The Shrine Waterfall is a location in Link's Awakening.[1]

Features and Overview

The Shrine Waterfall is located in the region on the eastern coast of Koholint Island. However, in both the original game and Link's Awakening DX, it forms the south-eastern section of the Rapids Ride region, which encompasses the regions Shrine Waterfall and Rapids Ride from Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch.[2]

The area consists of a small maze with rocks and grass blocking passage, and a river in the north. In Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch, a Secret Seashell can be found hidden underneath a lone rock in the north-east of the maze. An Owl Statue is situated on the very eastern edge of the area, speaking cryptically of the Wind Fish's sleep.[3] The tree behind contains a hidden Fairy that will appear if Link rams into it with the Pegasus Boots.

The eponymous waterfall in this region is where the Rapids Ride to the north ends and is the source of the river which runs through the north of the region. The Shrine Waterfall has direct connections to the Face Shrine and Ancient Ruins regions. A cave in the northern cliffs leads to Tal Tal Heights, where the Rapids Ride begins.

Link must pass through the region in order to access the Ancient Ruins in the south, and later the Face Shrine in the north-west.
