'''Lord Jabu-Jabu''' is a large fish that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''.

Lord Jabu-Jabu is the patron of the [[Zora]] people in ''Ocarina of Time''. He is likened to a kami from Japanese culture, a deity of sorts. He resides inside [[Zora's Fountain]], which has its entrance blocked off by [[King Zora]] himself. In order to be able to give Lord Jabu-Jabu the fish, Link must go to [[Lake Hylia]] first and dive for the bottled note. He must then show it to [[King Zora]] and he will very slowly move aside so Link can access the fountain. He is a large fish, or possibly even a whale. He loves to eat [[Fish]], and it is said that if you place a fish in front of his mouth, it will give you happiness. When [[Link]] gets there, Lord Jabu-Jabu is very sick from the evil that is inside him. When Link pours the bottled fish on the ground, Lord Jabu-Jabu sucks him up while he tries to eat the fish.   

After a while of being [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]], Link will encounter [[Ruto]], who has escaped inside of Lord Jabu-Jabu to hide from her father, King Zora. She says that she does that a lot, but this time it is filled with [[Biri|electric jellyfish]], weird [[Shabom|soap bubbles]] and [[Parasitic Tentacle|tentacles]] with clubs at the end. Not only that, but she lost the gem that her mother gave her. This later turns out to be [[Zora's Sapphire]], one of the three treasures Link must obtain in order to open the [[Door of Time]] and pull the [[Master Sword]] from its pedestal in the [[Temple of Time]]. Link must also kill the evil that resides within him, [[Barinade]].

[[File:Lord-Jabu-Jabu-Sprite-2.png|left]]Lord Jabu-Jabu is a huge fish who stands as the [[Deity]] of the Zora tribe. [[Jabu-Jabu's Belly]] is said to be a huge maze, but only those allowed by [[King Zora (Oracle of Ages)|King Zora]] can enter.  

Late in his adventure, Link is informed by the [[Maku Tree]] that she senses and [[Essence of Time]] within a fish. That fish is none other than Jabu-Jabu himself. Once Link saves King Zora in the past, curing him of his illness, and helps the [[Fairy Queen (Oracle of Ages)|Fairy Queen]] to gain her old body and powers back so she can cleanse the seas of all the pollution, Link will be allowed to enter Lord Jabu-Jabu. Inside Jabu-Jabu is the location of the seventh [[dungeon]], as well as the next-to-last Essence of Time.
