'''Zora's Domain''' is a recurring location in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It is the home of the [[Zora]], an aquatic race that controls the water flow into [[Lake Hylia]].

===Ocarina of Time===
In ''Ocarina of Time'', Zora's Domain is the home to all the Zoras. When [[Link]] goes there as a child, he can get the [[Silver Scale]] by playing the [[Diving Game]] for 20 [[Rupee]]s, where he can attempt to dive to the bottom of the waterfall and retrieve the five Blue Rupees the owner threw. If Link is successful, the Silver Scale will be his prize. Also, there is a torch puzzle that Link can attempt in order to get a [[Piece of Heart]].
 
When Link goes there as an adult, he finds Zora's Domain completely frozen over. From here, Link must travel to the [[Ice Cavern (Ocarina of Time)|Ice Cavern]] to retrieve the [[Iron Boots]] and a [[bottle]] of [[Blue Fire]] to unfreeze the [[King Zora De Bon XVI|King Zora]]. Expressing his gratitude for Link saving his life, King Zora gives him the [[Zora Tunic]].

=== ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' ===
Located at [[Lanayru Province]], this version of the domain is very similar to ''Ocarina of Time'''s. It is the source of all of [[Hyrule]]'s water, but it is initially frozen over. Link needs to [[warp]] a Molten Shard from [[Death Mountain]] and drop it inside the throne room. This shatters the ice and the water begins to flow. Unfortunately, almost immediately after this, the ghost of [[Queen Rutela]] informs Link and [[Midna]] that her son, [[Prince Ralis]], has been found unconscious, and that they need to explore the [[Lakebed Temple]]. Like ''Ocarina of Time'', this is how Link obtains a Zora item, in this case the [[Zora Armor]], which is necessary to enter the Lakebed Temple. Later in the game, Link needs to return to Zora's Domain in order to access the [[Snowpeak Ruins]].
Zora's Domain is located in eastern Hyrule, behind the [[Sleepless Waterfall]], the source of [[Zora's River]]. The Zora who dwell here are a secluded race, only allowing those who know "[[Zelda's Lullaby]]" &mdash; generally only taught to members of the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] &mdash; to pass through the waterfall and into their Domain. However, Zora's Domain can also be entered through an underwater tunnel in [[Lake Hylia]].


Zora's Domain is ruled by [[King Zora XVI]], and contains little besides [[King Zora's Chamber]], the [[High Dive Practice Spot]], and a [[Zora Shop#The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|small shop]]. From Zora's Domain, [[Link]] can enter [[Zora's Fountain]]; here, [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]], the Zora's patron [[deity]], resides at his [[Altar of Lord Jabu-Jabu|altar]].

When Link returns to Zora's Domain after his seven-year slumber in the [[Sacred Realm]], he finds the entire Domain encased in ice. He makes his way to the frozen Zora's Fountain, enters the [[Ice Cavern]] by traversing the floating ice blocks, and obtains the [[Iron Boots]] hidden there. However, even after Link successfully navigates the [[Water Temple]] and defeats [[Morpha]], Zora's Domain remains frozen &mdash; although according to [[Princess Ruto]], the Domain will return to its original state in time. This is evidenced during the game's end credits, in which Zora's Domain is fully thawed and its Zora residents are seen celebrating at [[Lon Lon Ranch]] with the rest of Hyrule.

{{Main|Zora's Domain (Breath of the Wild)}}
Zora's Domain is situated in the [[Lanayru (Breath of the Wild)|Lanayru]] province once more, but is much more regal in design than in previous renditions. It is surrounded by mountains and is risen above a large lake. The area is troubled by [[Divine Beast Vah Ruta]], as it is causing mass flooding of the [[East Reservoir Lake]], which threatens to burst and drown the domain.


A square hole can be seen in the bedrock underneath the water in Zora's Domain, near the entrance. Many players assume that this hole is an unremoved beta element that would have been the entrance to another dungeon, often speculated to be the [[Unicorn Fountain]]. It is possible to get underneath the ice of Zora's Domain as an adult using a [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Glitches#Get beneath the ice in Zora's Domain as an adult|glitch]]. Upon reaching the square hole using the Iron Boots, however, it is revealed to be completely blocked off.

Although never visited in-game, the [[Nintendo Gallery]] confirms the fact that [[Laruto]], the former [[Sages of the Master Sword|Sage of Earth]], was born in Zora's Domain prior to the [[Great Flood]].

{{Listbox|Ocarina of Time Locations}}
Zora's Domain is located north of [[Hyrule Castle Town]] and Lake Hylia, in the [[Lanayru Province]]. Again, it is the home of the Zora race. It is the only location where the sacred [[Reekfish]] can be caught. Many Zoras reside here, including [[Prince Ralis]] once he returns from [[Kakariko Village]], who seats himself on his [[Queen Rutela|mother]]'s throne.
{{Listbox|Twilight Princess Locations}}


Zora's Domain consists of a throne room atop a large waterfall and pool. Initially frozen by Zant, it is thawed when Link and [[Midna]] warp a burning-hot [[lava]] rock from [[Death Mountain]] into the throne room. [[Zora's River]] is located to the south, and the westward entrance to [[Snowpeak Ruins]] becomes accessible once the Domain is unfrozen. The throne room can be reached by asking a Zora at the base of the waterfall to swim Link up. Also, in [[Wolf Link|wolf form]], Link can jump up using Midna's multiple-jump technique on the nearby ledges and rocks. Finally, Link can climb the rocks beside the waterfall with his [[Clawshot]]. At the bottom of the the pool within the throne room is a [[Underwater Goron|Goron]] trapped inside the volcanic rock Midna warped there. He gives Link a [[Bomb Bag]] if he frees the Goron using [[Water Bomb]]s.

In Ocarina of Time, Zora's Domain is the home to all the Zoras. When Link goes there as a child, he can get the Silver Scale by playing the Diving Game for 20 Rupees, where he can attempt to dive to the bottom of the waterfall and retrieve the five Blue Rupees the owner threw. If Link is successful, the Silver Scale will be his prize. Also, there is a torch puzzle that Link can attempt in order to get a Piece of Heart.

When Link goes there as an adult, he finds Zora's Domain completely frozen over. From here, Link must travel to the Ice Cavern to retrieve the Iron Boots and a bottle of Blue Fire to unfreeze the King Zora. Expressing his gratitude for Link saving his life, King Zora gives him the Zora Tunic.

Twilight Princess

Located at Lanayru Province, this version of the domain is very similar to Ocarina of Time's. It is the source of all of Hyrule's water, but it is initially frozen over. Link needs to warp a Molten Shard from Death Mountain and drop it inside the throne room. This shatters the ice and the water begins to flow. Unfortunately, almost immediately after this, the ghost of Queen Rutela informs Link and Midna that her son, Prince Ralis, has been found unconscious, and that they need to explore the Lakebed Temple.

Main article: Zora's Domain (Breath of the Wild)

Zora's Domain is situated in the Lanayru province once more, but is much more regal in design than in previous renditions. It is surrounded by mountains and is risen above a large lake. The area is troubled by Divine Beast Vah Ruta, as it is causing mass flooding of the East Reservoir Lake, which threatens to burst and drown the domain.
