[[File:Zorariver.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Zora's River]]
In {{OoT}}, water from the Zora's River flows from {{Term|OoT|Zora's Fountain}}, which serves as the water source of all {{Term|OoT|Hyrule}}. While the region known as Zora River consists of a region of the river to the east, the river itself continues throughout {{Term|OoT|Hyrule Field|link}}. Eventually, the water of Zora's River reaches {{Term|OoT|Lake Hylia}}, passing through {{Term|OoT|Gerudo Valley|link}} in the process.<ref>{{Cite|All of the water in Hyrule flows from Zora's Fountain.

A few bridges are built over the river for easy traversing. Its waters, however, are infested with monsters such as [[Octorok]]s and Blue [[Tektite]]s. On the way to the Sleepless Waterfall is a group of frogs collectively known as the [[Fabulous Five Froggish Tenors]], although they disappear when [[Link]] returns to the river seven years later.

{{TP}} portrays Zora's River in possibly its largest incarnation thus far. The water from Zora's River comes from the throne room in Zora's Domain. It flows down to a section known as the Upper Zora's River, and from there the water splits into three branches. One branch flows into north [[Hyrule Field]], and the other two wind down through an area known as the [[Rapids Ride]]. The latter branches serve as the water source for [[Lake Hylia]], 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 [[Kargarok]]. Due to its immense length, the river serves as the location of two mini-games: [[Iza's Rapid Ride]] and the [[Fruit Pop Flight Challenge]]. Going against the rapids involves the Fruit Pop Flight Challenge, using a [[Kargarok]] for flight. Going downstream involves traversing the Rapid Ride in a kayak (similar to the one used in [[Lure Fishing]]).

When {{Term|TP|Link}} as a {{Term|TP|Wolf Link|link|display=wolf}} first visits the {{Term|TP|Lanayru Province|link}} while it is covered in {{Term|TP|Twilight|link}}, he finds out that the Zora's River has dried up since {{Term|TP|Zora's Domain}} has completely frozen over.

In {{BotW}}, {{Term|BotW|Zora River}} begins at the southern part of {{Term|BotW|Ruto Lake|link}}, and it flows throughout the {{Term|BotW|Lanayru Great Spring|link}} through several {{Plural|BotW|Waterfall|link}}. {{Term|BotW|Inogo Bridge|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Oren Bridge|link}}, and {{Term|BotW|Luto's Crossing|link}} all cross over {{Term|BotW|Zora River}}, connecting parts of the road leading to {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain}}. At its end, the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}} empties out into the {{Term|BotW|Lanayru Wetlands|link}}.
 
10,000 years ago, during the {{Term|BotW|Era of Prosperity|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain}} was constructed over the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}} due to its abundance of fresh {{Term|BotW|Water (Terrain)|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|The rains have blessed Lanayru since ancient times with an abundance of pure, clean water. Seeking a bounty of such water, the Zora gathered there. Thus, as the legends go, the domain was born 10,000 years ago.|History of the Zora, Part One|BotW}}</ref> However, the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}} would flood every 10 years due to heavy {{Term|BotW|Rain|link}} in {{Term|BotW|Lanayru (Region)|link}}, which would damage the {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain|display=Domain}} and wash away the {{Plural|BotW|Zora|link}} who lived there.<ref>{{Cite|Once every 10 years, the Lanayru region experiences unusually heavy rainfall. The Zora River flooded every time. The tides damages not only our domain but our people, washing away poor souls and causing great suffering and disarray.|History of the Zora, Part Two|BotW}}</ref><ref name="CaC">{{Cite Book|quote= |book= CaC|publisher= |page= 362}}</ref> The king of the {{Plural|BotW|Zora}} reached out to the {{Term|BotW|King of Hyrule|link}} for assistance, which resulted in the construction of the {{Term|BotW|East Reservoir Lake}}.<ref>{{Cite|The Zora king of that time, after seeking aid from the king of Hyrule, rode out to see what could be done. By joining the architectural genius of the Zora and Hyrule's technological prowess, East Reservoir Lake was swiftly built. Thanks to this fruitful partnership, Hyrule was no longer plagued by these devastating floods.|History of the Zora, Part Two|BotW}}</ref>
 
