[edit] Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
[edit] Getting to the Great Bay
In order to enter this region, Link must jump over a fence blocking his path with the help of his horse, Epona. The Great Bay region is a tropical region, filled with palm trees, sand, and many marine creatures. When Link arrives, however, the Skull Kid has tampered with the fragile balance of the Great Bay Temple, and consequently, has raised the temperature of the water, slowly killing all fish and other sea-dwelling creatures. Travel in the ocean is limited due to the murky water.
[edit] The Seven Eggs
Link finds a dying Zora named Mikau just out on the sea and he helps push him back to shore where he learns about Lulu and The Indigo-Gos. Mikau dies after Link plays the Song of Healing. His spirit is then transformed into the Zora Mask, allowing Link to transform into a Zora. Using it, Link finds out that the seven Zora Eggs were stolen from Lulu. Link then ventures out to find them. He ends up in the Pirates' Fortress where he sneaks around and finds three Zora eggs and the Hookshot. After placing them in a tank in the Marine Research Laboratory, Link searches for the remaining four. After meeting a fishermen who exchanges a Seahorse for a picture of a Gerudo, Link travels to Pinnacle Rock, where the seahorse guides him through the water. After killing the Deep Pythons to obtain the remaining four eggs and save seahorse's brother, Link can return to the Marine Research Laboratory. Here, the seven Zora Eggs hatch and form the notes to the New Wave Bossa Nova.
[edit] The Great Bay Temple
Link plays his new song for Lulu while wearing the Zora Mask, and the Giant Turtle appears and offers to take him to the Great Bay Temple. Once Link has defeated Gyorg, the masked boss of the Great Bay Temple, the water temperature is restored to normal.

[edit] Super Smash Bros. Melee
Elements of the Great Bay region appear as one of the stages. Tingle, the Marine Research Laboratory, and the Giant Turtle appear as platforms. Periodically, the giant turtle will disappear underwater, and it is possible to pop Tingle's balloon as well. It is also noteworthy that the Moon will drift closer to the stage the longer the melee lasts. When it is close enough to touch down as it does in the game, the Four Giants will push it back.
