'''River Zoras''', also known as '''Zola''', are one of the two types of [[Zora]]s, being the wild and less civilized of the two. Instead of being characters that can be interacted with, River Zoras serve as an enemy type in a multitude of titles.{{Ref|[http://zelda.com/universe/pedia/z.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Zola is the name given to any female Zora who turns against Hylians and chooses to live a life of violence. They normally hide underwater, then spit fireballs at anyone who walks by.}}

The Zora King has been replaced with [[Queen Oren]], who plays a larger role in the game. Link needs to purchase the [[Smooth Stone]] from the Item Shop for 200 Rupees after the [[Shady Guy]] steals it and return it to the queen to receive the [[Flippers]] and access the [[House of Gales]]. Despite their gratitude for helping Queen Oren, she exclaims how they are to remain obedient toward Link, but have a hard time following orders.

==Non-canon Appearances==

River Zora are creatures that are found exclusively in the water of [[Hermit Flat]] and [[Ganon's Lair]]. They move around in the water, but when Link draws near, they will turn their attention towards him. They face Link and spit out rocks out of their mouth towards Link. These rocks can be deflected with Link's shield, but they are best just avoided by moving from side to side. Since River Zora appear in water, there is an additional hazard of falling into the water. Thus, River Zora are best defeated from a distance whenever possible. Bombs work well, but a sword beam attack will defeat River Zora in one hit.  

River Zora can be found in the water near [[Gohiyan Ship]], [[Shutoy Lake]], and [[Dodamai Palace]]. They look like and act the same as the did in ''Link: The Faces of Evil''.
