Well, I don't know the answers to your questions... I just know that I'm now going to incorporate at least one Zelda dungeon, room for room, into my current D&D campaign! I'm thinking the Water Temple from OoT...
If it’s anywhere near as hard, your players will hate you forever.
Could you make the wyrmling young enough that the PCs might naturally on their own think to reunite the baby with its mom? Like maybe he's only 1 year old and they've killed everything around it that could take care of it so they want to find its mom. And then the one PC might know rumors of a white dragon who's been on the rampage when she's normally been kind of aloof and leaving the village alone for the most part. Which might make a PC realize that she's probably raging because someone stole her baby.
This scenario would really depend on your PCs so if they're not the types who would care about a baby animal that's been separated from its mother then you'll have to come up with something else. But any rangers or druids in your party might naturally be inclined to see that the harmony of nature has been disrupted by the kobolds taking this baby from its mother and they would want to restore that harmony. If they're part of the Emerald Enclave (assuming your adventures are taking place in the Sword Coast) they would object to anything that disrupts the natural order, including unnecessarily killing a dragon. They would not see anything needful in slaying or abandoning the wyrmling because it is young and has not made any provocation against another creature.
Only one PC would really care, the Dragonborn paladin of Tiamat, who has a strong bond with all dragons. All my other PCs, given what my friends are like, will probably be murder hobos. But, yeah... also, any ideas for encounters leading up to the lair?
So, I am going to have the players climb a yeti infested mountain to return the white dragon wyrmling from the sunless citidel to it’s mother, so it’s mom doesn’t freeze down the players’ home village. I need a good segway from the one adventure to the other. I was thinking maybe it’s mom just straight up gives them the quest when they are gonna go to the dungeon, following one of the default story hooks.
i’ve played d&d a lot, but am a very new dungeon master, I was wondering if anybody had ideas for a black dragon’s lair, hopefully lots of kobolds, and a feel that evokes krynn during the war of the lance. I was thinking part underground part above ground like a sunken fortress, with a dragon in its tallest tower.
Hi, I just got started playing Pathfinder, (I have played 5e for a long time) and I built a male half-elf investigator, but I can’t find a good mini. If you all could give me a few links, it would be appreciated!

what separates a Zelda dungeon from a typical D&D dungeon. From what I can tell:
-more focus on puzzles
-spacial reasoning based design
-more focus on the macro challenge (navigation, “solving the dungeon”) over the micro-challenges (combat, puzzles, traps)
What do you think? How could you implement this in a d&d dungeon. What challenges would arise from translation to a pen and paper context?

So, the adventure before that is in Pax Tharkas, although the is no black dragon there, it’s actually the sunless citidel from tales from the YP

If anybody could find a mini for a male half-elf investigator (from pathfinder), that would be great!
