Matoya's Cavern is played various underground areas like Matoya's Cavern, Dwarf Village, Sarda's Cave, the Ice Cave, the caves in the Dragon Islands, and the Waterfall.

Title

There isn't an official English release of the song. The Japanese title mixes katakana, hirigana, and kanji, マトーヤの洞窟 (Matoya no Doukutsu). Matoya is the name of the seer in the game. "Doukutsu" most accurately translates to "cave," where as dai doukutsu would be the Japanese word for "cavern." However, since "Matoya's Cavern" is the more popular translation, that is what is used by this site.
