Item(s)	Zora's Flippers Cheval Rope
Related place(s)	Yoll Graveyard

Cheval's Tomb is the final resting place of the famed inventor Cheval, who is responsible for the creation of Cheval Rope (a special rope that would not dissolve in water)^[1] as well as the Zora's Flippers (a special tool that can enable a person to swim),^[2] in Oracle of Ages. Fittingly, Cheval's Tomb is located in present Labrynna's Yoll Graveyard. Cheval, who wanted to leave his mark on society and create things that would continue to help people long after his death,^[3] was buried with his inventions,^[4] and before he died, he transformed his watery tomb into a sort of test course meant to only yield access to his inventions to one worthy to wield them.^[5] His tomb is discovered by Link, who comes in search of both inventions in order to reach and navigate the regions around Crescent Island while on his quest to find the eight Essences of Time.

The area surrounding Cheval's tomb is littered with pitfalls, which Link can only traverse with the help of Moosh. As such, it is impossible for Link to return to the grave unless he obtains Moosh's Flute.
