Seahorses,[1] also known as Gold-Colored Fish,[2][note 1] are an animal species and a pair of characters in Majora's Mask.
Biography[]
Two Seahorses live in Pinnacle Rock in the Great Bay region of Termina. One of the Seahorses was captured by the Fisherman living at the coast.[4] The Fisherman will give Link the Seahorse in exchange for a good picture of one of the Gerudo Pirates.[5]
After Link gives the photo to the Fisherman, he will receive the Seahorse in exchange, who wishes to be taken to the waters near Pinnacle Rock.[6] Link carries it inside of a Bottle. Once in the waters of Pinnacle Rock, the Seahorse guides Link through the misty waters to the inner part of the area.[7] Here, the Seahorse explains to Link that his friend is trapped among the Deep Pythons, and asks for the young hero's help.[8] Once Link has killed each and every one of the sea serpents, the other Seahorse will be released. Both will thank Link for his help, and will reward him with a Piece of Heart.
The Seahorse is described by the Fisherman as a rare specimen.[9] Seahorses, referred to as gold-colored fish, are known among the Zora for their familiarity with the waters around Pinnacle Rock, and are used as guides when water conditions are bad.[10]
