Zora's Domain

To outsiders, Zora’s Domain does not appear to be much. Located in Lanayru in a hollow of a mountain, the entrance appears to be a great waterfall falling from the top of a mountain and is guarded by Zora guards. When the veil is lifted, a cave is revealed that leads to a secluded opening that goes over a massive spring of water. The water goes up the mountain to the top ridges providing the water fall via advanced engineering by damming the water flows and rerouting it. Upon leaving the tunnel, visitors will find a great blue bridge over the water that leads to a circular platform where the local Inn/Tourist Shop is found as a giant spire. To the left and right the bridge branches to two shops one of which is Weapons and Armor and the other is Magic and Ingredients. On the far side, the bridge leads to the Palace Entrance where ambassadors to the Zora Royal Family live as well as numerous guards. Various guard stations stick out of the water around the platform as well. All of this, however, is a front for tourists and visitors. The true Zora’s Domain lies under these platforms in the water itself where the Zora live peacefully and secluded from the rest of Hyrule. The Zora live in caves and other structures built under the water, such as the Underwater Palace that their king and queen live in. Only the Zora know what else is down there although it is hinted that access to the shrine of their living god, Ja’Abu, is in Zora’s Domain.
