Waterfall Rapids

The Waterfall Rapids is a location in Majora's Mask.

Features
The Waterfall Rapids are located at the southern end of Great Bay in the Zora Cape region. Since the entrance is high above the land, the only way to access it is by using the Hookshot to latch onto the various palm trees rooted within a series of ledges leading to the top of the waterfall.

Residing within the Waterfall Rapids are the Beaver Brothers, who consider empty bottles to be sacred items. Mikau previously competed against them in the hopes of acquiring one, but to no avail. When Zora Link appears in the rapids, they mistake him for the recently deceased guitarist of the Indigo-Gos. As such, Link can also attempt to obtain a bottle through successfully completing an obstacle course known as the Beaver Falls Race. One of the two brothers will lead the way through a series of rings, all of which Link must swim through in the correct order and within the set time limit of 2:00 in order to claim victory. The first person to challenge him is the younger of the two brothers, and his course features a total of 20 rings; after his defeat, the elder brother will also compete against Link and his race includes an additional 5 rings, adding up to a total of 25. Once both lose to Link, they acquiesce his request for an empty bottle.

A Piece of Heart can also be earned through a subsequent playthrough of the Beaver Falls Race during the same three-day cycle. The rules are the same, except that the time limit for both races has been shortened to 1:50 (a ten second decrease with respect to the original obstacle course).
