The Marine Research Lab is a location featured n Majora's Mask. It is primarily located within the third region of the game, Great Bay and is situated a little ways off of the Great Bay Coast shorelines. Its only inhabitant is the Professor, who owns and takes care of the Lab. The lab contains two fish in a small tank, and a special tank that is meant for the Zora Eggs.
Story
When Link arrives at Great Bay, he is tasked with finding all seven of the Zora Eggs by Mikau. The big tank at the Marine reaserch lab holds all seven of the eggs that Link must find. Link must go to the east of the coast in order to gain access to the Pirates' Fortress, where he is able to find four of the seven missing eggs. The other three are located within the treacherous waters of Pinnacle Rock, however before entry Link must obtain the Seahorse from the Fisherman, in order to navigate the murky waters safely. Link must continueously return to the lab as there is not enough Empty Bottles available to capture all seven Zora eggs. Once Link finds all the eggs, the Proffesor tells link that they are due to hatch within one to three days. After hatching, the baby Zoras form to make a series of musical notes. Link pulls out his Ocarina and leans the New Wave Bossa Nova, which allows Link to proceed in his quest.
Heart Piece #33
Within the confinements of the lab, next to the door, there is an aquarium which contian two orange fish. Link can stand on top of it and drop Fish in. One of the fish inside eats the smaller fish and thus increase in size. Eventually the fish eats the other orange fish within the tank and spits out a Piece of Heart for Link to grab, specifically Heart Piece #33.
