River Zoras are found in the rivers throughout the game and peek their heads above the surface and shoot fireballs at Link. If they are close enough to the surface, Link can slash them with his sword, otherwise he can shoot a seed or use the Boomerang to defeat them. Most of the time it is better to avoid trying to defeat a River Zora as it can be tedious to do so.

The River Zoras make another appearance in the same locations (except the Zora's Lake area which was mostly removed) as those in ''A Link to the Past''. Their attacks are the same as in prior games, shooting fireballs at Link. These attacks are blockable by both the [[Shield]] and the [[Hylian Shield]]. Many of Link's items are now effective on the River Zora, including the [[Bow]] and [[Fire Rod]], though it can be difficult for some of these items to hit.

The Zora King has been succeeded by [[Queen Oren]], who plays a larger role in the game.

Despite their gratitude for helping Queen Oren, she exclaims how they are to remain obedient toward Link, but have a hard time following orders.
