Example Images:

Goron City: 1 Grotto

GC Grotto

Required items: Adult only. Goron Tunic + Hookshot, or Ocarina + Song of Time, or Nayru's Love + Hookshot. If one-hit KO or 4x damage is on, then the glitchless logical requirements are either Ocarina + Song of Time + Goron Tunic/Longshot/Nayru's Love, or Nayru's Love + Hookshot.

Contains: Three Business Scrubs. They only sell shuffled items when scrubsanity is on.

If you are using Song of Time to reach this grotto, there are two Song of Time blocks in the lava. You can play the song once before the lava pool to spawn a block at the beginning of the lava pool, walk out past the first block, and then play the song again to spawn the second block, which will let you jump up on the ledge. The second block will not spawn if you are playing the song while standing on the first block, or if you are standing where the second block spawns. The first block is not necessary to spawn, only the second one, but will help you avoid damage if you are on low health.

If you are using a hookshot to reach this grotto, logic expects you to have Goron Tunic or Nayru's Love to avoid taking damage long enough to hookshot the target. It is possible to hookshot the target without either the tunic or Nayru's, but is somewhat precise and is a trick, not in default logic.

In one-hit KO or 4x damage, logic expects a method of reaching the grotto without taking damage. Goron Tunic and Nayru's Love allows you to step out into the lava between the two Song of Time blocks to spawn the second one, or you can spawn the first Song of Time block, go onto it, and then you can Longshot the target from there. Nayru's Love + Hookshot works the same.
