- Not to be confused with Great Zora, the King Zora from A Link to the Past.
Template:Character King Zora is the leader of the Zora race, father of Princess Ruto, Prince Ralis, and husband of Queen Rutela.
Appearances
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, he sits on his throne at the helm of Zora's Domain, guarding passage to the great Lord Jabu-Jabu, the patron deity of the Zoras. Only when Child Link presents him with a letter from his incarcerated daughter, held from within Lord Jabu Jabu, does he grant Link passage to Lord Jabu Jabu's lair.[1] When Adult Link ventures to Zora's Domain, he finds King Zora and the rest of the region frozen solid: a curse placed on the region that stems from Morpha's control of the the Water Temple, the source of their water. Freeing King Zora from the ice after completing the Ice Cavern will grant Link a Zora Tunic as a gift.[2] If Link already has a Zora tunic, he will offer him a kiss.[3]
Incidentally, it appears that, according to in-game dialog, King Zora and Biggoron are good friends and have known each other for a long time.[4] During the ending sequence of Ocarina of Time, King Zora is shown to be one of the few characters not celebrating the victory over Ganon, instead sitting next to a grieving Mido.
Majora's Mask
In the Majora's Mask manga, it is suggested that Toto may be his Terminan counterpart.
Oracle of Ages
King Zora also appears in Oracle of Ages in death at the "present time", due to an overwhelming amount of sea pollution. To save him, Link must travel to the past and give him a life potion. After this, he will grant Link permission to enter Jabu-Jabu if the young hero cleanses the seas, handing over the Library Key as well.
Twilight Princess
The King Zora in Twilight Princess is long dead. He was Queen Rutela's husband and the creator of the Zora Armor. It is implied by Eiji Aonuma that this is the same King Zora as in Ocarina of Time.[5]
Trivia
Wearing the Goron Mask while speaking to King Zora reveals that Biggoron and King Zora are best friends, and have known each other since childhood.[4]
- The Cutscene in which King Zora moves aside in Ocarina of Time so as to allow link entry to Jabu Jabu's Lair is possibly one of the most exaggerated cutscenes in the Zelda series; at sixty seconds long.

But since that stranger, Ganondorf, came here, Lord Jabu-Jabu has been a little green around the gills... The evidence seems clear. Of course, you'll go find Ruto.
