The Sea of No Return was a sea in Labrynna, found in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. It was a part of the huge Zora Seas.

The Sea of No Return was aptly named. The whirlpools here were fewer than the whirlpools of the Sea of Storms on the surface, yet the rapids that surrounded these whirlpools could pull many an experienced sailor to a watery grave. Approaching from underwater, the lack of whirlpools suddenly became an abundance, the rapids concealing several huge groups of the whirlpools, making the aquatic approach even more futile. Guarded by nature, the Ancient Tomb once lay, unseen by human eyes.

Suprisingly, it was the guardian statue of the Tokay which once held the key to reaching this tomb, penetrating the whirlpools. However, over time, the Ancient Tomb has vanished, the Sea of No Return with it, and the key to its access has become something else entirely: Moonlit Grotto.

It is unknown exactly when, or why, the Sea of No Return vanished, with the Ancient Tomb. What is known, is that the calm Crescent Strait of Crescent Island occupies the place of these once-deadly seas. Every whirlpool has also vanished, leaving only those without ship or an aquatic nature with something to fear. With the Sea's dissapearance, a great undersea maze can now be found under Crescent Island. However, only one such as a Zora or a mermaid would be capable of reaching the treasure it hides.
