Zola



Games Present In: The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past?, Link's Awakening?

Zolas are small men-like fish that will pop out of the water, quickly attack, and then go into hiding underwater again. In The Legend of Zelda you will see them any time you are near a body of water.

Zora or Zola?
There is some confusion about Zoras and Zolas. The term "Zora" first appears in A Link to the Past, but the Zoras that appear in the game are nearly identical to the Zolas, an enemy that attacks Link from the water, that appear in The Legend of Zelda. Link's Awakening also has a similar enemy that appears at one point in the game. It is possible that the term Zora was an error during localization. If that is the case, then Zoras and Zolas are the same race, but they just happened to turn evil at one point in the Zelda timeline. If this was not an error, then Zoras and Zolas are two seperate races that could easily confuse a fan.
