It&#8217;s called the Earth Temple, although &#8220;Fire Temple&#8221; would have been more appropriate. Fire and lava abound. I soon found myself rolling on a giant stone ball through lava. There&#8217;s no way this would work in real life.

I had to bowl some bomb flowers to break open a wall to do it. I&#8217;m not enjoying the bomb-rolling controls. It doesn&#8217;t always seem to work right and a good portion of the time, the bomb goes off before Link will roll the bomb. Anyway, I get his bomb bag and bring it back to him. I ask him if I can borrow it, but instead, he gives it to me. Thanks, Ledd!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-98\" src=\"http:\/\/jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss50-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"Ledd: I'm GIVING you my bomb bag!\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss50-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss50.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I can now put bomb flowers into the bag. You wouldn&#8217;t think putting a bomb with a lit fuse into a bag full of bombs would be a good thing to do, but in this game, it&#8217;s perfectly safe. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moving along, I find the dungeon map. One thing I&#8217;ve noticed so far is that dungeons in this game (at least so far) don&#8217;t have multiple floors. Some rooms do have areas of different heights, but everything is represented as a single floor on the map. In other words, you can&#8217;t be directly above or below another part of the dungeon. But I am only on the 2nd dungeon after all, and that could possibly change in later levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another thing I&#8217;ve noticed where Skyward Sword is different from other Zelda games, is that there isn&#8217;t a compass to find in the dungeons. Usually the compass would show you which way you&#8217;re facing and show you the location of treasure chests, but in Skyward Sword, the dungeon map does both of those things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-99\" src=\"http:\/\/jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss51-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Finding the dungeon map.\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss51-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss51.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>It was getting late, so I stopped about half-way through the dungeon and saved my game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note: For those who wish to view my video of the first dungeon (Skyview Temple), here they are.
