• In the Wind Waker, it's implied/speculated that the Rito evolved from the Zora of Ocarina of Time. This bugs me on several levels. Firstly, to go from fish to bird would require a lizard-stage evolution first. Where are these dodongo-zoras, and why would they evolve into lizards? My Amazing Human Body Game Download more. What evolutionary advantage does being a reptile give? Secondly, the world was just flooded!

Why would FISH-PEOPLE evolve into BIRDS?! That seems like a disadvantage considering the world is just a giant ocean now! • You're falling into a classic TV-evolution trap. There is no reason whatever that becoming a bird-man from being a fish-man would require an intermediate lizard-man. It's also important to notice that an amphibious race like the Zora would indeed be massively inconvenienced by the kind of change that would result from Hyrule flooding. You just ask a saltwater fish how it likes melting icecaps.

• But Zora seem to live in freshwater. There's only one kind of water in Hyrule as of OoT (starts at Zora spring, becomes Zora River, ends at Lake Hylia), and I don't think Hylians can drink saltwater, so the Zora River must be freshwater. Assuming the gods flooded Hyrule with pure H 2O, the Zora would have no trouble at all living in the Great Sea. • It's an analogy. Of course vice versa would be equally troublesome. • Actually, in Majora's Mask, Zora lived in the sea. • Those are completely different Zoras.

• Then shouldn't they have adapted to the new water environment, rather than taking to what little land there was (as they had, before they received wings)? • Magic, perhaps. Back in the Old Days, the Zora and the Hyrulians were tight. It's possible that they chose to stay with the Hylians, teaching them how to survive on the sea, rather than simply abandon them to their fate. Maybe Lord Jabun or one of the Goddesses transformed them, so it wasn't a slow series of patches so much as an upgrade. • Possibly, the Rito were always there, just high in the mountains where Link never went- the Zora never left thier homes and stayed in the sea in Hyrule. This is probably an Epileptic Tree.

• Or maybe the Rito aren't the Zora. Think about it, the Zora worshipped Jabu-Jabu. Jabun was on Great Fish Island. In the ruins of the island, you can see fishing boats and the remnants of a village that looks a lot like the Zoras' seaside area in Majora's Mask. Maybe the Zora just hid in Wind Waker when Ganondorf destroyed their home. • Eiji Aonuma confirmed the Zora-Rito connection in something called 'Zelda Box' that Japan got around The Wind Waker's release.

• Although the previous Sage of the Earth Temple, Laruto, was a Zora. The game implies/outright states that Medli is Laruto's descendant. In addition to some of the evolutionary questions raised above, though it's hard to say why fish-turned-bird people would take over the Gorons' traditional fiery volcano home. Fire + feathers = good idea?!

• Phantom Hourglass also categorically confirms that the Rito are descended from the Zora. You can collect 'Zora Scales' which the game describes as having belonged to the ancestors of the Rito.

Doesn't get clearer than that. • Exactly when was that said? There's no such text in Phantom Hourglass at all.

• I vaguely recall that being stated somewhere, but can't remember where exactly. Follow for the Treasure descriptions.

The one for the Zora Scale says 'It is said that a Zora dropped this rare and sparkling scale!' • The amphibian stage for the Zoras is that weird freaky green design they had in Link to the Past. They looked a bit like frogs. • Actually, the 2D Zora design is more fish-like than the 3D design, which if anything looks dolphin-like.

Radiohead Ok Computer Rar 320 Guest. • It's probably not evolution so much as they were transformed by their Sky God (much like the Kokiris were changed into the free-floating Koroks after the flood), which also explains why they have to go back to Valoo for wings — they're not natural, so they don't pass on. Zora may (or may not) be able to live in salt water (the games don't agree on this, with some having ocean-only Zora and some having freshwater-only.) but for whatever reason the Zora couldn't live in the great sea (Heck, this could've been mandated by the goddesses as a way to keep Hyrule a secret/sealed.) They didn't evolve, though, such an evolution would take hundreds of millions of years, not a hundred. Instead, it's pretty clear that they were changed by Valoo into the Rito.
