The {{Term|BotW|Great Zora Bridge}} opens into the {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain Square|link}}, which is centered around {{Term|BotW|Mipha's Statue|link}}. The far side of the plaza is bounded by the central structure of the Domain. The central opening in the wall leads down a short flight of stairs to a pool containing {{Plural|BotW|Fleet-Lotus Seeds|link}} and {{Plural|BotW|Bright-Eyed Crab|link}}. The {{Term|BotW|Ne'ez Yohma Shrine|link}} is found in the center of this pool. To the sides of this opening are a shopping center, {{Term|BotW|Marot Mart|link}}, and the {{Term|BotW|Seabed Inn|link}}. A pair of stairways on the outer sides of these buildings lead to the {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain|display=Domain}}'s second floor, where a large roofed area contains the {{Term|BotW|Sleeping Chamber|link}}.

Below {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain}} are several small islands within a large lake, though a {{Term|BotW|Ladder|link}} can be used to return to the entrance. | The {{Term|BotW|Great Zora Bridge}} opens into the {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain Square|link}}, which is centered around {{Term|BotW|Mipha's Statue|link}}.
