Zora River

, also known as,  is a recurring location in the. It is one of the main bodies of water in Series:, with its water source being either Series: or Series:.

In, water from the Zora's River flows from OoT:, which serves as the water source of all OoT:. While the region known as Zora River consists of a region of the river to the east, the river itself continues throughout OoT:. Eventually, the water of Zora's River reaches OoT:, passing through OoT: in the process. At the northern section of the river is the OoT:, a seemingly impassable waterfall that protects the entrance to OoT:. Zora's River is accessible either by OoT: or through an underwater portal located in the OoT:.

A few bridges are built over the river for easy traversing. Its waters, however, are infested with monsters. On the way to the OoT: is a group of frogs collectively known as the OoT:, although they disappear when OoT: returns to the river seven years later.

portrays Zora's River in possibly its largest incarnation thus far. The water from Zora's River comes from the throne room in TP:. It flows down to a section known as the TP:, and from there the water splits into three branches. One branch flows into north TP:, and the other two wind down through an area known as the TP:. The latter branches serve as the water source for TP:, which is where the river ends. However, these parts of the river are not accessible by foot and can only be reached by canoe or by riding a TP:. Due to its immense length, the river serves as the location of two mini-games: TP: and TPHD:. Going against the rapids involves TPHD:, using a TP: for flight. Going downstream involves traversing the Rapid Ride in a kayak (similar to the one used in TP:).

When TP: as a TP: first visits the TP: while it is covered in TP:, he finds out that the Zora's River has dried up since TP: has completely frozen over. As such, TP: has dried up as well, threatening the lifestyle of the TP: people and impeding them from returning upstream. To get to TP:, TP: has to ride a TP: through the dried-up river. Upon reaching TP:, TP: will discover that the TP:s' entire domain has frozen over, and it is not until TP: TP: a TP: from TP: into the TP:s' throne room that the ice will melt and the water will begin to flow again. Later, he must travel to TP: by TP: a second time to defeat the NaN Shadow Insects along the route and obtain their TP:.

In, BotW: begins at the southern part of BotW:, and it flows throughout the BotW: through several NaN Waterfalls. BotW:, BotW:, and BotW: all cross over BotW:, connecting parts of the road leading to BotW:. At its end, the BotW: empties out into the BotW:.

10,000 years ago, during the BotW:, BotW: was constructed over the BotW: due to its abundance of fresh BotW:. However, the BotW: would flood every 10 years due to heavy BotW: in BotW:, which would damage the BotW: and wash away the NaN Zoras who lived there. The king of the NaN Zoras reached out to the BotW: for assistance, which resulted in the construction of the BotW:.

After BotW: perished during the second BotW:, the NaN Zoras attempted to send her BotW: down the BotW: to set her soul to rest. When they did so, however, the BotW: began to glow, and BotW:'s voice could be heard telling them to abandon their grief and focus on remembering her. As a result of this, the BotW: is celebrated on the anniversary of the BotW:.

Shortly before BotW: awoke from his BotW:, BotW: reactivated in the BotW: and began endlessly generating BotW:. The amount of BotW: caused by this has threatened to overflow the BotW:, which would flood both the BotW: and the BotW: settlements downstream. Due to BotW:'s fears, BotW: left BotW: in search of a BotW: to help them face BotW:.

During the "BotW:" BotW:, BotW: is tasked with following the BotW: up the path to BotW:. At the same time, BotW: will be swimming up the BotW:, and he will call out to BotW: from that BotW: at several points in their journey.

There are legends that if someone sends a letter down the BotW: from the BotW:, the person who responds to them will be their true love. BotW: has been following this legend by setting her NaN Love Letters adrift in the BotW:, from which she has received replies from BotW:. However, her mother BotW: has forbidden her from doing so due to BotW:'s rampage. After the "BotW:" BotW: has been completed, BotW: will ask BotW: to watch her BotW: as it floats down the BotW: so she can find out who has been replying to her. Agreeing to do this activates the "BotW:" BotW:. As BotW: follows the BotW: down BotW:, he will have to keep it safe from NaN Monsters. It will also get caught along fences or in outcroppings, requiring BotW: to set it back on its course. After it reaches the end of the BotW:, it will drift towards BotW:'s campsite at its mouth.

Many NaN Treasure Chests can be found floating or submerged within the BotW:. In total, these NaN Treasure Chests contain one BotW:, one BotW:, one BotW:, one BotW:, five NaN Arrows, 10 NaN Ice Arrows, and one BotW:. In BotW:, several wooden platforms carried by NaN Sky Octoroks can be found along the BotW:. These platforms bear NaN Treasure Chests that contain a BotW:, a BotW:, a BotW:, a BotW:, and a BotW:.

Zora's River appears in two stages of. The first appearance in LCT: places LCT: inside a canoe and travels down the same section of the river as TP:'s Rapid Ride. The second appearance of the river in LCT: is specifically seated in the outer waters of LCT:.

Trivia

 * Until OoT: plays "OoT:" at the OoT: in, OoT: will constantly reappear near the entrance of Zora's River and instruct him to play the aforementioned song whenever OoT: moves far away enough to reload him or leaves Zora's River and returns.
 * In, the TP: part of Zora's River passes through the TP: and under the TP:. Despite this, the map labels it as part of the TP:.
