Room 70: Waterfall Cave

This is the scenic area behind the waterfall, accessible by walking through the falls. The room features a dramatic waterfall, cave entrance, steep cliff, and a pool of water. Players can swim in the pool, drink from the water, collect a board, and be swept out by strong currents in specific areas. The room supports both land and swimming forms.
