History
Following various failed attempts at creating a group system on LoZ.com from 2005 to 2007, the Zora Nobles, Goron Elders, and Kokiri Kids were created in September of 2007, with Kandid as group leader for the Zora Nobles. Eventually, the new incarnation of the groups fell into the inactivity that had plagued every previous group system. To revitalize the groups, the leaders, all of whom were forum staff members, were replaced by non-staff, so that the leaders would lend all their attention solely to their group, rather than the management of the entire site. On August 17th 2008, shadow was hired as group leader. Shadow brought a lot of change to the group, including: the closing of the Zora RPG sub board (which was very inactive), the creation of various competitions (including the creation of a new Zora banner by acid-flier), and the management of Zora nomination process in the LegendofZelda.com presidential elections. Currently, the Zora Nobles are the only group not to use the original group banner created by Chance.

The current Zora candidate for the 2009 LoZ.Com Presidential Election is Teeler. He has had numerous ads in the Colosseum supporting him.

Teeler ran against the users Sword of faith, and Dark Hunter(Currently known as BloodyIris). He won the election with Sword of Faith in second, and Dark Hunter in third. He received a great deal of support in this stage of the election, and won by a landslide
