>>12615638 >I think rito is a completely different race with nothing in common with the Zoras. Not /vr/, but BotW does exactly that, though the Rito are now full furry (feathery?) instead of the odd human/bird fusion of WW.
>>12615638 >Human-bird hybrids Well, let's just say some lonely guy on the island saw some really sexy bird and... >evolve I guess you could call it that
>>12615638 “Hyrule History” would be better if it were an academic text that thoroughly analyzed the series. But it’s just a book containing information that can be found in *Nintendo Power*. The name of the thing you saw is “leitmotif.”
>>12615638 Holy shit dude I was thinking about this the other day. The Zora SHOULD be the dominant species in Wind Waker since the world is just water now. There was no evolutionary pressure to lose the ability to swim lol
>>12616980 Wasn't there a mention that the sea is cursed to only produce monsters and normal sealife can't live in it, so it's essentially poisonous to the Zora?
>>12615638 Common misconception is that ALL ZORA transformed into Rito before Wind Waker takes place. There's actually two species of Zora, one that exist in fresh water rivers and lakes, and those that exist in salt water seas. Only one of those kind made the transition.
