Kinolangdanzel is a large Dwemer Ruin directly north of the Orphan's Tear. It contains 4 samples of Gold Dust, 4 Pieces of Heart, the Staff of Skulltula, the Skull Hammer, Zelda's Lullaby, and the Ocarina of Time. It also connects to the Link Between Worlds and the Forgotten Islands.

Within the dungeon are the remains of a small, failed adventuring party, who were bewitched by the dungeon and wrote poetry instead of writing journals.

Walkthrough[]

Orphan’s Tear[]

To get to Kinolangdanzel, it is recommended to go to a small island west of the Orphan’s Tear. On the west side of the island is a small, wooden rowboat with a pink fairy fluttering above it. Activate the boat to travel to Kinolangdanzel Tower.

Kinolangdanzel Tower[]

When you arrive at the base of Kinolangdanzel Tower, you will be facing the entrance to Kinolangdanzel Tower. To the north is a snowy ramp that leads to the top of Kinolangdanzel Tower. At the top of Kinolangdanzel Tower is a Thalmor Wizard guarding a chest half-buried in snow. The chest can only be opened after the upper dungeon of Kinolangdanzel is complete and the Tower Key is found. The interior of the Tower is a Dwemer elevator shaft, with two benches at the east and west, and a Dwemer banner hanging on the north wall. A lever in the center begins the descent into Kinolangdanzel.

Kinolangdanzel[]

The lift leads to the bottom of a flooded elevator shaft, with water pouring from above. To the south stands a locked door that leads to Kinolangdanzel Shrine that can only be opened after the dungeon is completed. To the east is a door that leads into a room that contains a Gold Skulltula, two Forgotten, some Dwarven arrows, an enchanted Dwarven Bow, and a dresser that contains the Dwemer Songbook. Proceed down the western corridor to arrive at an elevated ramp with a door at the top. The door leads to a square-shaped room with a pillar in the center and two Stalchildren waiting within. On the west side of the pillar is a chest that contains the first Small Key. The west side of the room has been reduced to rubble, but a cave opening is accessible.

Go through the cave entrance and proceed down the corridor. Within the cave is a Stalhound, which will attack on sight. The cave winds through Dwemer ruins and leads to a web-covered room with two pillars at the west and east. The north side of the room has collapsed, and the door has fallen to the floor. In the room are six Skulltulas, with one guaranteed Gold Skulltula. The room also contains several dessicated corpses, a sample of Skin of Redead, a leveled bow, and a leveled pair of gauntlets. In the east of the room is a dessicated corpse that contains the second Small Key. The southern door is opened with the first Small Key, which was found in the previous room.

The door leads to a damaged corridor blocked by a thick web. Break the web and follow a breach in the wall to a large cave. A wall has collapsed into this cave, resulting in a ramp to the next room. The room contains two pillars at the north and south respectively. The northern pillar bears the first Piece of Heart on its north side. The room is occupied by three Forgotten, a Stalchild, and a Skulltula. A chest in the room can be opened with the second Small Key, which found in the dessicated corpse in the previous room. Another chest containing a third Small Key is buried in the north-eastern portion of the central rubble pile. This key opens the door at the east side of the room. A door at the west is already open, and following it leads to a corridor occupied by four Stalchildren, one of which may climb out of a pile of dirt at the base of a steep incline. The incline can be climbed to reach a chest and the first bottle of Great Fairy's Tears in the dungeon, as well as the corpse of a Thalmor Soldier ordered to investigate the ruin. In the center of the room is a large pile of rubble.

The eastern door leads to a mostly intact corridor occupied by five Stalchildren. Two of these Stalchildren are at the beginning. The corridor also contains a large chest. At the end of the corridor are three Stalchildren and a large door.

