Zora

Driven into hiding by the wrath of the king of New Hyrule, Zoras are a rarely seen race nowadays. It is possible that some still live in the expansive Lake Hylia, but none have been seen in many years.

Evolution
Zoras evolved over the years, expanding all over the world and adapting to different climates, giving them a range of sizes, shapes, colours, and temperaments. They tend to avoid the humans and the conflicts that take place between humans and nonhumans, but small groups of them try to solve things. Some Zoras are quite diplomatic and noble about it, some are a little less so.

Freshwater Zoras

Freshwater Zoras are less conspicuous than their cousins, with muddy colours schemes to blend in with their environment. The Zoras of this variety who reside in rivers are referred to as an entirely different race by the humans, and are demonized as a result of their territorial behaviour.

Saltwater Zoras

Saltwater Zoras are more elaborate in colour scheme and body type, with decorative fins and bright hues. Typically these Zora are found near tropical islands, often mistaken for mermaids swimming beneath the waves or lounging in coves.

Deep-sea Zoras

Deep-sea Zoras have developed bioluminescence to accommodate to dark underwater habitats. Rarely seen, these Zoras utilize huge teeth to capture and eat other fish living at this level. These Zoras are the least influenced by human behaviour, and some of them have only heard of humans through stories.

Hylian Zoras

Residing predominantly in the floating towns on the Hylian Sea, the Hylian Zoras stem from when Zoras and stranded Hylians first allied themselves following the great flood. They bear characters of both their Hylian and their Zoran ancestry, and are amphibians capable of living both on land and in water.
