'''Great Bay''' ({{ja|グレートベイ|Gurēto Bei}}, ''Great Bay'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is based on the eponymous location in ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''.  
'''Great Bay''' ({{ja|グレートベイ|Gurēto Bei}}, ''Great Bay'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It could be considered [[Young Link]]'s [[home stage]], as he is the main character in ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'', from which this stage originates.
It is considered [[Young Link]]'s home stage, as he is the protagonist of that game.
 
[[Young Link]] is fought here when being unlocked in both games he appears in.
In ''Melee'' and ''Ultimate'', Young Link is fought here when being unlocked.


In [[All-Star]] mode, this stage is where {{SSBM|Link}} and any of his teammates are faced.

[[File:Great Bay Ingame Melee.png|thumb|left|An in-game battle from ''Melee''.]]
The fighters battle on a pier housing the {{s|zeldawiki|Marine Research Laboratory}} in the {{s|zeldawiki| Great Bay Coast}} from ''{{s|zeldawiki| The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}''.
The left side of the stage consists of three platforms. The bottom ones have enough space for two fighters, and the left one floats and reacts to the fighters' weights by rocking. The raised platform, which has barely enough space for four characters, is solid: this can be exploited by [[throw]]ing opponents against its bottom to cause a [[stage spike]] and possibly an early [[KO]]. However, in ''Ultimate'', players [[swim]] on the water's surface, so it's more difficult to KO with a stage spike than in ''Melee''.

The right side is occupied by a large turtle which acts as a platform. When the battle starts, the turtle is present and looks to the left: after about 30 seconds it sinks, carrying away any fighters still on it. It periodically emerges and sinks again, and can either look left or towards the screen. The trees on its back act as further platforms. The parts not covered by grass have lower [[traction]], like ice and oil. Notably, when the turtle is absent the right [[blast line]] is very far from the stage: therefore, staying on the right is in this situation very advantageous. In ''Ultimate'', however, the right blast line moves closer to the stage when the turtle sinks, reducing this effect somewhat.

[[Tingle]] floats around on a red balloon over the bottom right platform. His balloon acts as a platform: standing on it for enough time or attacking it makes it pop, causing Tingle to fall down on the ground or in the water while flailing his limbs. Contact with him in this state causes 1-2% [[damage]] and negligible [[knockback]]. After a while, he reinflates his balloon and floats back up: if Tingle falls on the lower left platform, when he reinflates his balloon he is trapped under the main platform and his balloon automatically pops.

===Ω form and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are set far above the water with the coast seen in the background. Tingle does not appear. The main platform is the same structure that the Marine Research Laboratory is on, but resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form are metallic and are unique to this form.

This stage is based on the {{iw|zeldawiki|Great Bay Coast}} of the {{iw|zeldawiki|Great Bay}} region from ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}'', and takes place on the platforms that house the {{iw|zeldawiki|Marine Research Laboratory}}; however, its structure and orientation are slightly different in this stage. In ''Ultimate'', the design of the Marine Research Laboratory and the buildings in the background have been changed to reflect their appearance in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D}}''. ''Ultimate'' also includes small additional details, such as a {{iw|zeldawiki|Heart Piece}} to the left in the background, in the same location as ''Majora's Mask''. The bay itself, contrary to how it looked in ''Majora's Mask'', is a much brighter and cleaner color in ''Melee''.

In ''Majora's Mask'', [[zeldawiki:Owl Statue#Majora's Mask|Owl Statues]] act as warp points when using the {{iw|zeldawiki|Song of Soaring}} and, in non-Japanese versions of the game, as quicksave points. One of such statues is outside the laboratory in Great Bay.

The {{iw|zeldawiki|Turtle}} in ''Majora's Mask'' allows [[Young Link|Link]] to reach the {{iw|zeldawiki|Great Bay Temple}} after it is awoken; however, it is found in a different location of Great Bay, nowhere near the laboratory.

[[Tingle]]'s design and behavior is also taken from ''Majora's Mask'', which is also his debut game. He appears in several locations floating from his balloon, including the Marine Research Laboratory. Link can pop his balloon to make him fall to the ground and purchase maps from him.

In ''Majora's Mask'', a [[Skull Kid]], under possession by the evil {{iw|zeldawiki|Majora's Mask|Item}}, sends the [[Moon]] on a collision course with {{iw|zeldawiki|Termina}}. Link has three in-game days to stop it, which is accomplished by freeing the {{iw|zeldawiki|Four Giants}}, who are able to catch the moon before it hits {{iw|zeldawiki|Clock Town}}. The time limit can be extended by traveling back in time to the beginning of the first day. The 3-minute cycle in this stage is a likely reference to the original 3-day cycle.
