ZoraRiver000

I came because Dradd called me here. But boy, have things gotten messy for the boss!

ZoraRiver000

Wh-what's going to happen now?!

ZoraRiver000

Lord Jabu-Jabu inhaled my friends! And now he's heading for my village!

Wh-what's going to happen? What can I do?

ZoraRiver000

I saw Lord Jabu-Jabu rampage into the sea!

Is the Sea Zora village in trouble now? Th-this is too scary!

ZoraRiver000

I'm SO worried! I should go after them and help out too...

What's wrong? Farewell.

ZoraSea000

Chief Kushara and the others rushed by. They told us to stay here until calm prevails.

ZoraRiver000

Lord Jabu-Jabu's den is near here. But I guess we've got to leave it to the big bosses...

ZoraRiver000

I want to get to that den more than anything. But yeah, we've got to stay put.

ZoraRiver000

After staying put here so long, I've really gotten to know this Sea Zora guy.

ZoraSea000

Our friendship began when we were scared for our villages—and calmed each other.

ZoraRiver000

C-come on! That's embarrassing!

ZoraRiver000

The Lord Jabu-Jabu impostor wrecked a lot of things around Jabul Waters.

We're fixing it all, but it's taking time. Many areas are still in a state.

ZoraSea000

We'll just keep working until it's done. There's nothing we can't accomplish together!

ZoraRiver000

Yeah! The Sea Zora, the River Zora...and those who live in Seesyde Village too!

Tellum

Welcome to the River Zora village, where friendly hellos and good times flow!

Tellum

At least, uh, normally. Lord Jabu-Jabu's gone berserk. Now we're all just scared.

Tellum

Welcome to the River Zora village, where friendly hellos and—

Oh, never mind! What was that loud ruckus all about?

Tellum

I heard Dradd's voice too! What in the world is going on?!

Tellum

Welcome to the River Zora village!

But where's Lord Jabu-Jabu gone to now? His wave of destruction will ruin Jabul Waters!

Tellum

Welcome to the River Zora village!

There's stuff broken all over the place. But at least calm has come back to our home.

Tellum

Welcome to the River Zora village, where friendly hellos and good times flow!

That's the way it should be—relaxing up here by the easy streams of Jabul Waters!

Inawa

I'll trust my friends to look into the problem with the rift in Lord Jabu-Jabu's den.

Inawa

The whole mess is so huge. I really wouldn't know where to start...

Inawa

Good thing the boss was able to make up with Kushara!

Now if only Lord Jabu-Jabu would just come home.

Inawa

Hi there, Zelda!

Inawa

You nice and comfy here in our River Zora village?

Make yourself at home! We're all so happy to have you here!

Inawa

Oh, Zelda! Hi there!

Inawa

I've got a lot to do, looking into all the damage done by that impostor Lord Jabu-Jabu!

But I love staying busy, especially if it helps the boss out!

ZoraRiver003

All these rifts everywhere... I just want calm to return to Jabul Waters.

ZoraRiver003

When—WHEN—can I just go on a good stroll again?!

ZoraRiver003

A rift finally got me. I can't believe it.

ZoraRiver003

At least it's me. Couldn't stand it if my daughter got caught.

ZoraRiver003

Thanks for getting me out of that rift.

ZoraRiver003

It was terrible being in there—the worst thing I've ever been through.

ZoraRiver003

But hearing Kushara play her music... That almost made up for it.

ZoraRiver003

I left the River Zora village a long time ago but came back right away.

The water was icky away from home. Give me Jabul Waters forever!

ZoraRiver004

A really BIG rift opened up recently in Lord Jabu-Jabu's den.

His den is in a cave down the river. It's got some bold designs, inside and out.

ZoraRiver004

I get worried about all the strange stuff lately, like Lord Jabu-Jabu being out of control.

ZoraRiver004

Lord Jabu-Jabu came out of nowhere and wrecked my house.

Where'd he go? Farewell.

ZoraRiver004

He surged up that waterfall...

I think I also heard someone yell over there. This is all REALLY bad.

ZoraRiver004

*sigh* I haven't even paid off my house yet...

ZoraRiver004

Lord Jabu-Jabu's rampage really wrecked my house.

ZoraRiver004

*sigh* I haven't even paid it off yet...

ZoraRiver004

Lord Jabu-Jabu...I mean, the impostor...wrecked my house. But no one's fixed it yet!

