Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Learning the "Serenade of Water"

On his quest to awaken the Sage of Water, Link returns to Zora's Domain only to find that it has frozen over. He makes his way to Zora's Fountain and enters the Ice Cavern found nearby. Inside the cavern, Link encounters a White Wolfos. After its defeat, a Treasure Chest containing the Iron Boots appears. After Link takes the boots, Sheik appears, and tells him that the Zora have been frozen beneath the ice due to a curse placed on the Water Temple, a place of Zora worship. To guide him to the Water Temple, Sheik teaches Link the "Serenade of Water" and promptly disappears.
