The '''Lakeside Laboratory''' is a location in {{OoT}}. Located in the shores of [[Lake Hylia]], it is home to a [[Lake Scientist]] who tries to resolve the lake's many mysteries.<ref>{{cite|Lakeside Laboratory - Daily trying to get to the bottom of the mysteries of Lake Hylia! --Lake Scientist|Sign|OoT}}</ref>

==Features and Overview==

Inside the laboratory, [[Link]] can find the Lake Scientist's experiments as well as a pool. Link can dive in the pool so the scientist tells him how many meters he dove.<ref>{{cite|You may not have noticed, but I've been watching you. You dove  7 meters just now. You should be able to dive deeper!|Lake Scientist|OoT}}</ref> If Link possesses the [[Golden Scale]], he can dive to the bottom of the pool and touch the floor to receive a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]] from the scientist as a reward for his excellent diving skills.<ref>{{cite|You may not have noticed, but I've been watching you. You touched the bottom just now.  Fantastic! I'll give this to you!|Lake Scientist|OoT}}</ref> Link can also find a [[Golden Skulltula]] hidden inside the crate at the bottom of the pool. Moreover, there is a cage where a motionless shark is imprisoned. There are also two 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 {{OoT3D}}, there is a frozen [[Octorok]] instead.

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, where another Piece of Heart can be found.

According to a [[Gossip Stone]], the [[Cucco Lady]] goes to the Lakeside Laboratory to study how to breed [[Pocket Cucco|pocket-sized Cuccos]].