After {{Term|BotW|Mipha|link}} perished during the second {{Term|BotW|Great Calamity|link}}, the {{Plural|BotW|Zora}} attempted to send her {{Term|BotW|Lightscale Trident|link}} down the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}} to set her soul to rest.<ref>{{Cite|As a Champion, Mipha made her people proud. However, once the Great Calamity stuck, she was never to return. All of Zora's Domain fell into misery. The merest thought of the princess was enough to overcome anyone with tears. As a way of offering her soul repose, they tried to send the Lightscale Trident drifting down the Zora River.|History of the Zora, Part Four|BotW}}</ref> When they did so, however, the {{Term|BotW|Lightscale Trident}} began to glow, and {{Term|BotW|Mipha}}'s voice could be heard telling them to abandon their grief and focus on remembering her.<ref>{{Cite|But when they did, the trident began to glow, and Mipha's voice rang loud and clear for all Zora to hear: "The Lightscale Trident and I are one... Abandon your grief and know joy once again.

Shortly before {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} awoke from his {{Term|BotW|Slumber of Restoration|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Ruta|link}} reactivated in the {{Term|BotW|East Reservoir Lake|link}} and began endlessly generating {{Term|BotW|Water (Terrain)}}.<ref>{{Cite|... Link. {{Color|BotW Blue|Divine Beast Vah Ruta}} has great power. It has the unique ability to create an endless supply of water. Of late it has been mercilessly spouting water into the air. As a result, this area has been plagued by heavy rains.|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref> The amount of {{Term|BotW|Rain}} caused by this has threatened to overflow the {{Term|BotW|East Reservoir Lake}}, which would flood both the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}} and the {{Term|BotW|Hylian|link}} settlements downstream.<ref>{{Cite|Sadly, the rains have filled the eastern {{Color|BotW Blue|reservoir}} nearly to the point of flooding. If the {{Color|BotW Blue|reservoir}} bursts, as it soon will, I fear immense damage will befall not only Zora's Domain... but also the area downstream from us. There, Hylian lives are in very great danger.|King Dorephan|BotW}}</ref> Due to {{Term|BotW|King Dorephan|link}}'s fears, {{Term|BotW|Sidon|link}} left {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain}} in search of a {{Term|BotW|Hylian}} to help them face {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Ruta}}.<ref>{{Cite|I have been searching for someone like you for a long while.

When Link as a [[Wolf Link|wolf]] first visits the [[Lanayru Province]] while it is covered in [[Twilight]], he finds out that the Zora's River has dried up since Zora's Domain has completely frozen over. As such, Lake Hylia has dried up as well, threatening the lifestyle of the [[Zora]] people and impeding them from returning upstream.<ref>{{Cite|At this rate, the lake will most definitely vanish if we don't somehow get water from Zora's Domain upstream...|Zora|TP}}</ref> To get to Zora's Domain, Link has to ride a [[Shadow Kargarok]] through the dried-up river. Upon reaching Upper Zora's River, Link will discover that the Zoras' entire domain has frozen over, and it is not until [[Midna]] [[Warping|warps]] a [[Molten Shard|volcanic rock]] from [[Death Mountain]] into the Zoras' throne room that the ice will melt and the water will begin to flow again. Later, he must travel to Upper Zora's River by Shadow Kargarok a second time to defeat the [[Twilit Insect]]s along the route and obtain their [[Tears of Light]].
During the "{{Term|BotW|Reach Zora's Domain|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Main Quest|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} is tasked with following the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}} up the path to {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain}}.<ref>{{Cite|Now {{Color|BotW Blue|Zora's Domain}} will be saved for certain! No time to waste! Hurry up and head over! Because of the rain, {{Color|BotW Red|the cliffs are too wet to climb}}. To reach the domain, you will need to go straight along this path.|Sidon|BotW}}</ref> At the same time, {{Term|BotW|Sidon|linl}} will be swimming up the {{Term|BotW|Zora River|display=River}}, and he will call out to {{Term|BotW|Link}} from that {{Term|BotW|Water (Terrain)}} at several points in their journey.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|HEY! Link!!}} Sorry for calling out to you from the river! Since I pressured you into coming, I was not sure you would really come through. I am pleased things are going well. Ever since this strange occurrence, there have been a lot of {{Color|BotW Blue|monsters}} around here. Be careful as you proceed! {{Big|And hurry! All of my fellow Zora are anxiously awaiting your arrival!}}|Sidon|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|{{Big|Hey! Link!!}} You're almost halfway to Zora's Domain!

