This is a comprehensive list of all the grottos in the game. All locations are named as they are in the spoiler log and are accompanied by pictures and item requirements. The purpose of this page is to aid players in finding all the grottos spread throughout Hyrule.
The location names of the stable version will be changed on the next release. When this happens, this page will be updated to reflect the new location names. Feel free to remind me on Discord if I forget. ;)
