Natzu Prairie is a location in. It is located in central Holodrum at the base of the northern mountains. The area is the result if Link obtains Ricky's Flute, who is required to traverse the Prairie's landscape. If Link obtains Moosh's Flute or Dimitri's Flute, then the area will instead become the Natzu Wasteland or the Natzu River, respectively.

Features and Overview
Natzu Prairie is a grassy plateau that features a pair of hills. It is surrounded by a small river that, along with its hills, isolates it from the rest of Holodrum. It lies directly north of North Horon and Holodrum Plain. The Prairie is connected by a crossroad to the west, which sits between Holodrum Plain and the Temple Remains. Natzu Prairie is initially barred off from entry, as the drawbridge crossing the river has been drawn. The bridge is lowered by a red Switch over the river, which can only be reached by taking an alternate passage through Holodrum Plain once Link has obtained the Roc's Feather.

Natzu Prairie is the default name and landscape of the area, which will otherwise change to accommodate the abilities of Link's animal companion, whom without Link is unable to navigate the area. The Prairie will not change if Link obtains Ricky's Flute. Natzu Prairie features pitfalls and bushes, requiring Ricky's tornado punches and jumps to clear over them.

A cave housing a Fairy Fountain is located in the rockface of the Prairie's first hill. Another cave is found in the second hill, where a singing Deku Scrub will upgrade the capacity of Link's Seed Satchel when given the Deku Secret. A third cave sits in a small strip of land over the Prairie's river. A Treasure Chest containing 50 Rupees inside sits on the other end of a large gap, which can only be crossed via moving platforms.

The Praire ends at the Moblin's Keep to the east, where the Great Moblin threatens trespassers to pay his toll by blasting them with cannons. Beyond the Keep is Sunken City, whereupon Ricky will leave Link as the City's smell is bothersome to him.

Nomenclature
The name of the Prairie is derived from, the Japanese word for "summer." Contradictorily, Natzu is in perpetual spring, being one of the few regions without a Tree Stump to change the season.
