In Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, while Zora do not appear in-person, there is a reference to their existence. The landmarks Fish Head (Cape Treasure) and Muddy Fish Head (Gooey Swamp) are statues resembling a Zora's head. A Zora is also depicted on Madame Scratchcard's scratchcards.

This article refers to the friendly Zora race. For the enemy variety, see Zora.
The Zora,[2][3][4][5][6][7] also known as the Zora Tribe,[8] are a race in The Legend of Zelda series. The Zora are an aquatic folk who possess fish and amphibian like traits, including fins, webbed feet and gills, which allow them to swim and thrive underwater. Zora can come in many shapes and sizes, but are most commonly depicted as humanoids with long tail fins on their heads and finned appendages on their arms and legs. They are protectors of water.[2]
Prior to their debut as a race in Ocarina of Time, Zoras were present in older titles as a hostile enemy. These Zora appear radically different, appearing more reptilian and more fish-like than human. Both kinds of Zora have appeared throughout The Legend of Zelda series following their debuts, with the Zora race appearing almost exclusively in the 3D console games.
In Oracle of Ages, the enemy Zora are referred to as River Zora to distinguish them from the peaceful race. The friendly Zora are in turn called Sea Zora.[9] In Echoes of Wisdom, both races are peaceful, with the River Zora still appearing more fishlike than the Sea Zora.
Characteristics
Zora are normally found in or near large bodies of water, but very rarely stray far away from them. In Hyrule, Zora live in the Zora's Domain, a large cavernous fountain that is connected to the Zora River, which flows directly to Lake Hylia; it is common to see Zora within these areas as well. Zora, however, do not solely live in fresh water, but can also thrive in salt water, such as the Great Bay Zora of Majora's Mask and the sea Zora of Oracle of Ages. In contrast to the enemy Zora of earlier titles, the peaceful Zora appear more distinctively humanoid than monstrous. Most individuals (but not all) have fins attached to their limbs and a tail at the back of their head, making their head alone resemble a fish. However, Zora also come in various shapes and sizes, with some lacking the head fin and others, like King Zora, having a rotund appearance. Some Zora possess fins that greatly resemble the folds of clothing, such as the case with Rutela. Their skin color ranges between white, blue and gray, but few have also appeared bright red or brown as a seemingly rarer variant.
Zora lay Eggs[10] which hatch into tadpole-like young[citation needed]. Their Eggs hatch one to three days after they are laid,[11] provided that the water they lie in is of a proper temperature,[12] and that the Eggs that were laid at the same time are together.[13] While they resemble tadpoles when they first hatch[citation needed], they become humanoid even before reaching adulthood as seen with both Ruto in Ocarina of Time and multiple Zora children in Breath of the Wild.
Zora are known to have long lifespans, with Sidon being a child 100 years before Breath of the Wild and a young adult in the game's present. The King Zora in Oracle of Ages is the same individual in the game's past and present times, 400 years apart. Zora are still considered young until they reach triple digits.[14] Zora children age in such a way where even as young adults they can still appear to be children before reaching a growth spurt.[15] As Zora age, they hold themselves to higher standards of speaking as a matter of pride.[16]
Zora have a strong sense of duty for history and order. Because they do not travel far from sources of water and are protective of Zora's Domain, they have limited interaction with other races.[17]
Zora primarily subsist on fish and other marine life, and many are skilled fishers.[18] They can swim against the current and even up waterfalls.[19]
The Zora have maintained positive relations with the Hylians since ancient times. However, in the timeline of Hyrule's decline that bond gradually fades.[20]
The Zora, along with Hylians and Gorons, have often be called to watch over Hyrule.[21]
Women of their royal family have been given the crucial role of sages in times of need. In addition, when the sacred realm was sealed, the Zora were entrusted with guarding the Spiritual Stone of Water.[22]
Zora do not have individual homes, instead sleeping in large communal pools within Zora's Domain.[23] This seems to only apply to Hyrule's Zora, as the Zora of Labrynna and Termina do have private dwellings.
The Lanayru Great Spring in the era of Breath of the Wild contains a wealth of ore, and so the Zora have become crafters of beautiful stone buildings and metal jewelry and equipment.[23]
All Zora possess the ability to manipulate water, with how strong their power is varying depending on the individual.[24]
After the Imprisoning War prior to A Link to the Past, Hyrule fell into decline. By the era of A Link to the Past the Zora's once close relationship with the Hylians had soured. They grew hostile to outsiders, and their physical appearance changed to reflect this, turning them into enemy Zora.[25] In this same era, friendly blue Zora still exist beyond Hyrule in the neighboring kingdom of Labrynna. Several generations later in the time of A Link Between Worlds, the Queen of the Zoras, Oren, attempted to bring establish her rule over her subjects, though half of them rebelled against her.[26] Hostile Zora grew in power over time, and they eventually turned into Monsters by the tine of The Adventure of Link.[27]

