Lakebed Temple

Lakebed Temple, also known as the Zora Temple, is the third dungeon within Twilight Princess. It is located at the bottom of Lake Hylia, and as such, is thought by many to be the very same Water Temple seen in Ocarina of Time.

The temple is based around water and seems to be a spiritual successor to the Water Temple of Ocarina of Time, but is based on the manipulation of the flow of water, and would hence be more closely linked to the Great Bay Temple from Majora's Mask—several rooms even contain large gears and waterwheels, which, along with all the complex machinery in the Goron Mines, seems to show a considerable advancement in technology since the time of Ocarina of Time.

This temple's greatest feature is its rotating central staircase, which must be manipulated to control the flow of water in the dungeon. Using different handles and mechanisms, Link must manipulate the flow of water to move waterwheels and platforms to get deeper into the temple. Link's main goal is to get the water level in the rotating central staircase room high enough to reach the boss door. The item Link receives in this temple is the Clawshot, a highly upgraded version of the Hookshot. It is acquired after defeating the mini-boss, the Deku Toad.

The final boss is Morpheel, a giant eel-like creature with eight tentacles and a single eye that can travel freely between them. Upon clearing the dungeon, Link receives the third and final Fused Shadow and another Heart Container.
