdogger, guardian of the Nurturing Warmth that Link seeks. Defeating Digdogger allows Link to claim the Essence of Nature, as well as a Heart Container.

Minor Enemies
