The Great Bay is the third main region that Link must travel to in Majora's Mask. To get there, Link must have Epona. On Link's first arrival, he finds out that the bay's waters have become murky and too warm, which is causing many problems within the region. After bringing one of the dying Zoras to shore, whose name is Mikau, Link finds out that the Pirates have stolen Lulu's eggs, which Link must retrieve. After Link obtains all seven eggs, he takes them to the Marine Research Lab, where he learns the New Wave Bossa Nova, which allows him to reach the Great Bay Temple. After defeating the boss of the Great Bay Temple, the bay's waters return back to normal for the rest of the three-day cycle.

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