Template:Item Zora Scales are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series. They are fragments of the skin of a Zora which seem to hold the aquatic identity of the species, as a non-Zora in the possession of one gets adapted to water.

Location and Uses

Ocarina of Time

Silver Scale

In Ocarina of Time, Link's own abilities allow him to dive for no more than three seconds, or in distance, three meters. When he reaches Zora's Domain, he can participate in the Diving Game. If he manages to collect all of the Blue Rupees underwater before time runs out, he will be rewarded with the Silver Scale, which enhances Link's diving capabilities to up to 6 meters.[1] It is required to enter Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly.

Golden Scale

The Golden Scale is an enhanced version of the Silver Scale.[2] The time and depth of a dive that can be achieved with the Golden Scale is up to nine meters. Unlike the Silver Scale, obtaining the Golden Scale is optional, although it is necessary to obtain a Piece of Heart in the Lakeside Laboratory. To obtain the Golden Scale, adult Link must catch a fish that breaks the current record by at least four pounds at the Fishing Pond in Lake Hylia.

Oracle of Ages

In Oracle of Ages, the Zora Scale is given to Link by a Zora after he defeats Plasmarine and gets the Rolling Sea essence from Jabu-Jabu's Belly.[3] The Zora Scale is required to bypass the Zora guarding the way to the Sea of Storms.[4] On the Sea of Storms, Link will find the stranded Piratians. The Zora Scale, which is a charm capable of calming the seas,[5] must be given to the Cap'n of the Piratians, so that they can escape the Sea of Storms.[6] As thanks, Link receives the Tokay Eyeball, which is required to access the Ancient Tomb.[7]

Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, Zora Scales are Treasures that can be sold on Mercay Island to the Teller of Treasures for a random amount of Rupees.[8] It is also a highly valued commodity among members of the Ho Ho Tribe.

Ruto winks to the screen, then forms a pool of water on the ground around her, which quickly turns into a whirlpool as she swims around in it. After a few seconds, the whirlpool shifts into a watery twister, before exploding and throwing enemies outwards. This attack damages enemies in a circular range around Ruto.
