Inhabited and run by [[Gerudo]] pirates, the [[Pirates' Fortress]] is a well-developed metallurgical building, capable of operating with currents of water (as seen underwater in the outer area), and disposing of small-sized telescopes for distant watch, thermally regulated aquariums to guard [[Zora Egg]]s, and cannons for long-distance attacks, among other things. Likewise, the pirates travel through water thanks to motorboats (whose fuel is likely stored in the metal barrels seen in some rooms). This technology may not actually belong to them, however.

In the {{Term|MM3D|Marine Research Lab|link}}, there is a thermally-regulated aquarium as well, and is even deeper than the ones seen in the fortress. Likewise, the [[Fisherman]] has a motorboat to help tourists reach his island to play the [[Fisherman's Jumping Game]]; so either the Gerudo tribe copied the engineery, or it's simply a commonplace aspect of [[Great Bay]] as a whole. | ||
The third dungeon in the game, the [[Great Bay Temple]], shows even more than anything else in the entire game about technology in Termina. Theorized to be built either by [[Zora]]s or by divine intervention, the temple serves as a power generating plant, operating thanks to giant waterwheels, water-based elevators, and generators; neon lights illuminate the doors and passages, suggesting that part of the water's mechanic energy being turned into electric energy. Given the dungeon's position at the mouth of the bay, it may generate electricity via the {{wp|Tidal power|power of the tides}}. Such tidal power plants have only been built in a limited scale in the real world. No other dungeon or place in the series, with the possible exception of the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]], has featured this unprecedented level of technology. | The third dungeon in the game, the [[Great Bay Temple]], shows even more than anything else in the entire game about technology in Termina.
