Zora's Waterfall

Zora's Waterfall is a recurring location in the Zelda series. In all of its appearances, the waterfall is located in different areas pertaining to the Zoras.

A Link to the Past
In A Link to the Past, Zora's Waterfall is located in Zora's Lake and is the home of King Zora. It is here that Link can purchase the Flippers for 500 Rupees. Zora's Waterfall is on the northeast side of Hyrule, just south of Death Mountain.

Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, Zora's Waterfall is known as the Sleepless Waterfall. It serves as a barrier to impede outsiders from entering Zora's Domain. Link must play "Zelda's Lullaby" to get through this waterfall and access the home of the Zoras. When revisited in the future, Ganondorf has cast an evil spell upon the village, and even though the waterfall on the outside is still flowing, the inside of Zora's Domain is completely frozen.

Inside Zora's Domain is another waterfall that flows from King Zora's throne. It serves as the starting point for the Diving Game, where Link can obtain the Silver Scale.

Twilight Princess
In Twilight Princess, the waterfall is frozen at first, along with the rest of Zora's Domain, and needs to be thawed out by releasing the water in within the throne room with the Molten Shard from Death Mountain. After Link helps the Zoras, one at the base of the waterfall will offer to carry him up the waterfall to the throne room in an impressive display of swimming power.
