| [[File:KingZoraXVI Oot 3D.png|100px|King Zora in Ocarina of Time 3D|left]]
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', he sits on his throne at the helm of [[Zora's Domain]], guarding passage to the great [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]], the patron deity of the Zoras.<ref>{{cite|Zora's Fountain is just beyond King Zora's throne. That is where Lord Jabu-Jabu swims. But... unless you have King Zora's permission, you can't go to Zora's Fountain.|[[Zora]]|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> Only when [[Young Link|Child Link]] presents him with a letter from his incarcerated daughter, held from within Lord Jabu Jabu, does he grant [[Link]] passage to [[Zora's Fountain|Lord Jabu Jabu's lair]].<ref>{{cite|Ho, this letter! It's from Princess Ruto!! Hmmm...Let's see... She's inside Lord Jabu-Jabu? That's not possible! Our guardian god, Lord Jabu-Jabu, would never eat my dear Princess Ruto! But since that stranger, [[Ganon]]dorf, came here, Lord Jabu-Jabu has been a little green around the gills... The evidence seems clear. Of course, you'll go find Ruto. You can pass through here to the altar of Lord Jabu-Jabu. I'll keep this letter. You keep the bottle it was in. Take it respectfully! Please find my dear Princess Ruto immediately... Zora!|King Zora|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> When Adult Link ventures to Zora's Domain, he finds King Zora and the rest of the region frozen solid: a curse placed on the region that stems from [[Morpha]]'s control of the the [[Water Temple]], the source of their water. Freeing King Zora from the ice after completing the [[Ice Cavern]] will grant Link a [[Tunic#Zora Tunic|Zora Tunic]] as a gift.<ref>{{cite|Oh--I've come back to life! Was it you who saved me? Don't be nervous! It looks like you have a hard time breathing underwater. As an expression of my gratitude, I grant you this tunic.

You're ready for anything, aren't you! With my heartfelt thanks...how about a KISS?! What? You don't want it?! Oh well...|King Zora|Ocarina of Time}}</ref>

| Incidentally, it appears that, according to in-game dialog, King Zora and [[Biggoron]] are good friends and have known each other for a long time.<ref name="Biggoron">{{cite|Talk about a nostalgia trip! [[Goron Mask|That]] reminds me of my childhood friend, Biggoron!|King Zora|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> During the ending sequence of ''Ocarina of Time'', King Zora is shown to be one of the few characters not celebrating the victory over [[Ganon]], instead sitting next to a grieving [[Mido]].

| |
| King Zora also appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' in death at the "present time", due to an overwhelming amount of sea pollution. To save him, Link must travel to the past and give him a life [[potion]]. After this, he will grant Link permission to enter Jabu-Jabu if the young hero cleanses the seas, handing over the [[Library Key]] as well.

| ===''Twilight Princess''===
| |
| The King Zora in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' is long dead. He was [[Queen Rutela|Queen Rutela's]] husband and the creator of the [[Zora Armor]].<ref name=armor>{{cite|During his lifetime, my husband created garments specifically for the chosen hero, garments that house the abilities of the Zora.|Queen Rutela|TP}}</ref> His grave is located in the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]] and is where Link is given the Zora Armor by the ghost of Queen Rutela.

| | |
| It is implied by [[Eiji Aonuma]] that this is the same King Zora as in ''Ocarina of Time''.<ref name=Quote1>[http://www.thehylia.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1173582355&archive=&start_from=&ucat=19& Nintendo Dream: Eiji Aonuma Interview 1]: ''"There’s a reference to King Zora (the king of the Zora race in Ocarina of Time; his official name is Do Bon, the third), and there are some pictures of the man from the fishing pond (the owner of a fishing business near Lake Hylia in Ocarina of Time)."''</ref> This is supported by the fact that Queen Rutela states on how her husband created "garments specifically for the chosen hero" that would allow him to breathe underwater, hinting at the [[Zora Tunic]] in ''Ocarina of Time''.<ref name=armor/>

| |
| *Wearing the [[Goron Mask]] while speaking to King Zora reveals that [[Biggoron]] and King Zora are best friends, and have known each other since childhood.<Ref name="Biggoron"/>
| |
| *The Cutscene in which King Zora moves aside in ''Ocarina of Time'' so as to allow Link entry to Jabu Jabu's Lair is possibly one of the most exaggerated cutscenes in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]], at sixty seconds long.