The door leads to a room with three pillars, one in the northeast corner, one in the southeast corner, and another in the northwest corner. The room is occupied by three Forgotten, a Stalchild, a Poe, and a Redead. A door at the south is locked.In the south-western corner of the room is a hole in the wall, and in the south-eastern corner of the room stands a pillar with several levers on it. The hole in the wall leads to a crypt filled with several coffins, two Redeads, and one Forgotten. Only three of the coffins contain items, all of which are in the southern section of the room. One coffin contains a Gold Skulltula Token, another contains a bottle of Great Fairy’s Tears, and the last one contains a Sacred Shield and a dagger. At the base of the pillar lies a dead Argonian and the Mage’s Journal, along with some charcoal, a potion of cure disease, a torch, and either a spell tome for Candlelight or Magelight. Pull the south-eastern most lever on the pillar for the door to open. Behind the door is a Stalfos.

Continue down the corridor to find a Skulltula, six Stalchildren, a chest, and a Forgotten. Further down the corridor lies a door that leads into a slanted, collapsed, square room that contains a Stalfos, a Gold Skulltula, two Redead, and three Forgotten. The west side of the room contains a door, in the south-western corner of the room lies the second Piece of Heart, and in the north-western corner of the room lies a dead Nord. Near him is a knapsack carrying Small Key 4, which opens the western door, and the Warrior’s Journal . Tucked away in the corner past the Nord is a Gossip Stone. Open the door and proceed down the natural, rocky passage.

The passage opens up to a large, underground ravine, with a pool of water on the north side, with water falling from the ceiling into it. There is a Fairy next to the ramp, and in the water directly blow it there is a Block of Time, and a Hardy Strongbox containing Shard Note 1 of 24 and a Tarnished Shard. On the eastern side of the pool, under where the ramp starts, is a chest. Proceed up the ramp and through the passage to the north of the Orichalcum ore vein to find that the passage has been flooded. Swim through the flooded passage until you reach land. Turn right and go up a ramp to find a passage forward with 2 dead Falmer. Above the entrance is a bottle of Great Fairy's Tears. If it's not there, you may have to find a way to clip through walls in the water section previously and check the walls, as it might be under a second layer of ground. Continue through the passage and turn right to be greeted by a Wolfos. Proceed through the corridor to the east to find a large, stony passage with a Falmer Nightprowler, and a Bokoblin lurking inside. Continue north down the passage to find four Falmer chests. In front of the easternmost chest lies a sample of Gold Dust, and behind the chest lies a Dark Essence. Go back up the passage and proceed down the glowing passage to the west. The passage leads into a square Dwemer room with a Redead, Gold Skulltula, two Moonstone ore veins on the north side of the room, a Gold Skulltula Token by a door on the south-western side of the room, and Dwarven equipment in the south-eastern corner of the room. The Redead may have wandered into the passage with the Falmer and Bokoblin. The south-eastern corner of the room includes two Dwarven Bows and a chest containing fifty Dwarven Arrows and the Tower Key. Go through the western door to find a large Dwemer room containing a Darknut who carries the Small Depths Key, a Forgotten, and a dead Wood Elf carrying the Scout’s Journal along with a second Gold Dust sample. On the eastern side of the room on a stone platform lies a Burial Mask. Proceed to the south to find a door that leads to a rocky passage with a Poe, a Stalchild, and a Journal next to a chest.

Ghost Ship[]

Background and Inspiration[]

Kinolangdanzel was the first dungeon to be added to Relics of Hyrule and debuted in version 3.0. It was built to house the Ocarina of Time.

The interior was remodeled and expanded from its original incarnation, replacing a simple corridor with a cave system.

The dungeon is designed to imply that it is built upon a geologic fault. Rooms are split, tilted, and shifted. This effect was accomplished by building the dungeon within Creation Kit, then selecting and moving half of it. The rifts were then filled in with rubble and stone. In version 6.5, the dungeon shifted and changed to reflect this.

A dragon was originally intended to guard Kinolangdanzel Tower, but was removed because of the dungeon's placement on the edge of the map and near a boundary that cannot be crossed.

Kinolangdanzel serves to pay loose tribute to Ocarina of Time. This was done through the prevalence of Redeads and Hylian Ghosts, as well as the presence of Gohma within the dungeon.

The name "Kinolangdanzel" is an anagram of "Link," "Zelda," and "Ganon."