Down here!}} You are still pretty far off, my friend! But I was sure you'd be passing over this bridge, so I have been waiting for you. You will be in {{Color|BotW Blue|Zora's Domain}} before you know it! In fact, I'm going to head that way too! I shall meet you there!|Sidon|BotW}}</ref>


====Upper Zora's River====
There are legends that if someone sends a letter down the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}} from the {{Term|BotW|Bank of Wishes|link}}, the person who responds to them will be their true love.<ref>{{Cite|If you send a {{Color|BotW Red|letter}} down the River from the {{Color|BotW Blue|Bank of Wishes}} and get a reply... that person will be yours forever!|Finley|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Finley|link}} has been following this legend by setting her {{Plural|BotW|Love Letter|link}} adrift in the {{Term|BotW|Zora River|display=River}}, from which she has received replies from {{Term|BotW|Sasan|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|I have a pen pal! When I put a {{Color|BotW Red|letter}} in a bottle and send it down {{Color|BotW Blue|Zora River}}, I always get a reply, without fail. It's so fun and mysterious!|Finley|BotW}}</ref> However, her mother {{Term|BotW|Kodah|link}} has forbidden her from doing so due to {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Ruta}}'s rampage.<ref>{{Cite|Ugh! I'm so mad at her! I need to go to the {{Color|BotW Blue|Bank of Wishes}} to send a letter...but Mother won't let me go because of that water monster.|Finley|BotW}}</ref> After the "{{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Ruta (Quest)|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Main Quest}} has been completed, {{Term|BotW|Finley}} will ask {{Term|BotW|Link}} to watch her {{Term|BotW|Love Letter}} as it floats down the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}} so she can find out who has been replying to her.<ref>{{Cite|If you're a traveler, that's lucky for me! OH, WOW! If that's the case, I have an important request for you. Once I release it, I'd like you to follow my {{Color|BotW Red|love letter}} and get to know whoever picks it up. Once you do that, please report back to me so I can find out what kind of person he is...|Finley|BotW}}</ref> Agreeing to do this activates the "{{Term|BotW|Special Delivery|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Side Quest|link}}. As {{Term|BotW|Link}} follows the {{Term|BotW|Love Letter}} down {{Term|BotW|Zora River}}, he will have to keep it safe from {{Plural|BotW|Monster|link}}. It will also get caught along fences or in outcroppings, requiring {{Term|BotW|Link}} to set it back on its course. After it reaches the end of the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}}, it will drift towards {{Term|BotW|Sasan}}'s campsite at its mouth.
[[File:Rapid Ride2.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Link canoeing down Zora's River]]
:''See also: [[Iza's Rapid Ride]] and [[Hena's Fishing Hole]]
Upper Zora's River is the location of one of Link's early battles with the [[Twilit Messenger]]s in [[Hylian]] form. When they fall from the [[Portal|Twilight Portal]], [[Iza]], the owner of the boat rental shop, who is standing nearby, will give a scream.<ref>{{Cite|YAAAH!|Iza|TP}}</ref> After the young hero defeats the shadowy messengers, she will be impressed by Link's bravery and let him into her hut.<ref>{{Cite|Whoa, that scared me... [...] How can you keep your cool fighting monsters like that? [..] Wow, what a champ you are!|Iza|TP}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Well, what are we standing around
jawing for? Come on inside!|Iza|TP}}</ref> Once inside, she will request that Link aid her by clearing the river downstream of a rockfall preventing it from flowing.<ref>{{Cite|Well, I USED to rent boats here, but then we had a rockfall and it dammed the river up. Yeah... I could sure use a helpful guy around at times like this... Yup, a handy guy would sure be a big help around here.|Iza|TP}}</ref> If he agrees to remove the debris that has clogged the flow of the river, Iza will lend Link a [[Bomb Bag]] and fill up his quiver with arrows.<ref>{{Cite|I'll give you some bombs and arrows, so you just put 'em together and shoot bomb arrows at that thing.|Iza|TP}}</ref> By shooting the rocks that are visible from the hut's interior, the young hero will be able to row down the rapids and clear the rest of the rocks that are blocking the waterflow. Once Link reaches [[Lake Hylia]], Iza's assistant, a [[Zora]] who guides the young hero through the rapids, will allow the young hero to keep the Bomb Bag that Iza lent him.<ref>{{Cite|It's all right. I'll let her know you kept it when I get back.|Iza's Part-time Worker|TP}}</ref> After clearing the river and returning to Upper Zora's River, Link can play the [[Rapid Ride]] minigame, where he will again use Bomb Arrows to hit targets, but instead of rocks, Iza has placed large pots for him to destroy, allowing Link to win a [[Giant Bomb Bag]] if he scores 25 or more points.<ref>{{Cite|Congratulations! As the first customer to score at least 25 points, you receive this prize!|Iza's Part-time Worker|TP}}</ref>


