In {{ALTTP}}, Zora's Flippers are bought from [[King Zora (A Link to the Past)|King Zora]] for 500 [[Rupee]]s and are required to reach certain areas of the game. They allow Link to use the [[Whirlpool Waterway]]s to warp between bodies of water.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Link is able to [[Diving|dive]] underwater while swimming. This can be used to avoid enemy attacks and certain traps.
