The '''Great Bay''' is the third main location that [[Link]] must travel to in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. To get there he must have [[Epona]]. When first there the ocean is too warm, which is killing the Zoras. After bringing one of the dying Zoras to shore, whose name is [[Mikau]], our hero finds out that the pirates (Gerudo) have stolen some of Mikau's girlfriend's eggs; some others are lost at sea which he must also retrieve. After Link retrieves them, he takes them to the [[Marine Research Lab]], where he learns from the eggs the [[New Wave Bossa Nova]], which allows him to reach the Great Bay Temple. After defeating the boss of the Great Bay Temple the ocean goes back to normal for the rest of the three-day cycle.

==Locations==

===Great Bay Coast===

This is the main area within Great Bay and it is home to many of the locations that Link first comes upon. The waters along the coast have become murky and unsafe due to evil hidden deep within the Temple. This area also leads off to the many other areas of the Great Bay Region, such as the [[Zora Hall]] and the [[Pirates' Fortress]].

===Oceanside Spider House===

The house is right next to the [[Fisherman's Hut]] and can be entered to find all thirty of the [[Gold Skulltula]]s for a reward. The rewards differ depending on which day it is. If the young hero completes the house by the end of the fourth day he is gifted with a [[Giant Wallet]] and if completed on th t second day he is rewarded a [[Rupee|Purple Rupee]] while on the 3rd and final day Link is only rewarded with a Red Rupee.  

===Fisherman's Hut===

The hut is located right next to the [[Oceanside Spider House]]. It's home to the [[Fisherman]] who has various fishing equipment and a picture of a [[Gerudo Pirate]] and a [[Seahorse]] inside a water tank.

===Marine Research Lab===

The lab can be seen from the shore and is located just off the Great Bay Coast. It's a small house with the [[Professor]] inside. There is an [[Owl Statue]] located right before the ladder to the entrance. Link must return the [[Zora Egg]]s from the Pirates' Fortress to the fish tank within the lab.  

===Pirates' Cove===  

This Cove is located to the north of the coast and can only find a huge wall and some [[Gerudo]] pirates here guarding the entrance. In order to enter the Pirates' Fortress, he must transform into a Zora and swim underneath to find the hidden passage.

===Pirates' Fortress===

The Fortress is heavily guarded by [[Gerudo Pirate]] and can be accessed via a secret passage hidden beneath the shore. The first area of the Fortress is mainly water and is watched over by Gerudo's in small boats. Within the actual grounds lie many Gerudo's who seek to guard the area from intruders. Link must find four Zora Eggs here and then return them to the Marine Research Lab. Link can also obtain the [[Hookshot]] here which helps the young hero later on.  

===Pinnacle Rock===

This is an area far into the deep waters of the Great Bay. Link must enlist the help of the Seahorse in order to successfully navigate to this location. Here Link can find two out of the six Zora Eggs, however they are guarded within small caverns guarded by the treacherous [[Deep Python]]s.  

===Zora Hall===

The Zora Hall is the main area in which the Zora race reside within he land of Termina. Here Link finds the [[Zora Shop]], where he can buy usefully items and [[Potion]]s. Within the the center of the Hall lies a large music stage where the popular music band, the [[Indigo-Go's]] play.  

===Zora Cape===

The cape is a form of bedrock and is the site where Link finds the Owl Statue for the Zora Hall Coast area and also the sire where the [[Giant Turtle]] resides. If Link plays the New Wave Bossa Nova, he can awaken the Giant Turtle who can lead Link onto the Great Bay Temple.  

===Great Bay Temple===

Once Link has awakened the Turtle he can the safely travel to the distant Temple which has been the cause if the murky and unsafe safe waters of the bay. Within this dungeon Link pumps and manipulates the water and the young hero must also make use of the [[Zora Mask]] to navigate the waters within. Link obtains the [[Ice Arrow]]s and faces the Gargantuan Masked Fish: [[Gyorg (Boss) ]]. After defeating the final boss the curse on the waters lifts and Link is gifted with a [[Heart Container]] as well as [[Gyorg's Remains]].  

===Waterfall Rapids===

The rapids are above the waterfall on the south side of the coast and to east of the Zora Hall. Here Link can find two beavers who lst him play a mini-game. If Link is successful two times he is gifted a [[bottle]], however after two more difficult races with the opposing Beaver he is rewarded with [[Piece of Heart]]. Link can access the rapids by using the hookshot to climb upfew up the many ledges leading towards the of the waterfall.

When saving all the [[Zora Egg]]s and putting them in the water tank they will teach [[Link]] the song. The song can be used in order to restore [[Lulu]]'s voice and waking the [[Giant Turtle]].

==Non-Canon Appearances==

Great Bay appeared as a playable stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. This stage is purely based off the Marine Research Lab. Tingle is floating above, and you can pop his balloon, causing him to fall. In the background, you can see the moon descending, and then the [[Four iant]]s pushing it back up. The turtle also appears in this stage, but only for a limited time.
