Giant Turtle

The Giant Turtle is a character from Majora's Mask. Although the Giant Turtle does not appear for a particularly long amount of time in this game, riding on the turtle's back is necessary to progress through the game, specifically getting to the Great Bay Temple.

Entering the Great Bay Temple

Once Link (wearing the Zora Mask) and Lulu are outside of Zora Hall at the Zora Cape, he must play the "New Wave Bossa Nova" to awaken the submerged Giant Turtle. The gargantuan beast will rise from the water and will sport a conveniently-located tree that Link can Hookshot to. This will cause the Giant Turtle to begin swimming to the Great Bay Temple.
