The frog cannot survive long outside its natural habitat and will die if Link does not make it to Lake Hylia in time. It cannot be taken into Death Mountain Crater as a shortcut due to the frog's intolerance to the intense heat, nor can any warp songs be used to make the task go faster (as with all timed tasks of the quest), as both attempts will cause the frog to die immediately. Upon giving the Eyeball Frog to the Lake Scientist, Link will receive the World's Finest Eye Drops. Humorously, the Lake Scientist at first mistakes the Eyeball Frog as a present, as it is considered a delicacy.
