Rapids Ride

Rapids Ride is a recurring location in the, first introduced in. It usually refers to the location in which Link can ride in a raft or canoe.

Link's Awakening
In, Rapids Ride is a region located in the eastern part of Koholint Island. For a fee of 100 Rupees, Link can travel on a raft down a series of high-current rapids and waterfalls. As he's riding down the rapids, the young hero can also obtain items floating above the water, such as Rupees, Arrows and Bombs, by leaping with the Roc's Feather to catch them. The rapids also serves as a shortcut for getting from the northeastern to the southeastern parts of the island.

One of the islands within the Rapids Ride area can only be accessed via a staircase in Face Shrine. On this island is a treasure chest containing a Secret Seashell.

Twilight Princess
Iza's Rapid Ride, or just Rapid Ride, is both a minigame and a location in. It is located in Upper Zora's River in the Lanayru Province and runs all the way down to Lake Hylia. The minigame is run by Iza and her Zora friend.

At first, the minigame is not available since a rockfall dammed up the river. As such, if Link speaks to Iza, she will simply ignore him. To get the minigame to open, Link must walk around the area beside the fishing hole and soon he will be attacked by Shadow Beasts. After defeating them, Iza will be impressed by Link's bravery and let him into her hut. She will request that Link help her out by clearing a path downstream. If he agrees to clear the debris that has clogged the flow of the river, Iza will lend Link a Bomb Bag and fill up his quiver with Arrows. By shooting the rocks that are visible from the hut's interior, Link will be able to row down the rapids and clear the rest of the rocks that are blocking the waterflow. Once Link reaches Lake Hylia, Iza's Zora assistant will allow him to keep the Bomb Bag.

Link can return to Iza's hut at any time after clearing the river to play Iza's minigame for 20 Rupees. This time, Link has to smash pots using Bomb Arrows. Yellow pots are worth one point, while red ones are worth two points. However, if Link bumps into anything on his canoe, he will lose one point. If Link scores at least 25 points by the time he reaches Lake Hylia, Iza's assistant will reward him by doubling his Bomb-carrying capacity in all of his Bomb Bags.

Link's Crossbow Training
The Rapid Ride also appears in. Stage 2 places Link inside of a canoe and travels downstream of the river. Toadpolis and Tektites are the only enemies in the stage, while the pots of Iza's Rapid Ride can be seen and shot for points. The rocks Toadpolis spit at Link can be hit for points, as well as the hidden Orange Rupees, Fairies and Scarecrows.

Trivia

 * In Twilight Princess, there is a glitch in which the player can cause the game to crash by turning the canoe in a circle immediately after beginning the game and shooting a Bomb Arrow back in the direction of Iza's boat shack. The game will freeze after the boat has travelled a short distance down the river afterward.
