-In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Turtle Rock is the seventh dungeon of the [[Dark World]], and eleventh in the main game. It can only be accessed by using a warp point on the eastern peak of [[Death Mountain]]. This will warp Link to the roof of the dungeon, where he must use the [[Spell Medallions#Quake Medallion|Quake Medallion]] to open the entrance.
-This dungeon is unique in that its interior looks more like an incredibly extended cavern, instead of having a man-made architecture; likewise, the [[Cane of Somaria]] (previously won in [[Misery Mire]]) shows a new function here: it creates platforms that can travel across floating rails, which help Link to fully explore this dungeon, as well as to find torches that must be lit; this also means that a lot of magic power is required (in fact, that's an advice given to Link by [[Sahasrahla]] at the start of the dungeon).
-Some interesting references to the ''Mario'' series occur here as well: [[Chain Chomp|Chain Chomps]] make their debut, and warp pipes carry Link from spot to spot. Similar to the [[Skull Woods]], there are multiple exits, one of them even leads Link to an apparently empty dead end, but guards a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]] in the Light World. But there's more: this is the only location in the game with lava, and it's harmless since Link cannot fall into it. This [[dungeon]] houses the [[Mirror Shield]], useful to repel more powerful projectiles, and the final [[crystal]] (containing [[Princess Zelda]]) is guarded by [[Trinexx]].
-After Link clears this tough dungeon, he can access the final dungeon, which is only a few steps west (where the [[Tower of Hera]] would be in the Light World).

-'''Turtle Rock''' is the eighth and last of the main dungeons in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. The entrance to the dungeon is located on the far west of [[Koholint Island]]'s [[Tal Tal Mountain Range]]. Its entrance is a cave guarded by two [[Takkuri]] and a stone head of a turtle, which also has stone arms sticking out of the mountain walls. To reach the dungeon, [[Link]] had to travel through a few caves from the center of Tal Tal Heights and would eventually encounter a cannon spewing out an endless supply of fireballs, preventing Link from going any further. However by using the [[Mirror Shield]] that he had obtained from the seventh dungeon, [[Eagle's Tower]], Link managed to get passed the fireballs unharmed and could continue his journey, where he eventually managed to reach Turtle Rock's entrance.
-Since Link can get the Mirror Shield from Eagle's Tower before beating its boss, it's possible for him to enter Turtle Rock before clearing the Eagle's Tower dungeon. There was however a stone head blocking the way, but by playing the [[Frog's Song of Soul]] on his [[ocarina]] that he had learned from [[Mamu]], the stone head suddenly sprang with life and became the dangerous [[Turtle Head]] who attacked Link. After Link had defeated the Turtle Head, the entrance to the inside of the dungeon was finally unblocked forever. The interior of this dungeon appears to be a volcano, as there are many lava pits scattered throughout certain rooms. The walls are red and the floors are yellow. There is also a back room in the dungeon, which takes Link to the peak of western Tal Tal Heights and to the room with the Dodongo Snakes. The side rooms are the complete opposite, as they seem to be frozen and have normally indestructible ice blocks.

-This dungeon is notable for the fact that it features many previously encountered mini-bosses as enemies, many which have to be defeated for a [[key|small key]] or to move on. Some of these include [[Vire]], [[Hinox]], [[Smasher]], [[Dodongo Snake]]s and [[Rolling Bones]]. These mini-bosses however act like normal enemies, as they will reappear at a later time. The true mini-bosses of this dungeon are [[Fire Cephalopod]] and [[Blaino]], who will never reappear again once they've been defeated.
-The main tool of this dungeon is the [[Magic Rod]], which is necessary to burn away the ice blocks and to defeat the dungeon's boss, [[Hot Head]], who guards the eighth and final [[Eight Instruments of the Sirens|Instrument of the Siren]], the [[Eight Instruments of the Sirens#Thunder Drum|Thunder Drum]].
-When viewed on a map, the dungeon is in the shape of a turtle with a shell, which obviously fits the theme of the exterior of this dungeon. As with ''A Link to the Past'', this dungeon's name is a reference that the outside mountain walls has two feet sticking out, giving it the impression of a turtle. However unlike ''A Link to the Past'', Turtle Rock in ''Link's Awakening'' actually has a turtle head.
-==Trivia==
-*In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''A Link to the Past'', Link can warp to the Light World equivalent of the dungeon's entrance. Thanks to this, he can backtrack from Turtle Rock or even Ganon's Tower without having to traverse the body of [[Death Mountain]] again.
-*The ''Link's Awakening'' version of this dungeon, makes it the only dungeon in the ''Zelda'' series that has a boss directly guarding its entrance.
-*The Strategy-game ''Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne'' featured a map for multi-player matches called Turtle Rock, though it is never stated officially that this is a reference to the dungeons.
-*It is strongly believed by Team Beta Triforce that the [[Fire Temple]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' was Turtle Rock in early beta.{{fact}}
