Rift Secret Grotto

Rift Secret Grotto is a large Secret Grotto accessed by a trapdoor located east-southeast of Shor's Stone. It consists of a cave that breaks into a large, flooded cavern. It contains the Song of Passing, a Skyloft Wooden Shield, as well as a Terminan Shield, a White Fairy in a Jar and as of 6.6.2.A, the entrance to two different parts of False God Passage, one of which holds the Magic Mirror and is accessible pre-ruptured towers.
The first room contains a bandit and a cave door opened by a lever at the end of the grotto. A passage to the west leads into a large, flooded cavern. A stronger bandit guards a system of wooden platforms that lead down to the surface of the water. On the south side of the underwater ruins lies a chest containing a Skyloft Wooden Shield next to an ornate lever, and a White Fairy in a Jar. When pulled, the lever opens the cave door in the first room of the grotto. On the west side of the room lies an iron door that leads to False God Passage. Under it is the corpse of a Ganon Cultist. With the Ocarina of Time in the player's inventory, the Song of Time must be played at the end of the wooden platforms in order to reveal Blocks of Time that lead up to the door. The Eye of Truth spell will indicate that this is possible. However, the door is locked and can only be opened once the Ruptured Towers have been completed.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The Rift Secret Grotto was added in version 5.6, with the entrance to False God Passage appearing in version 6.44.
Prior to the addition of False God Passage, JKalenad had plans to expand the Rift Secret Grotto by allowing access to the flooded Ancient Nord ruin. After version 6.44, JKalenad decided to leave the grotto alone and instead connect the ruin to False God Passage. However, in version 6.6.2.A, the flooded ruin was made accessible and linked to a hidden section of False God Passage.
