==Locations and Features==
===Great Bay Coast===
{{Main|Great Bay Coast}}
The [[Great Bay Coast]] is the main part of the region. Found in the coast is the [[Fisherman's Hut]] as well as the [[Oceanside Spider House]]. The coast provides access to the other parts of the western region.
===Marine Research Laboratory===
{{Main|Marine Research Laboratory}}
The [[Marine Research Laboratory]] is located some meters from the coast. It is where various marine biology experiments are carried out. Link finds here the tank in which he should place the [[Zora Egg]]s stolen from singer [[Lulu]] by the Gerudo Pirates from the northern fortress.<ref>{{Cite|Oh! Baby, listen to me. I don’t want to beg. Gerudo Pirates! They stole that girl’s eggs|Mikau|MM}}</ref>
===Fisherman's Hut===
{{Main|Fisherman's Hut}}
The Fisherman's Hut is where the [[Fisherman]] lives, where he used to practice fishing until the coast became unsafe. He has a [[Seahorse]] for sale. The Fisherman wants a [[Pictograph]] of a Gerudo Pirate, and will allow Link to take his Seahorse in exchange. He also offers to play a mini-game which involves [[Fisherman's Jumping Game|jumping between platforms]], where a [[Piece of Heart]] can be obtained.
===Oceanside Spider House===
{{Main|Oceanside Spider House}}
The [[Oceanside Spider House]] is a cursed, abandoned house east from the coast. It is full of [[Gold Skulltula]]s. A man seeking shelter appears here once all of the Skulltulas inside have been slain, and will give Link various awards depending on which Day he had cleared the house out.
===Pirates' Fortress===
{{Main|Pirates' Fortress}}
The Pirates' Fortress is the refuge of the dreaded Gerudo Pirates.<ref>{{Cite|Ah! Mikau! What are you doing in a place like this? This is the ominous Pirates’ Fortress. I don’t think you should get too close.|Zora|MM}}</ref> Having an industrial appearance, it is a stronghold where the stolen [[Zora Eggs]] are held inside pools of water (although only four of the Eggs are actually kept here, since the Pirates lost the other three).
===Pinnacle Rock===
{{Main|Pinnacle Rock}}
[[Pinnacle Rock]] is northwest from the coast. It is a formation of rocks filled with nothing but murky water. Beneath the waves of these waters (deep under the rocks) is home to the [[Deep Python]]s.<ref>{{Cite|Here in the depths of Pinnacle Rock live many dangerous sea snakes…|Seahorse|MM}}</ref>
===Zora Cape===
{{Main|Zora Cape}}
[[Zora Cape]] is south from the coast. It is where a river ends its path towards the sea. It is full of rock elevations, and it is also where Link can find the rest of Great Bay's areas, including a [[Fairy Fountain]].
===Zora Hall===
==Features and Overview==
{{Main|Zora Hall}}
The {{Term|MM3D|Great Bay Region}} is located in the west of {{Term|MM3D|Termina|link}}. It is a large shoreline that is home to the aquatic race of {{Plural|MM3D|Zora|link}} from {{Term|MM3D|Zora Hall|link}}, the {{Plural|MM3D|Beaver|link}} atop the {{Term|MM3D|Waterfall Rapids}}, and {{Plural|MM3D|Gerudo Pirate|link}}. Its waters have turned warm and murky as a result of the {{Plural|MM3D|Monster|link}} plaguing the {{Term|MM3D|Great Bay Temple|link}}, threatening those who depend on the sea for life.<ref>{{Cite|Lately, the seawater has gotten really warm. It hasn't helped my fishing at all... And what's worse, this water has gotten murky, so when I ship out, I always lose my way and somehow end up back at shore. We fishermen – and even the fish - are in a real predicament!|Fisherman|MM}}</ref>
[[Zora Hall]] is the congregation area for the Zoras, found inside a coral reef a few meters from the river. It is also the home of the famous rock band [[The Indigo-Go's]].
===Great Bay Temple===
The entrance to the {{Term|MM3D|Great Bay Region}} is barricaded by fences, making it inaccessible except by jumping the fences by {{Term|MM3D|Horse|link}}.
{{Main|Great Bay Temple}}
The [[Great Bay Temple]] is the only temple in Termina that is not located within a specific area. It is inaccessible to most people and is surrounded by a very powerful cyclone of water.
===Waterfall Rapids===
===Areas===
{{Main|Waterfall Rapids}}
{{#section:Locations in Majora's Mask|Great Bay Region}}
Found east of Zora Cape, the [[Waterfall Rapids]] are accessed from behind the top of the river's waterfall.<ref>{{Cite|Hey, aren’t you Mikau? Were you able to get an empty bottle from the beavers on top of the waterfall? Those guys are quick, so it's pretty tough, isn't it?|Zora|MM}}</ref> It is the home of two [[Beaver Brothers|Beaver]]s, who will race Link and, on the event of losing, will give away an empty [[Bottle]] (after two races) and a Piece of Heart (after four).

The Great Bay Region is located in the west of Termina. It is a large shoreline that is home to the aquatic race of Zora from Zora Hall, the Beavers atop the Waterfall Rapids, and Gerudo Pirates. Its waters have turned warm and murky as a result of the Monsters plaguing the Great Bay Temple, threatening those who depend on the sea for life.[5]
