Zora's River

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time guide · Traveling to Zora's Domain

Zora's River is a winding canyon waterway that connects Hyrule Field to Zora's Domain. As child Link, you must navigate high ledges, waterfalls, and river currents to reach the domain entrance behind a waterfall. You can also pick up cuccos near the entrance to reach elevated platforms or grab a magic bean to access high places later.
