Great Bay

The Great Bay is the third main location that Link must travel to in 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. [Please Edit]

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 Giants pushing it back up. The turtle also appears in this stage, but only for a limited time.