Zora People
The people of Zora's Domain are like evolved fish. They live underwater but can venture out for short periods of time.
In Ocarina of Time, the Zora all live in the Zora's Domain, located in northeastern Hyrule at the end of Zora's River, where their domain is guarded by the impassable Sleepless Waterfall.[28] The Zora folk are responsible for guarding the Water Temple in Lake Hylia, which the Zora River flows into, as well as the Zora's Fountain, the source of the River's water, on behalf of the Royal Family of Hyrule.[29][30] Due to their close servitude, the Hyrulean Zora have been allies to the Royal Family for years.[28] Lord Jabu-Jabu, who resides in the Fountain, serves as their patron deity.[31] King Zora leads the Zora as their monarch ruler. The latter has a young daughter, Princess Ruto, who is left in charge of preparing Jabu-Jabu's meals.
As a child, Link visits the Domain in search of the Zora's Sapphire, the Spiritual Stone that was passed down by the Zora.[32] Link saves Princess Ruto from Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly, after she is swallowed by Jabu-Jabu due to being cursed by Ganondorf. As a reward, she entrusts him with the Zora's Sapphire as her engagement to him.[33]
Seven years later, after Ganondorf came into power, Morpha had caused the Zora's Domain and all of its residents to become frozen in ice.[34] Sheik had managed to rescue Princess Ruto,[35] who had then went to the Water Temple to save her people,[36] but it is Link who ultimately destroys the evil inside the Temple and thus saves Zora's Domain. His efforts also awakens Princess Ruto as the Sage of Water. Although Link had defeated Morpha, Zora's Domain never recovers in-game, as Ruto explains it will take time to thaw.[37] Only during the ending are the Zora found to be thawed.