Iza's sister, [[Hena]], also resides in Upper Zora's River.  Hena runs a [[Fishing Hole]] where Link can go [[Fishing]]. Link can bobber fish without charge in the Fishing Hole,<ref>{{Cite|Fishing Hole / Bobber fishing open to public.|Sign|TP}}</ref> or he can rent a canoe from Hena for a small charge and go lure fishing instead.<ref>{{Cite|It's 20 Rupees to try some lure fishing. There's no time limit, and the canoe rental's included!|Hena|TP}}</ref> Hena also gives Link a chance to test his skills in the game of [[Rollgoal]], which she invented herself.<ref>{{Cite|Ooh, that caught your eye, did it? I made that game, y'know! I gave it a really fun name, too...ROLLGOAL!|Hena|TP}}</ref>
Many {{Plural|BotW|Treasure Chest|link}} can be found floating or submerged within the {{Term|BotW|Zora River|link}}. In total, these {{Plural|BotW|Treasure Chest|display=Chests}} contain one {{Term|BotW|Silver Rupee|link}}, one {{Term|BotW|Opal|link}}, one {{Term|BotW|Zora Spear|link}}, one {{Term|BotW|Silver Bow}}, five {{Plural|BotW|Arrow|link}}, 10 {{Plural|BotW|Ice Arrow|link}}, and one {{Term|BotW|Bomb Arrow|link}}. In {{Term|BotW|Master Mode|link}}, several wooden platforms carried by {{Plural|BotW|Sky Octorok|link}} can be found along the {{Term|BotW|Zora River}}. These platforms bear {{Plural|BotW|Treasure Chest}} that contain a {{Term|BotW|Silverscale Spear|link}}, a {{Term|BotW|Zora Spear}}, a {{Term|BotW|Zora Sword|link}}, a {{Term|BotW|Silver Shield|link}}, and a {{Term|BotW|Silver Bow}}.


Additionally, a [[Howling Stone]] can be found in this area.
