On the way to Zora's Domain three big rocks block the path; Link blows them up with bombs.

wird Link von drei großen Felsen der Weg versperrt. Kein Problem, denkt er sich und legt eine Bombe.

The river is too wide to jump, so Link grabs a cucco and glides across; the cucco also helps him reach two heart pieces.

Her mit dem lustigen Federvieh!

At the platform before the waterfall a hint says the water rests when the king sleeps; playing Zelda's Lullaby parts the waterfall and opens Zora's Domain.

Ein Sprung, und schon befindet sich Link im Reich der Zoras!

The river map marks the Magic Bean seller, the ways to the Lost Woods and Hyrule Field, four heart pieces and several Gold Skulltulas.

The singing frogs give a Piece of Heart for the Song of Storms and another for their melody game.

Er flötet die Hymne des Sturms und wird belohnt!

Link can glide to two ledges on the river with a Cucco.

Mit dessen flatternder Unterstützung erreicht er einen Felsvorsprung, von dem aus noch ein gezielter Hüpfer ihn vom Herzteil trennt.
