Its enigmatic structure consists of various floors (four in total, one of them is a basement) and requires the use of playing Zelda's Lullaby at each of the special markings on the walls that manipulate the level of water, which give Link access to various parts of the temple from the hub room. Various parts of the temple require Link to go underwater for substantial amounts of time, thus necessitating the Zora Tunic (though the Water Temple can be beaten without it by an experienced and resourceful player).
The Water Temple contains the source of the curse that has frozen Zora's Domain. Aided with the boots and the Hookshot, Link can access its entrance by shooting the target above the gate. The Water Temple is accessible after the young hero finds the Iron Boots in Ice Cavern. Guarded by the Zoras, it is considered a sacred temple that is used to worship the water spirits. The ancient temple lies deep under the vast Lake Hylia. Overview Ocarina of Time Entrance to the Temple
