Tabahl Woods Cave

Tabahl Woods Cave is a cave in Lanayru Great Spring, about 79 map units from Zora River. It has 3 entrances. Caves like this one hide chests and a Bubbulfrog that drops a Bubbul Gem; trade the gems to Koltin in The Hunt for Bubbul Gems!

How to find it

The entrances are at map coordinates 2674, 287 and 2605, 227 and 2679, 217, near Zora River. Look for the cave mouth at that spot; a Blupee or a ring of light often marks them.

Inside the cave

Find the entrance in the woods

The cave opens at the bottom of a rocky ravine in the woods north of Zora River. Inside, the floor is a maze of rotted wooden scaffolds over dark water, so move carefully along the planks.

Open the Zora Spear chest

Cross the first wooden platform and open the chest on it for a Zora Spear. Watch your footing, as the planks are old and broken.

Defeat the Bubbulfrog

The Bubbulfrog hangs near the platforms just past the first chest. Shoot it with an arrow or hit it with a thrown item to drop a Bubbul Gem.

Reach the Zora Sword chest

Keep following the scaffolds deeper into the cave and climb the last rocky shelf to the glowing chest. It holds a Zora Sword.

Entrances, enemies and chest notes

The cave has three entrances inside Tabahl Woods, southwest of the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower: one off the main path to the north, one off the main path to the west, and one just northwest of Tabahl Woods Well. All three lead into the same open cavern, so any of them works. Horriblins patrol the cavern, and Like Likes lurk near the north and east entrances; the west entrance is clear. The nearest shrine is Joniu Shrine, and the cave has no Korok seed of its own.

The Bubbulfrog is in the cavern with the Horriblins and drops its Bubbul Gem to an arrow or a thrown item. Treasure: the chests seen here held a Zora Spear and a Zora Sword. Several wiki guides list only a single chest at the northwest end of the cave, containing a Lizal Spear (Blue Lizal Spear, scaling up with your progress), so the exact weapon tier or variant may differ from what is listed here; expect a spear at the northwest end either way.
