'''King Zora''' is the king of the [[Zora]]s, a common race in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. He usually is rather large, and has a round shape. This is a huge difference from the rest of the Zora race, who are mostly tall and skinny. One could easily use these features to distinguish him from the other races. He appears in three games, and is mentioned in an additional game.

He can be found at the top most spot in [[Zora's Domain]], called the [[King Zora's Chamber]]. He is characterized by his large form, which is considerably bigger than any of the other Zora's.
