I'm stuck in Dodongo Cavern...

i remember this dungeon very well. Have you went inside the skull yet and made it to the room with the moving spikes?

inside the skull i beleive u use bombchus or bombs on something

Do an online search for strategy guide for the game. There should be two or three. It's been a while since I looked for game guides but that is your best bet. It's been ages since I played OOT so I don't remember details. Hope this helps.

My husband and I are avid Zelda fans, we have been playing since they first started. I have to say that Ocarina of Time is still my favorite, but if you aren't careful you can miss a lot of things that are meant to help you along in the game. The best way to make sure that you do this is to go online and get your hands on a copy of the walk through. They are more help that anything else, and trust me when I say you will find the results well worth the work of looking through it. I personally would start by collecting some fairies and some hearts. Actually I should ask if you have all your glass bottles?? The reason I ask this is because it is a great way to increase your life in the game, having an extra fairy or two in a bottle, helps out,they are also useful for storing potions that will come in handy along the way. Once you have collected a few and have some life it will make the next part of this Cavern a lot simpler. I personally still think that you should be checking out the walk through. Good luck, this is one of my favorites. Have fun and enjoy your New Year.
