Great Bay Coast: how to get there
Ride Epona over the fence
Leave Clock Town by the west gate and play Epona’s Song on the Ocarina to call Epona; the Romani Ranch chapter explains how you earn the song. Ride west across Termina Field until you reach the wooden fence that closes off the road to the sea. On foot the fence stops you, so face it from a distance, dash toward it and let Epona jump. You land on the coast road, which winds down to the beach. A boulder beside that road hides a water grotto, counted in the Termina Field chapter.
Once you are on the sand, the bay is easy to read. The Fisherman’s Hut and the entrance to the Oceanside Spider House are on the beach itself. The Marine Research Lab stands on stilts a short swim out, with Tingle floating above it. The Pirates’ Fortress sits behind a wall of rock across the bay, Pinnacle Rock is the pair of tall rocks out in the water, and Zora Cape, with Zora Hall, the waterfall and the great turtle, lies farther along the coast.
Great Bay map and owl statue
Swim out to the Marine Research Lab, the building on stilts. Tingle floats above the water near it: shoot his balloon with an arrow, then buy the Great Bay map from him for 20 rupees. Strike the owl statue on the platform just outside the lab so you can warp back here with the Song of Soaring and save from here, then climb the ladder to the lab itself. The scientist inside is worried about the water, which has turned warm and cloudy, and says he has been waiting for Zora eggs to examine; you come back to him once you have them.
Fisherman’s Hut and the seahorse
Enter the Fisherman’s Hut on the left side of the beach. The fisherman complains that the sea has grown warm and that he saw a Zora floating lifeless in the water. A seahorse sits in a tank and begs, if you talk to it, to be taken back to the waters near Pinnacle Rock, but the fisherman means to sell it at the carnival unless you bring him a pictograph of the female pirates. The one he owns is blurry, and he admits that any clear picture of a pirate will do, even a guard. Take your picture in the Pirates’ Fortress below, then come back and hand it over, and he gives you the seahorse (bring an empty bottle to hold it). That starts the Pinnacle Rock quest.
How to get the Zora Mask
Rescue Mikau
Look for seagulls circling over one spot of the bay and dive in beneath them to find a badly hurt Zora floating there. Swim behind him and push him to the shore, then talk to him. He is Mikau, guitarist of the Indigo-Gos, and he gasps out that the Gerudo pirates stole the eggs of his bandmate Lulu, who has lost her voice since, before his strength gives out.
Stay beside him and play the Song of Healing. Mikau’s spirit fades and leaves you the Zora Mask. Put it on from the mask menu to become Zora Link: you can swim and dive, walk on the sea floor, throw fin boomerangs with B and hold R for an electric barrier that shocks anything that touches you and uses a little magic. A gravestone for Mikau appears on the shore. Zora Link cannot use your items, so change back to Link with the mask button whenever you need the bow or the Hookshot.
Zora Hall
Visit the band
Zora Hall is at the south end of the bay. As Zora Link, dive and swim along the sea floor from Zora Cape to the shark-jaw doorway of Zora Hall. The band members treat you as Mikau and tell you that bandleader Evan is waiting for you and that Lulu has not spoken since the eggs were taken. Evan is shut in his room writing songs and Lulu stands behind the hall staring at the sea. A shop on the east side of the hall sells shields, potions and arrows, and a back exit leads out to Lulu and the cape. You do not have to do anything about the band yet, but explore the hall, because the next two Heart Pieces are inside it.
Zora Hall Piece of Heart: Mountain Title Deed
Lulu’s room is inside Zora Hall. In it, a Business Scrub who sells Green Potions has planted himself in a Deku flower, because he wants to do business somewhere cooler and cleaner. Wear the Goron Mask and give him the Mountain Title Deed you carried from Snowhead; he pays you with the Ocean Title Deed. His Deku flower is now yours to use: switch to Deku Link, hop in and launch from it to reach the Piece of Heart on the high shelf. Lulu’s diary in this room tells how the pirates broke in at night and took her eggs. Keep the Ocean Title Deed for the scrub in Ikana Canyon; title deeds are lost if you reset time, so do the whole chain in one cycle.
Zora Hall jam session Piece of Heart (after the Hookshot)
Return here once you own the Hookshot. In the room Tijo and Mikau shared, Hookshot up to the tree on the upper level and read Mikau’s diary as Zora Link; it holds the score. Then visit Japas’s room: he plays bass, and you trade four-note phrases with him, repeating the notes from the diary. Finally, go to Evan’s room, take off the Zora Mask, and play the finished melody on the Ocarina. Evan likes it so much that he claims it as his own and pays you with a Piece of Heart.
