'''Waterfall Rapids''', also known as the '''Fall Headwaters''',{{Ref|name=Fall Headwaters|MM|453|Sign}} is a location in the [[Great Bay]] region of [[Termina]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. It is nestled off to the west side of [[Great Bay Coast]].{{Ref|Beaver Bros.|The Beaver Bros. were a comical duo who once lived atop the Waterfall Rapids in Termina's Great Bay Coast. They innocently challenged Link to a race, not realizing that they were writing themselves a place in Terminan history.|[http://zelda.com/universe/pedia/b.jsp#BeaverBros. The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]}} The journey to the Rapids involves [[Link]] having to utilise the [[Hookshot]] to ascend onto the palm trees on the many platforms that lead to the summit of the waterfall.{{Ref|pg. 82|Aim your hookshot up and to the left to pull yourself over to a palm tree. Continue reeling yourself over to the palm trees lining the cliffside until you reach the summit and Fall Headwaters.|''[[Nintendo Power Majora's Mask Strategy Guide]]''}} This is also the main location in which the [[Beaver Brothers]] reside,{{Ref|name=Fall Headwaters}} where they run a series of [[Mini-Game]]s.  

At the top of the Waterfall Rapids, Link can play a game with the Beaver Brothers in order to obtain an [[Bottle|Empty Bottle]].{{Ref|MM|2475\2476|Beaver Brothers}} Wearing the [[Zora Mask]], Link must race through rings in an allotted time and meet or exceed the requirements.{{Ref|MM|2477|Beaver Brothers}} If he does not go through one of the rings, the subsequent rings he swims through will not count.{{Ref|pg. 82|If you skip [a ring], the subsequent rings you swim through won't count.|''Nintendo Power Majora's Mask Strategy Guide''}} On first completion, the older brother refuses to give Link his reward and claims that he must race him before rewarding the young hero.{{Ref|MM|2493\2494\2495|Beaver Brothers}} The rules change slightly when Link races the older brother, as now there are 25 rings that Link must swim through.{{Ref|MM|2499|Beaver Brothers}} When Link has beaten the second challenge, he is gifted with an Empty Bottle.
