If there is one video game rule that every developer must follow it is to put a treasure behind a waterfall. That’s the law. It’s considered trolling if there’s just a bland rock texture waiting for us.
Thankfully, Nintendo knew this law when they made Zelda: Ocarina of Time, although it wasn’t just waterfalls.
Zelda: Ocarina of Time is often cited as the best Zelda game, but there are so many bangers
In fact, one of the game’s biggest secrets is a chest hidden behind a lavafall. You can find one in Dodongo’s Cavern. It’s one a lot of people will miss because, well, who wants to risk being scorched for treasure?
It’s located in the area where you first fight two Lizalfos, in the southeast corner of the room. Nintendo was kind of trolling here because you can just hop right on through the lava, without taking damage. There’s only a heart in the chest, which perhaps makes it the worst hidden secret, actually.

Do you want another secret while you’re here? Of course you do.
Did you know that you can get a smooch from King Zora? If you buy the blue tunic from the shop in Zora’s domain you’ll have no reward to receive from the king after freeing him from his icy prison.
Because of this, rather than offering you the blue tunic, you’ll get a kiss instead. Link does silently turn him down, though. Which is a shame. Imagine the fan fiction that would come from this kiss.
Personally, I would have accepted the kiss, started a torrid affair, and abandoned the world of Hyrule to its fate while I was on a beach somewhere with Zora planning our future wedding.
