Zora

Zora are Hyrule’s aquatic folk. Possessing fish and
amphibian-like traits, including fins, gills, and webbed
feet, the zora are perfectly adapted to survive and thrive
in the world’s lakes, rivers, and oceans. The zora are also
masters at navigating the waters, easily capable of going
against the currents, and even up waterfalls. However
all the benefits of these aquatic abilities, lightning and
electricity are extremely damaging to the zora, often
forcing them to leave such threats in the hands of the
other races.
