Zora are normally found in or near large bodies of water, but very rarely stray far away from them. In [[Hyrule]], Zora live in the [[Zora's Domain]], a large cavernous fountain that is connected to the [[Zora River]], which flows directly to [[Lake Hylia]]; it is common to see Zora within these areas as well. Zora, however, do not solely live in fresh water, but can also thrive in salt water, such as the [[Great Bay]] Zora of {{MM}} and the sea Zora of {{OoA|-}}. In contrast to the enemy Zora of earlier titles, the peaceful Zora appear more distinctively humanoid than monstrous. Most individuals (but not all) have fins attached to their limbs and a tail at the back of their head, making their head alone resemble a fish. However, Zora also come in various shapes and sizes, with some lacking the head fin and others, like [[King Zora]], having a rotund appearance. Some Zora possess fins that greatly resemble the folds of clothing, such as the case with [[Rutela]]. Their skin color ranges between white, blue and gray, but few have also appeared bright red or brown as a seemingly rarer variant. | Zora are normally found in or near large bodies of water, but very rarely stray far away from them.
