Zora River is an area in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake that is accessed by following the path on the east side of Hyrule Field. This area is home to four Gold Skulltulas, four Heart Pieces, and a vendor who sells Magic Beans. Players who are going for 100% completion can learn more about the Zora River collectibles in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake in this guide.
You can’t get everything in Zora River during your first visit, and you will need to come to the area at least twice as a child and once as an adult.
Zora River Items
Magic Beans
You’ll find the Bean Seller near the beginning of the Zora River path. Ultimately, you’ll want to buy all 10 of his Magic Beans, which cost 550 Rupees total. These beans are planted in soil mounds as Child Link, and they become plants that can be ridden to various collectibles as Adult Link.
Zora River Gold Skulltulas
Gold Skulltula #1 (Child)
Release a bug from a bottle into the soil mound near the Bean Seller to make a Gold Skulltula appear. You should also plant a Magic Bean in that mound, as you’ll use the plant that grows to reach another Gold Skulltula as Adult Link.
Gold Skulltula #2 (Child)
There is a rock covered with climbable vines at the bottom of the area near the waterfall. At night, a Gold Skulltula appears on the backside of that rock.
Gold Skulltula #3 (Adult)
At night, ride the plant that has grown from the Magic Bean near the beginning of Zora River. Jump off onto the elevated landmass along the south side of the map. Go to the south edge of the landmass to find a Gold Skulltula on the wall, just west of a hole in the ground.
Gold Skulltula #4 (Adult)
Continue to follow the path up Zora River. Keep your eye on the left wall to find a Gold Skulltula, approximately three-quarters of the way to the end. Stand on the barrier if you are having trouble hitting it with the Hookshot.
Zora River Heart Pieces
Heart Piece #1 (Child)
Grab the cucco that is on the backside of the fence by the Bean Seller. Take it up the river, past the frogs, and throw it across the gap when you are forced to cross the shallow water. Head to the other side, grab the cucco, and use it to glide to climbable vines at the south edge of the map.
Climb the vines and go to the south edge of the landmass to find a hole. Enter the hole, grab a second cucco, and exit the hole. Use your new cucco to glide to the Heart Piece on the tall platform in the middle of the river.
Heart Piece #2 (Child)
Take a cucco to the waterfall at the east end of the river. Turn around and look down and to your right to find the Heart Piece on a ledge. Glide to it.
Heart Piece #3 (Child)
Play the Song of Storms for the frogs near the middle of the river to get a Heart Piece. You learn the Song of Storms from the Music Man in the Kakariko Village windmill as Adult Link.
Heart Piece #4 (Child)
Complete the frogs’ minigame to get a Heart Piece. Check our Zora River Singing Frogs Guide if you need help.
