An
aquatic race from the
Zelda series. They were most
significant in
Zelda 64. In that game, they were basically
humanoid with some
fins (including a
dolphin tail on their heads). The
king is an exception to this, as
he looked more like a
very fat frog. They worship
Lord Jabu Jabu, who is essentially a big
fish with maze-like
innards. The evil
Ganon later froze the whole area over, a curse
Link had to
undo.
Like all of the
girls in the
game, the Zora
princess has a
crush on Link. Link appears
less than thrilled about this.
Zora have the distinction of being
cursed by a being who lives in the most annoying
temple in the game. items found in their domain include
blue fire,
Zora tunic (which allows one to breathe underwater),
iron boots, and
eyeball frogs.
They are also the
guardians of
Hyrule's
water, and will only allow you in if you play a specific song. As you can see, their
security is rather
lacking.