The Zora Tribe
Since this tribe lives in the water, they are particularly sensitive to environmental changes.
The songs of the Zora band, The Indigo-gos, are popular with people of all races.
The songs of the Zora band, The Indigo-gos, are popular with people of all races.
In Majora's Mask, the Zora live in the Great Bay region of Termina, where they congregate in the Zora Hall as their home. The Zora Hall is also the home to The Indigo-Go's, a famous Zora band.[38] The band was planned to play at the Carnival of Time in Clock Town, but suddenly had to cancel when Lulu, the band's lead singer, lost her voice when she laid some Eggs. However, the Eggs were shortly stolen by the Gerudo Pirates. Mikau, the band's guitarist, had tried to recover the Eggs, but was beaten by the Pirates and left gravely injured in the coast. Link eventually finds Mikau and pushes him to shore, but he passes away, and after being healed, his soul is encased into the Zora Mask.
Wearing the Zora Mask allows Link to transform into Zora Link in the resemblance of Mikau.[39] Under the guise of this form, Link retrieves the scattered Zora Eggs, allowing Lulu to recover her voice and to subsequently open the way to the Great Bay Temple.
The Great Bay Temple is implied to be an important location to the Zora folk. It is said that should anything happen to the Temple, a disaster will befall the Bay and the Zora descendant of the Temple's protector.[40] The Zora also have their own writing system.[41]
Oracle of Seasons
Although Zora do not live in Holodrom in Oracle of Seasons, one Zora appears during a Linked Game. The Zora can be found inside the Hero's Cave, searching for a place to build a new Domain under King Zora's orders, but cannot find any place that exceeds Labrynna's seas.[42] They will request that Link reports back to King Zora their findings by telling him a Secret, which will prompt King Zora to upgrade Link's Sword.
Oracle of Ages
Oracle of Ages features both the Zora race and enemy Zora, and distinguishes between the two as sea and river Zora, respectively.[9] The peaceful sea Zora live in a Village in the southern Zora Seas of Labrynna. One sea Zora in the Village refers to the river Zora as "savage and vulgar", making it clear that the two groups have no social connections to each other.[9] As in Ocarina of Time, the sea Zora's guardian is Lord Jabu-Jabu.[43]
In the past, the Zora Seas were polluted due to a curse inflicted by Veran. The pollution had made the Zora population fall ill and disrupted their way of life.[44] The pollution had also made the Zora King fall sick, becoming deceased in the present. His death left the Zora with no ruler ever since.[45] This becomes an issue in Link's quest, as Link cannot enter Lord Jabu-Jabu and find his Essence of Time without the King's consent. Link purifies the ocean in the past by rescuing the Fairy Queen and cures the King's illness with a Magic Potion, allowing the Zora King to become well and survive into the present.
The Wind Waker
Main article: Rito
Because the ethereal waters of the Great Sea could only be inhabited by monsters and Fishmen, the Zora were forced to evolve into the Rito in the events prior to The Wind Waker.[46][47] The only actual Zora who makes an appearance is the spirit of Laruto, the deceased Sage of Earth, whose prayers gave power to the Master Sword to repel evil.[48] Laruto was killed by Ganondorf's minions to dispel the Master Sword's power.[49][50] Link meets her in spirit long after her death in the Earth Temple, who tells him to find her descendant and the next Sage of Earth, Medli.[51]
A stained glass window in Hyrule Castle's basement floor depicts Princess Ruto as the Sage of Water.
The Cafe Bar on Windfall Island sells Zora Coffee for 250 Rupees, according to chalkboards written in Hylian.[52]
Four Swords Adventures
Only one friendly Zora appears in Four Swords Adventures. In a pond north of Kakariko Village, the Hungry Zora offers a Mini-Game to the Links.
Twilight Princess
In Twilight Princess, the Zora live in Zora's Domain, upstream from Lake Hylia. Many can be found down along the Zora River as well as in Lake Hylia proper, caring for and patrolling the Lake.[53][54] These Zora guards wear fish-shaped helmets over their faces and carry halberds with them. The bottom of the Lake is sacred to the Zora folk,[55] where the Lakebed Temple lies at its depths. The Zora serve as the protectors of this Temple.[56]
When Wolf Link arrives to Telma's Bar in Hyrule Castle Town, he finds Ilia with a Zora boy who is facing death. Link travels to Lake Hylia to investigate a possibly related incident,[57] and upon arriving in Zora's Domain, finds that it is frozen with all the Zora encased in ice.[58] Using the Twilight Portal that opened above the Domain, Wolf Link and Midna warp a Molten Shard that fell in Death Mountain into the Domain, destroying the ice and thawing the Zora trapped inside. Shortly afterwards they are approached by the spirit of the Zora Queen, Rutela. She explains that their Domain was raided by Zant's minions and herself executed as an example to her people.[59] The absence of a ruler throws the Zora into chaos.[60] Link is told that if he can help her save her son, Prince Ralis, and bring him back to the Domain, she will aid him in his quest.[61]
After restoring light to the Lanayru Province, Link as a Hylian helps Telma and Ilia take the Zora prince to Kakariko Village, where Renado heals him. After Ralis is saved, Queen Rutela makes a final appearance as she guides Link to her late husband's grave. She commends Link for bringing her son to Kakariko, as the village is sacred to her people and where they are laid to rest.[62] There she bestows him the Zora Armor, allowing him to swim underwater and reach the Lakebed Temple.
After completing the Lakebed Temple, Zora can also be found in Death Mountain's hot springs.
Breath of the Wild
In Breath of the Wild, the Zora live in Zora's Domain, located in the Lanayru region of Hyrule. One hundred years ago, the Zora were spared the damage caused by the Great Calamity.[63] While crossing Inogo Bridge, Link meets Sidon, the prince of the Zora. He claims that they are in need of a Hylian and leads Link to the Domain. Once there, it is revealed that the Divine Beast Vah Ruta is responsible for the heavy rainfall, having been reactivated sometime before Link's arrival.
Interestingly, the Zora seen in Breath of the Wild have a range of physical features, resembling a variety of marine life. Sidon himself resembles a hammerhead shark, and the elderly Muzu resembles a devil ray. And as well, King Dorephan's appearance seems to be based on that of a blue whale. They can also be found in a variety of colors, unlike in previous games. It is unknown if the Rito are descendants of the Zora in this game, as they are in The Wind Waker.
Ten thousand years ago the Zora with help from Hyrule built the Rutala Dam to create the East Reservoir Lake. Thanks to this construction, Hyrule was no longer plagued by devastating floods.[64]
Tears of the Kingdom
Echoes of Wisdom
Both River Zora and Sea Zora appear in Echoes of Wisdom, living in Jabul Waters. The River Zora Village, led by Dradd, is located in Zora River. The Sea Zora Village, led by Kushara, is located in Zora Cove. Both groups worship Lord Jabu-Jabu and congregate at Crossflows Plaza to play music for him in ceremony.

Trivia
- The Zora hatchlings are likely a visual pun on the Japanese word おたまじゃくし (Otamajakushi), which means "tadpole", but can also mean "musical note".
- While Zora do not appear in Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, several Treasures make reference to them, including the Ruto Crown and the Zora Scale, the latter of which only appears in Phantom Hourglass.
- In an interview with Nintendo of Europe, Eiji Aonuma said that he would be a Zora if he could choose to be a Goron, a Deku Scrub, or a Zora.[65]
- According to The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia formerly hosted on Zelda.com, the Zora evolved from fish that swam in Zora's Fountain, which was blessed by the Golden Goddesses during the Creation of the World.[66]
- In the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Zora Trophy states that their other appearance is Twilight Princess.[citation needed] For unknown reasons, it was changed to Majora's Mask in international releases of the game.

Zora take pride in a strong sense of duty and respect for the history, laws, and leadership of their people. They do not often stray far from water, so interaction with other races tends to be limited. This is especially true of Zora's Domain.
