Reekfish/Zora's Domain Snowpeak theory

The Gorons are not all male.
One of them in OoT mentions his mother.

I found the quote, I don't think it stacks up compared to the fact that none are seen in game, and that the gorons refer to each other as brothers.

link the goron is darunia's son, they are the two most important gorons in OoT, but link's mother is never shown, especially during the fire temple as I would expect it.

...out of curiosity, Which goron was it?

We never know that.

Yep there are female and male gorons,but they, male and famale haven't physical differnces.

I think the point rhakiath is trying to make is that female gorons are never shown in game. I can understand in OoT if they couldn't be bothered making seperate sprites, but even in TP all Gorons are definitely male.

^They didn't bother to make male/female graphics for the Zoras either. Rutela and Ralis are the only "distinct" Zoras in the game. Are we to assume then that the other Zoras are all one gender?

Male and female Gorons look the same to Humans. Same with Zora's and whales.

You're a human and so you're not supposed to be able to tell the difference between male and female.

Right, okay. That makes more sense.

That makes a alot of sense Pinecove.

You can't tell a fishes gender apart. Sure some of them have distinctive markings or sizes to show their gender, but we can't tell on first glance.

To the fishes however, it's like us picking different genders apart as we take a lot at the person for the first time within a second.

But doesn't matter if JJ is male or Female. he or she would still need another giant fish to mate with to make little Jabus.

not necessarily, look at the kokiri. we have no way of knowing how they or JJ reproduces, since the issue is obviously not discussed in game.

who knows, maybe that's why JJ was gone during the freeze, he was off mating it up.

also I am not strictly saying that JJ was the parent of the reekfish, but they are related somehow in terms of function and possibly species(though species is hard to prove).

1.-Related in species: Not likely, they don't look alike in any way.
2.-Related in Function: definitely NOT. Jabu-Jabu and the reeck fish haven't the same function.

If what I think is true they do.

Lord Jabu-Jabu is the patron deity of the Zoras.

Our guardian god, Lord Jabu-Jabu...

King Zora's most trusted advisor, Lord Jabu-Jabu...

[Reekfish] are packed with nutrients, so they're revered and well cared for.

Jabu-Jabu is sacred because he is a god/guardian/advisor.

The Reekfish are sacred because "they're packed with nutrients."

alright, so how does JJ guard the zora?

my idea about both having a role in purifying water makes sense, but I have not heard any actual evidence of JJ doing anything useful.

I don't know, but the game says he does, so he does...

I'm just going with what the game tells us.

Then how come Ruto and Rutela have breasts?

^Because they're unique characters. Just like how Darunia looks different from other Gorons. He's not a different gender, he's just an important person.

I know, it's a stupid reason, but that's just the way it is.

Hopefully the next Zelda game will give us more then two or three character models for each race...

Because they're woman.

Milking system.
