Waking Water

Waking water is a slightly silverish liquid found only in Silent Realms. If Link touches the water, the Guardians will awaken and give chase to Link, negating the effects of the Sacred Tears until the next one is collected. Sometimes, the water will rise in a spot, then recede and disappear, then rise again. The other thing that should be noted about the liquid is that Link can neither swim nor sink in it; he only stands on top of it.
