The Great Bay Temple is the third dungeon in Majora's Mask. At the time the events of the game begin, the temple is victim of a curse that leaves the sea of Great Bay murky. Once Link recovers the Zora eggs laid by Lulu and takes them to the Marine Research Laboratory, Link learns the New Wave Bossa Nova, a melody he must play while in Zora form to summon a turtle in the backside exit of Zora Cape so that said turtle can take him to the temple.
To progress within it, he needs to activate numerous power plants that are part of an extremely complex network of pipes, doing so enables the functionality of water-based elevators that help Link to reach new places. Eventually, he has to invert the direction of the water's continuous flow so that the flux can take him to new parts of the temple; also in this dungeon, Link is able to get the Ice Arrows after defeating the mini-boss Wart, and uses them to defeat the Mad Jelly and Gekko for the Boss Key. The Ice Arrows are essential to freeze any portion of the water and even certain enemies, all this is important because some of the power plants will be otherwise inaccesible. If Link is able to collect all 15 stray fairies in the dungeon and return them to the Great Fairy Fountain, his reward is a Defense upgrade. The Boss of this Temple is the Gargantuan Masked Fish: Gyorg. After his defeat Link receives a full Heart Container and Gyorg's Remains.
As if to prove that Termina was more technologically advanced than Hyrule, the Great Bay Temple is actually one big factory, with churning gears, rooms and passages illuminated by neon lights (which suggest that part of the energy provided by the water motion is turned into electric energy to ensure the operability of all the machinery), and the previously cited water-based elevators and power plants. Link has to activate the yellow-colored elevator to gain access to most of the temple itself, the red-colored elevator is to gain access to the rotating lever that helps Link to invert the water's flow direction, whereas the green-colored elevator gives access to the entrance to the boss's lair.
A Link In Time
As stated before, the Great Bay Temple is a perfect example of Termina's technological advances. No one knows for sure just how the Zoras overcame such engineering feats. Both Termina and Hyrule share advances in technology so ancient that none of the current inhabitants can tell of their origins. However, most technology within the Zelda series seems to be centered around wind, water, and earth powered machinery.
