No, he's not. Discussion Pages like this one is where stuff like that can be.... discussed. If there's no obvious connection to an article, post in on the main page's talk page. IfIHaveTo 05:34, 23 December 2007 (EST)

King Zora
Who came up with that ridiculous idea of TP KZ and OOT KZ being the same being? First of all, I can't find that written in the interview anywhere, and the name also seems kinda odd to me. King (Do Bon) Zora The Third? What about this quote: ''Zora's Fountain Don't disturb Lord Jabu-Jabu! --King Zora XVI''. XVI = 16. Now, maybe this number refers to the surname, but since that is not mentioned in the game in any context ever, that would seem kinda odd to me. IfIHaveTo 05:59, 23 December 2007 (EST)


 * I just wanted to add something about lineages. King Zora can very well be the third "Do Bon" of his dynasty and be the sixteenth king in that same line. It is just that 2 of the 15 others need to also be named "Do Bon." PureLocke 18:26, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Wow, two years ago... but I agree and I feel this should be addressed. While I DO recall a vague quote from before the game's release saying that there would be a reference to an old character (implied to be King Zora), it's most likely in a similar sense of Link and Zelda returning in every Zelda game. Japanese, as a language, is not meant to be taken literally. It is most probably in the spiritual sense. Besides, answer me this - if this is the same King Zora as Ocarina of Time, and Rutela is his wife, then 1) where's Rutela and the prince in Ocarina of Time, 2) where's Ruto in Twilight Princess, and 3) Twilight Princess takes place GENERATIONS after Ocarina of Time, so how could the prince in Twilight Princess be so young and, well, ALIVE, with his (rather good looking) mother having been recently deceased?

 * Oracle of Ages clearly shows that Zora have extremely long life spans, the King Zora in the present is the same as the one in the past, remembering you clearly for saving his life 400 years ago (The 400 years being from a quot eof the Maku Tree).
 * Ruto's mother is implied to have died pre-OoT, if I recall correctly. But it's likely that King Zora remarried, meaning Rutela and the prince (Whose name escapes me at the moment) are merely half-siblings.
 * Now, where is Ruto? That's the million dollar question. She can't be fulfilling Sage duties, she wasn't awakened in the child timeline where TP happens. She was probably kille din the Twilight attack like Rutela was.Reign 20:28, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Grieving
At the end of Ocarina of Time, we see King Zora and Mido sitting away from the celebration, brooding. It seems to me that they've gotten the short end of the proverbial stick in this game. All in all, it seems King Zora has it a little worse, the Kokiri have hope for the future in the Deku Sprout, but check out this list of unresolved plot points they suffered. There's no way in the game to un-freeze Zora's Domain, is there? And we don't know what happened to Lord Jabu-Jabu, do we?

--Rootbeer277 20:53, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * King Zora
 * Lost Ruto
 * Lord Jabu-Jabu nowhere to be found
 * Kingdom frozen over
 * Mido
 * Lost Kokiri Link (although that was seven years ago)
 * Lost Saria
 * Great Deku Tree dead (although Deku Sprout provides hope)


 * There's more, though. Zora's domain was shown to be thawed during credits. Beyond that, it seems as if a few other characters are a bit optimistic as well.


 * Link Goron
 * Lost Father
 * No patriarch to the Goron race (or, worse yet, left with the burden of being patriarch himself)
 * Navi
 * Lost GDT
 * Sent on a traumatic journey through time with perhaps not the most competent companion
 * Lost Saria
 * Link
 * Lost Saria
 * Lost Darunia
 * Lost Ruto
 * Lost Navi
 * Lost GDT
 * sent on a traumatic journey through time
 * has a few boss battles under his belt

Okay, the list goes on, but my point is that a lot of people ended up with a really unpleasant ending and weren't sitting in the corner twiddling their thumbs in the end. I really won't know why, but that's the part of the game that gives you complex and uncomfortable feelings about the definition of Happy ending. --Stalkid (P T) 10:44, 20 August 2010 (EDT)

Name
Can this be really called King Zora (Ocarina of Time) when we have an OoA King Zora? Dany36 11:44, 3 September 2010 (EDT)
 * Good question, especially since (unlike in the case of Fado) it's not possible to distinguish this one merely by one game. Mmmmmm .... perhaps you could put the MM, OOA and TP game sections in a new one named Other Appearances? After all, the KZ from those are based on the one from OOT, whereas the ALTTP one is unique on his own. --K2L 19:40, 3 September 2010 (EDT)
 * This page should be moved to "King Zora (sea Zora)" or simply "King Zora". Jeangabin 05:38, 4 September 2010 (EDT)
 * That's pretty much what I was thinking. Anyone have any objections? Dany36 10:40, 4 September 2010 (EDT)
 * Yep. Give me a moment to finish up my H.C. post. IfIHaveTo 10:42, 4 September 2010 (EDT)
 * So...what was the objection? XD Dany36 11:57, 7 September 2010 (EDT)

On the subject of the name, I just found a quote that makes his official name to be "King Zora XVI" Should we move the page? Here's the quote if you're interested. "Zora's Fountain Don't disturb Lord Jabu-Jabu! --King Zora XVI" I think we should move the page to King Zora XVI and have a redirect to it from anything similar to King Zora, that way, we'll be even more complete with every little detail! 09:38, 12 September 2010 (EDT)


 * Whoa, I completely forgot about that quote. I support moving it to the page name instead. :) Dany36 11:03, 12 September 2010 (EDT)
 * There's one or two other King Zoras who are not (surely) XVI who then would be sharing the same page. And before you ask/say, no, "King Zora (Ocarina of Time)" is not the same kind of title as "King Zora XVI". One is "King Zora" with an identifier that is separated from the title, the other is "King Zora XVI" specifically. IfIHaveTo 12:40, 12 September 2010 (EDT)