Pirates’ Fortress walkthrough: the Hookshot
Break into the fortress
Equip the Zora Mask and swim north along the rock wall at the top of the bay, keeping some magic in reserve for later. Dive near the rock wall until you find four wooden planks on the sea floor, then swim at full speed into the second plank from the left. It breaks and opens an underwater tunnel that surfaces in a cave inside the fortress.
Pirate boats patrol overhead and the guards cannot be killed. Anyone who spots you throws you back outside, so stay under water and wait until a boat has passed before you surface or climb out. Use your electric barrier on any skeleton fish that attack you. Climb the long ramp to a ledge and wait for the next boat, then follow the walkway to the Goron switch. Put on the Goron Mask and pound it to open an underwater gate into the steel part of the fortress.
Gates, spikes and switches
Dive back in as Zora Link and enter the gate. Ram the first wooden plank, drop to the floor and pull the first block out of its slot. Ram the next planks on the left, push the second block forward one space, then swim right through the maze to a water vent that carries you up. Skim under the jets and keep clear of the mines at each stage. A fin boomerang hits the crystal switches on the way; each one briefly opens a grate, so swim through before it closes.
Pirates’ Fortress Piece of Heart
On the stairs above the water, a Piece of Heart sits in a barred cell. A floor switch for its bars is hidden behind some barrels in the opposite part of the room. Wear the Bunny Hood, step on the switch and sprint to the cell before the bars close again. Return up the stairs to carry on with the maze.
Cross the fortress and find the leader’s room
Finish the last jets, ladder and crystal switches until a door leads out onto the metal gangway. This section is pure stealth: arrows only stun a guard for a moment. Cross the open ground by waiting behind the crates, time the circling guard and climb the ladder to the watch platform. Wait until the guard on the bridge to the palace looks away, then slip through the door.
How to get the Hookshot
In the palace you overhear the pirates: four Zora eggs are kept here and three more are probably at Pinnacle Rock. Look for the barred cell that overlooks the leader’s room; Tatl points out that an arrow fits through the bars. Shoot the beehive that hangs above the room. The bees drive the pirates out.
Once the pirates have fled, drop down and walk into the room you were just spying on. Open the chest to get the Hookshot. Hold C to aim and release to fire; it grabs wooden targets, pulls you to them and reels items in. Only Link can use it, so take any mask off first.
The Hookshot opens a lot of the bay. You need it for the first egg’s tank room in the fortress, for the palm trees at Zora Cape that lead to the Beaver Brothers, for the scarecrow ledge on the northeast shore and for the palm tree on the great turtle’s island, as well as for Great Bay Temple itself.
Pirates’ Fortress Zora eggs
Four eggs are held in the fortress, each in its own tank room, and each needs its own empty bottle, so bring at least four bottles or drop some off at the lab and come back. A bottled egg does not survive the Song of Time, so do not reset while you carry one. The first egg is in the room next to the leader’s chamber: Hookshot the wooden plank on the ceiling above the tank to get in, change into Zora Link, swim down and use an empty bottle on the egg.
The other three eggs are each behind a duel. A Gerudo pirate blocks the way and challenges you with a sword. Lock on, keep your shield up until the pirate swings, then strike back; after a few hits the pirate retreats with a threat and the door opens. Each of the other three eggs sits in its own tank room further into the fortress: beat the pirate at the door, then bottle the egg as Zora Link, using the Hookshot where a plank blocks the way. Keep the electric barrier ready while you swim.
| Egg | Where | What guards it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pirates’ Fortress, tank room beside the leader’s chamber | Hookshot the ceiling plank; no duel |
| 2 | Pirates’ Fortress, tank room behind a pirate | A Gerudo pirate duel |
| 3 | Pirates’ Fortress, tank room behind a pirate | A Gerudo pirate duel |
| 4 | Pirates’ Fortress, tank room behind a pirate | A Gerudo pirate duel |
| 5 to 7 | Pinnacle Rock, one in each of three burrows | Deep Pythons; bring the seahorse |
Take a pirate pictograph
With the Pictograph Box ready, photograph a pirate guard on your first visit to the fortress. A guard on a boat or walkway near the entrance is an easy target as long as the face fills the frame; the game asks whether to keep the picture and you answer yes. Take it to the Fisherman’s Hut to collect the seahorse.
Walk back into the hut and show him the photo. He cheers that it is just the sort of picture he wanted and trades you the seahorse, and the game tells you to hurry and take it home to Pinnacle Rock. It sits in a bottle, so make sure you have an empty one.
Pinnacle Rock: seahorse and three more Zora eggs
Pinnacle Rock seahorse Piece of Heart
As Zora Link, swim north between the two stony outcrops that mark Pinnacle Rock and dive to the seabed. Follow the signs to the entrance of the sea snake lair. At the right sign, release the seahorse from its bottle. It tells you that you have strange powers and asks you to follow it, then explains that many sea snakes live in the depths and begs you to rid the area of them and help its friend.
