The race of Gerudo Pirates are also found in Great Bay, and their fortress must be entered undercover.

Along with these two races, other creatures and people are found on their own in Great Bay. The fisherman who lives in a small hut on Great Bay Coast wants a photograph of a female Gerudo Pirate, and will allow Link to take his seahorse in exchange. He also offers to play a minigame which involves jumping between platforms where a Piece of Heart can be obtained.
