The '''Flippers''', also known as the '''Zora's Flippers''', are a recurring item in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].

=== The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past ===
The Flippers in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' are known as the Zora's Flippers. Zora's Flippers can be bought at the remarkable price of 500 [[Rupee]]s at [[Zora's Waterfall]]. With the Flippers, [[Link]] gains the ability to swim. This expands the amount of areas Link can reach by water greatly as he is no longer limited to shallow water.


==''Link's Awakening''==
The Flippers in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' are found in [[Angler's Tunnel]]. The Flippers allow Link to swim in deep water. Link can find items in certain places and underwater passages. As soon as Link receives the Flippers, Link will
always be able to swim in deep water. Meaning that the Flippers are automatically used by Link, instead of having to press a button to use it.


Zora's Flipper can be purchased from Zora, the leader of the River Zoras in Zora's Lake, for the price of 500 Rupees. They not only allow him to swim, but also allow him to make use of the Whirlpool transport system, which provides more direct routes to the different bodies of water in Hyrule.
==''Oracle of Seasons''==
Link can obtain the Zora's Flippers in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' by passing the test of the [[Master Diver]] in the [[Sunken City]]. The Zora's Flippers are used to traverse deep waters and are required for accessing key areas of the game's narrative.


In the Game Boy Advance port of the game, Link can also dive for a short while with the "B" button. However, diving does not serve any other use than eventual dodging of enemy attacks.
==''Oracle of Ages''==
The Flippers in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', called Zora's Flippers, are found under [[Cheval's Tomb]]. The Flippers allow Link to swim in deep water. The flippers are later replaced by the [[Mermaid Suit]], which allows Link to dive underwater.

Link can climb the books to get to the [[Minish]] here and he will drop Link down into a cave-like area. Link can then navigate his way to the Flippers. Like in previous games, the Flippers allow Link to swim in water as well as dive down for some secret [[Rupee]]s or [[Recovery Heart|Hearts]].

Link obtains Zora's Flippers by passing Cheval's tests in the cavern located beneath his gravestone in Yoll Graveyard. In the same area, Link must use the newly obtained Flippers to get Cheval Rope.

After returning all the borrowed books to the Royal Hyrule Library, Link is able to visit and speak to the Minish Elder, Librari, about how to enter the Temple of Droplets, home of the Water Element. Librari drops Link into the Hyrule Town Sewers where the hero finds the Flippers. In this game, Link can swim with the Flippers, as well as dive, which occasionally leads to items such as a Small Key or a Piece of Heart. Link's swimming speed can be increased by catching the Joy Butterfly found in the Royal Valley, which appears after a successful Kinstone fusion with Nayru.

The Flippers in A Link to the Past are known as the Zora's Flippers. Zora's Flippers can be bought at the remarkable price of 500 Rupees at Zora's Waterfall.

Link's Awakening

The Flippers in Link's Awakening are found in Angler's Tunnel. The Flippers allow Link to swim in deep water. Link can find items in certain places and underwater passages. As soon as Link receives the Flippers, Link will always be able to swim in deep water. Meaning that the Flippers are automatically used by Link, instead of having to press a button to use it.

Oracle of Seasons

Like in previous games, the Flippers allow Link to swim in water as well as dive down for some secret Rupees or Hearts.