Sea snakes, called Deep Pythons, are curled in the octagonal tunnels. Wait beside an opening until a head appears, then hit the body with your electric barrier twice and swim aside. Three of them sit on eggs, on different levels of the lair from the bottom upwards. Bottle each egg as it drops. Keep hitting the snakes until the seahorse’s friend appears in one of the alcoves; the pair thank you with a Piece of Heart.
When the last snake is gone, swim up and out of the lair into the open sea, then deliver the eggs you hold to the Marine Research Lab.
Marine Research Lab and the New Wave Bossa Nova
Deliver the eggs
Swim to the lab, climb the ladders behind the big tank to the top and pour each bottled egg into the water while you stand above it. You can bring the eggs in batches, because the scientist keeps count and tells you there are seven in all. If you were carrying fewer than seven, empty your bottles, collect the rest and come back. The eggs only react when all seven are in the tank.
How to learn the New Wave Bossa Nova
Step off the tank and watch the eggs hatch. The tadpoles line up in a row like notes on a staff, and the scientist realizes what it means: they are teaching you a melody. Put on the Zora Mask and play the notes back on Zora Link’s guitar. You learn the New Wave Bossa Nova, the song that restores Lulu’s voice. It is on the Ocarina song list: all Majora’s Mask songs.
Marine Research Lab Piece of Heart: feed the fish
A second tank holds two large fish. Catch ordinary fish with empty bottles from the water around the lab and the cape, and tip them in one at a time. The fish grow with every meal, and when one is big enough it eats the other and spits out a Piece of Heart. You will need at least four fish, and sometimes up to seven, depending on which of the two gets fed.
Zora Cape: Lulu and the great turtle
Play the song for Lulu
Leave the lab and swim along the shore to Zora Cape, then walk onto the beach by the small hut. Lulu is standing at the water’s edge. Play the New Wave Bossa Nova as Zora Link. Her voice comes back and the great turtle sleeping in the water wakes with a yawn. It calls you a proud Zora warrior and says the open seas of Great Bay need your might.
Zora Cape owl statue
Strike the Zora Cape owl statue before you leave so you can warp back here. It stands on the grassy edge of the beach, facing the great turtle. This is also the place to save and quit if you want to stop.
Zora Cape Piece of Heart: Like Like in the waterfall pool
At the far south of the cape, a whirlpool pool sits at the foot of the waterfall. Dive to the bottom as Zora Link, avoid the Skullfish and defeat the Like Like in the middle; it leaves a Piece of Heart.
Waterfall Rapids: Beaver Brothers bottle and Piece of Heart
Put the Hookshot to work on the palm trees that climb the stream south of the cape to reach the enclave above the waterfall, then put the Zora Mask back on at the top. Race the little brother through 20 rings in under two minutes, then the big brother through 25 rings; the second win gives you an Empty Bottle. Race both again with the limit cut to 1:50 each to earn a Piece of Heart, and do both rematches in the same visit.
Great Bay Coast scarecrow ledge
On the northeastern shore, Hookshot the left pillar, then the pillar to its north. Plant a Magic Bean in the soil on the ledge and water it with a bottle of water, the Song of Storms or rain. Climb the bean to the next platform, play your Scarecrow’s Song, and Hookshot the scarecrow that appears to ride up to the Piece of Heart. You compose your song in the Ocarina menu; see the song list.
Water grotto on the way
On the road from Termina Field to the beach, a boulder hides a water grotto. This Piece of Heart is counted in the Termina Field chapter.
Oceanside Spider House
The entrance is on the beach near the Fisherman’s Hut; blow it open with a bomb. It has its own page, Oceanside Spider House, with all 30 Gold Skulltula tokens, the Giant’s Wallet and a Piece of Heart earned by shooting the skull masks above the fireplace in the order the Stalchildren give you with the Captain’s Hat.
Great Bay Temple: ride the turtle
When you are ready, strike the owl statue first so you can return quickly, then talk to the great turtle on Zora Cape. Take off the Zora Mask, Hookshot a palm tree on the turtle’s island and climb onto its back. It carries you to the tornado around Great Bay Temple, where the pirates cannot follow. The turtle ride is where the Great Bay Temple walkthrough begins.
After Great Bay Temple
Fisherman’s Island jumping game
Once Gyorg is defeated, the Fisherman’s jumping game opens on the Great Bay coast. Each try costs 20 rupees: jump between the platforms and score high enough within the time limit to win a Piece of Heart. The game opens only after the temple is cleared and runs during the day.
