Makes swimming in the Zora Armor play similarly to the Zora swim in Majora's Mask. Most features can be tuned or turned off in the mod settings.
Put these new abilities to the test with my upgraded Dark Morpheel fight!
Features
Swimming
- Faster. The fast swim starts at 150% of the base game's speed and builds to 200%. Surface swimming is also boosted to 125%.
- Toggle fast swim. Option to tap A to start and stop swimming instead of holding A.
- Reworked turning control. Glide through the water like a fish. If you’ve played MM, you know what I mean.
Dolphin jumps
- Swim fast up to the surface to do a dolphin jump.
- A jump to land ends in a roll.
Combat and items
- Swimming spin attack on B. Link draws his sword and spins along his swim line, and the blade hits like a normal sword strike.
- Water bombs. Throw them or place them behind Link while swimming.
- L-targeting. I spent some time tuning the targeting experience while at speed. Points Link toward the target, but still allows free directional swimming.
- Clawshot while L-targeting. While swimming with a target locked on, the clawshot fires without stopping.
Alternate Iza River Ride
- Talk to Iza on Zora's River wearing the Zora Armor and she'll send you down the river swimming!
- While swimming during the Rapid Ride, the jars are repositioned under the water. Blow them up by throwing water bombs while swimming. The points and prizes are the same.
This mod's code was made with the help of AI.
Note from the developer
I’ve yet to find swimming controls in any game better than Majora’s Mask. And it’s a crime that no other Zelda game since has implemented it. This was a joy to work on and I hope you have as much fun swimming around as I have!

Swim Iza's river rides
- Talk to Iza on Zora's River wearing the Zora Armor and she'll send you down the river swimming!
- While swimming during the Rapid Ride, the jars are repositioned under the water. Blow them up by throwing water bombs while swimming. The points and prizes are the same.
- Fix for turning while swimming up or down. Link will now level out instead of twisting in place. This greatly helps with swim controllability.
- Fix for bombs thrown during a dolphin jump not carrying enough of the momentum of the jump
- Camera adjustments
- Slowed down the normal swim speed slightly to 125%.
For those who have requested a slower swim speed, I encourage you to try it again with these changes! I hope the improved control gives you a better experience. That said, the max swim speed can be adjusted in the settings. Thanks again for your interest in my mod!
