After defeating the running man, link goes to Zora's Domain and can use the Fire Medallion to thaw the water, and reach the never before accessed unicorn fountain.


This is a clip from my playthrough of the leaked patch of Triforce Percent shown at SDGQ. It's pretty buggy, since it was never intended to be played by the public, but it's fun to see a lot of childhood myths come true.

    And then 7 years of glaciers are instantly melted and flood hyrule.

    Even if this fountain doesnt exist in the official game, should have give us the option to unfreeze Zora’s Domain AFTER defeating the boss. As its known the ice cannot be unfrozen as long as the boss lives, and since its dead should have allowed us to unfreeze Zora’s Domain.

    The fact the unicorn fountain has the horns pointing in three different directions; high, low and level with the player, makes me think this was originally meant to be part of the water temple and was used to change the height of the water instead of the 3 triforce symbols and Zelda's lullaby.

    0:36 That’s how Zoras Domain should have looked like after finishing the Water Temple.

    So this is what closure feels like…

    Looking back at early OOT theories around the unicorn fountain and whatnot, I find it really interesting that even before the internet/youtube existed, I tried to access this place. as a kid I thought there must be an extra swimming scale upgrade or something that I dont know about lol. Good times when everything was still shrouded in mystery 😂

    How many years we have all waited to witness the thawing of zoras domain haha. I remember trying very hard with my sister as a kid to unfreeze it. Thanks for the video.

    Wow, this is... As someone who spent a lot of time in the 2000s reading about OoT's unused content and urban legends, I don't know how I feel. Vindicated? Surprised? In shock? It is something great and special, that's for sure.

    Ahh yes, you too play the ocarina tunes at warp speed due to extreme impatience ;)
  • @Max11551
    Woke up stressed. Watching this on a loop helps.
  • @WinVisten
    They should make a full, non-buggy hack out of this.
  • Man i would lose hours trying to find a way to unfreeze this place when i was kid , so satisfying seeing it .
  • overture of sages. damn this bring back so many memories of that screenshot with k.g. teaching it to us on a wooden fence. with link model sword being wrong side and such

    And then all the cryogenically frozen zora's died, the end.

    It may seem... odd, to be talking to a rigid figure, but I like to think about it like Wind Waker's fairy queen, her true form is inscrutable, so in order to speak to mortals such as the choosen hero, she uses this doll so Link doesn't feel he's speaking to a disembodied voice.
  • @KlaviceGavin
    Aww.... I wanted the Song of Hooters to be "canon" and the Mido fight where he does the hokey pokey. (Yes that WAS a real rumour.)
  • @darkmask5933
    Of course the devs knew how much fans hated not being able to unfreeze the Zora's Domain, which is why they finally let us do it in Twilight Princess. Still no Unicorn Fountain though...

    The Great Fairy laugh does not fit the design of this particular Great Fairy.
  • @SonicJrandSarah
    I have to say, this is one thing that would have made the game epic.
