zora of teraminia and hyrule?

[garato]

Something never made any real sense to me... how is it that when hyrule was flooded the zora had to turn into rito but in majoras mask they could clearly swim in saltwater?

[Ritogirl]

Here's my theory.
In my opinion, the Zora couldn't find enough fish to feed themselves on the Great sea. This was probably becuase the fish of Hyrule are fresh water. Therefore they're gills and fins which encouraged them to swim, which had no benefit in obataining food, actually led them into the sea, which was filled with dangerous monsters. Therefore those who tried to find food on the ocean were killed by monsters. Those who lacked gills or fins didn't try to make a living off fish, travelled to Dragon Roost Island. Their they discovered Valoo a dragon who's scales gave them the power of flight, which was a beneficial adaption as you can avoid most of the monsters on the Great Sea by flying. Over time the Rito adapted to haave a more humaniod body in order to climb to the top of the Volcano (scales are slippery and a fall from that hieght could be fatal). I don't know about the beaks becuase the Rito's diet isn't gone into in WW. This is just speculation, but I think it cover's most of the Rito's adaptations.
It states several times in the game that there are no fish on the Great Sea. Also there are clearly and abundance of monsters. This is what happens when you try to apply logic to Zelda.

umm..... dang but thher are bad things in teraminia sea to right? ya like likes

[sage_of_fire]

Not to mention the giant eels. I like Ritogirls theory, makes sense.

[garato]

what about the parana fish in teraminia sea

[Ritogirl]

Though the Terminan Sea was dangerous there were most likely fish there. On the Great Sea the fish had all died out. Therefore the risk of swimming was offset by the gain of a food source. However on the Great Sea there was absolutely no benefit to swimming.

Nicely done. Makes me wonder what everyone eats without fish. Pork, perhaps? The only thing I have to add to it is that the zora would naturally try to escape the water with Ganon's minions (more easily adaptable than anything else I would presume, due to his dark magic) running rampant in the sea.

There may be some biological differences between the Majora's Mask zora and the Ocarina of Time zora, but I doubt it.

teraminia

NO. Teraminia=wrong. Termina=right.

[King KK]

Simple. Terminia =/= Hyrule. Zoras in Termina live in salt water, Zoras in Hyrule live in fresh water. Just like how Gorons in Hyrule lived in a fiery volcano, and the Gorons in Termina lived on an icy mountain.

No goron makes mention of hating the ice (except the really old one, I think). They seem to have no problems with it when it's normal; they're shivering before you complete the Snowhead Temple because it's abnormally cold. They survive in an extreme; it's just a different extreme than the Hylian gorons.

[Skeletonband]

Here's my little theory. The Zora in Hyrule are freshwater fish and they have counterparts in Termina that live in salt water. The opposite of freshwater could be salt water and saltwater Zora are the counterpart of freshwater Zora.

[garato]

wrong everyone knows the opposite of water is fire opposite of fire is grass and opposite of grass is earth opposite of earth is water

goron= fire
zora=water
kikory= grass
umm.... idk gorons= earth

[Drei]

...
The oposite of water would be something that negates it completely, not turn it into steam. Besides, Skeletonband didn't mean like that, he meant that they are counterparts because fo adaptations. One for fresh, another for salt.

[garato]

hmmmm odd when you think about it salt zora fresh zora.... cold goron hot goron.... gerouds ikana..... kikory are peacefull the deku are impereal.... dang teraminia and hyrule dont have alot in commen
