Lakeside Laboratory
Template:Place The Lakeside Laboratory is a location in Ocarina of Time. Located in the shores of Lake Hylia, it is home to a Lake Scientist who tries to resolve the lake's many mysteries.[1]
Features
Inside the laboratory, Link can find the Lake Scientist's experiments as well as a big pool. Link can dive in the pool, and the scientist will tell him how many meters he dove.[2] If Link possesses the Golden Scale, he can dive to the bottom of the pool and touch the floor to receive a Piece of Heart from the scientist as a reward for his excellent diving skills.[3] The young hero can also find a Golden Skulltula hidden inside one of the boxes at the bottom of the pool. Moreover, there is a cage where a motionless shark is imprisoned. It is presumed dead. There are also 2 glass aquariums on the desk behind the scientist, one of which holds 2 shrimp-like creatures, and another that holds a small octopus-like creature. In the 3DS version, there is a frozen Octorok instead, and the shrimp are no longer present.
There is a patch of soft soil outside the laboratory where Link can plant a Magic Bean, enabling access to the roof. The roof can also be accessed by using the Scarecrow's Song. Atop the roof is a ladder that leads to a small platform that oversees Lake Hylia, and it is also where a second Piece of Heart can be obtained.
Trivia
