Lakebed Temple

The , also known as the Zora Temple, is the third dungeon in .
==Entrance to the Temple==
The Lakebed Temple is located at the lowest point of Lake Hylia, the Lake Bed. Link can only gain access to it after both acquiring the Zora Armor in the Kakariko Village Graveyard and purchasing Water Bombs, since the entrance is blocked by a boulder.
==Themes and Navigation==
The Lakebed Temple is mostly centered around the transport of water from its sources to dried rooms. Several rooms contain large gears and waterwheels, which can be powered or moved by transporting water to certain rooms. Throughout the dungeon, many large Stalactites hang down from the ceiling. During his exploration, Link must frequently shoot Bomb Arrows in order to bring down the Stalactite so he can then use them to reach higher areas. The Lakebed Temple's most distinct feature is its rotating central staircase, which must be rotated in order to move streams of water from one side of the dungeon to the other. Using different handles and mechanisms, Link must make use of the flow of water to move waterwheels and platforms and advance further.
Link receives the Clawshot after defeating the Sub-Boss, Deku Toad. The Clawshot can help Link by allowing him to turn the main staircase in more directions as well as making him capable of reaching areas that are otherwise inaccessible. There are two Pieces of Heart that Link can obtain in the dungeon.
The boss of the Lakebed Temple is Morpheel, which can only be reached by fully raising the water level in the central room of the dungeon. The boss is found in a massive, underwater chamber that Link can access by dropping into a hole after using the Big Key. Upon defeating Morpheel, Link receives the third and final Fused Shadow and another Heart Container.

==Trivia==
*When Link speaks to Midna, she initially admires the beauty of the Lakebed Temple and considers the place to be better than the Goron Mines; however, after some time, she changes her mind and complains about the complexity of the Lakebed Temple. This may be a reference to how previous water-themed dungeons in the series were similarly complex in structure or in the need of manipulating water, as well as directly referencing the number of Small Keys needed in 's Water Temple. Despite her complaints, there are no grand searches for Small Keys beyond the first.
