How to explore the Sea of Storms in the Present Age?

Is there any way to explore the Sea of Storms in the Present Age?
There are two overworld maps in Oracle of Ages: Past and Present. I have finished all the dungeons, and have all the items and upgrades. I have explored the entire overworld in the past, and every square of the overworld in the present - except for ONE square, inside the Sea of Storms. There does not appear to be any way in, since the Zoro who guards the entrance only appears in the past. There are no available warp points in this area because nearly everything is in deep water.
It feels as if there was an unusual amount of grinding in this game. There is little satisfaction in only getting very close to completion, if you are unable to achieve the full 100%. Several important items (such as two pieces of heart) are not awarded consistently, even after much careful work. Previous games, such as Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, and Ocarina of Time did not do this.
Having an incomplete overworld map is a huge turn-off at the end of an otherwise fun game.
Is there no resolution on the first play-through?

How do I get to Sea of Storms now?
There is no entrance to the interior of the Sea of Storms from the Present. After Link completes the seventh dungeon, Jabu-Jabu's Belly, Link is given the Zora Scale. Using this scale, Link can speak to the Zora underneath the water and he'll let Link pass.Where is the Sea of Storms?
