Southern Mine

Southern Mine is a mine cave in Eldin Canyon with broken mine-cart rails. A Rusty Shield chest sits on a ledge near the entrance, a Cobble Crusher chest waits beside the rails, and breakable boulders hide the Bubbulfrog that drops a Bubbul Gem. Trade gems to Koltin in The Hunt for Bubbul Gems!

How to find it

The entrance is at map coordinates 1800, 1983, near Gortram Cliff. Look for the cave mouth at that spot; a Blupee or a ring of light often marks them.

Inside the cave

Grab the Rusty Shield on the way in

Before the mine proper, a Like Like clings to the rock above a ledge. Shoot it until it drops, then climb up and open the chest for a Rusty Shield.

Follow the mine rails

Enter the mine and follow the wooden rails under the red mining lanterns. Fire Keese flutter through the tunnel; shoot them from range.

Open the Cobble Crusher chest

The rails are broken and run to the south-west. Follow them to a mine cart with a chest on the floor beside it. It holds a Cobble Crusher, a weapon that smashes rocks easily.

Break the boulders and shoot the Bubbulfrog

Round breakable boulders next to the chest block a second room. Smash them with the Cobble Crusher or a bomb, then shoot the Bubbulfrog that waits behind them for a Bubbul Gem.