I hope the others remember to do repairs here too.

ZoraRiver004

*sigh* I haven't paid off my house yet...

ZoraRiver004

My house got wrecked during that whole Lord Jabu-Jabu mess.

But everyone from here, the Sea Zora village, and Seesyde Village too, pitched in to repair it.

ZoraRiver004

I'm so incredibly thankful. I love my home, and now it's back to normal!

ZoraRiver005

Always nice to see visitors here.

My shop's open, despite what's going on with that huge rift and Lord Jabu-Jabu!

ZoraRiver005

He's acting so wild lately. It's hard for me to go out and restock.

I've got a good inventory now though, so I'll be fine for a while. Hopefully!

ZoraRiver005

I heard what sounded like a loud shout! It wasn't that long ago...

ZoraRiver005

but my shop is open as usual!

ZoraRiver005

I've heard the Sea Zora play their music in performances before.

ZoraRiver005

It's a gentle sound that's good for the heart and the mind. And for getting a great night's rest!

ZoraRiver005

Dradd and I go way back. We lived right next to each other growing up.

ZoraRiver005

He and Kushara of the Sea Zora became chiefs around the same time. Those two...

They're like two guppies in a pond.

ZoraRiver005

Dradd and I go way back. We used to play together all the time when we were kids.

ZoraRiver005

He acts tough, but he's pretty gooey when you get right down to it.

That's why we chose him to be our chief.

ZoraRiver006

Something bad's going to happen with all these rifts... I just know it...

May calm return to our waters...before it's too late.

ZoraRiver006

I heard a loud sound and then saw that my neighbor was in real trouble!

Lord Jabu-Jabu headed east of here. Is everyone else all right?

ZoraRiver006

Huh, I guess we need to protect ourselves now, when it really comes down to it.

ZoraRiver006

My son has never liked water. He used to be afraid even putting his face in it.

ZoraRiver006

But I'm glad he's just going for it now. Thanks for your help!

ZoraRiver007

Jabul Waters has been full of trouble lately!

I like to eat my favorite foods at times like this. Gotta keep my spirits up!

ZoraRiver007

What was that shout just before?! This is all getting too scary!

ZoraRiver007

I like to eat my favorite things in awful times. Really keeps my spirits up!

ZoraRiver007

When I want to fill my tum-tum, I go shopping at the shop next door.

ZoraRiver007

Can't fight without a good meal in me!

ZoraRiver007

That big rift's been fixed! Lord Jabu-Jabu has returned to us! Nothing but happy news...

Now we can really feast! Time to celebrate!

ZoraRiver007

Our houses all have ponds under our floors.

Makes it much easier to reach for a fishy snack!

ZoraRiver008

Boss Dradd is the best! You can depend on him for everything.

And when it comes to playing music, no one's got more fin-esse!

ZoraRiver008

He'll get the problem with Lord Jabu-Jabu's rampage wrapped up fast.

ZoraRiver008

The boss has gone off, leaving me here to keep an eye on things again...

Where'd he go? The squabble? Farewell.

ZoraRiver008

Huh? The boss went to Crossflows Plaza.

That's where all of the Zora meet. Like, uh...a hang-out spot with Lord Jabu-Jabu.

It's south of here, way down where the sea and river meet.

ZoraRiver008

You mean between Boss and the chief of the Sea Zora?

Those two have been squabbling since they were kids. But THIS time—yikes!

I get that they play music differently. But I hope they hurry and make up soon.

ZoraRiver008

One thing about Boss though! He trusts me so much, he leaves me here to look after stuff!

ZoraRiver008

This is Boss Dradd's house. I watch over his stuff. Yeah, he totally trusts me!

ZoraRiver008

I heard a terrible shout outside somewhere, but I won't abandon my post!

ZoraRiver008

Graaah! But I do wanna know! What's going on out there?!

ZoraRiver008

This is Boss Dradd's house. He trusts me to watch over all his stuff!

ZoraRiver008

The boss has been gone a long time. Gotta say I'm worried. But I'll keep watching out!

ZoraRiver008

I'm glad that Boss Dradd is safe. And everyone else too!

ZoraRiver008

But gotta say, I wish I'd done more this whole time than just watching Boss's stuff...

ZoraRiver008

Oh, Zelda! Thanks for your help with that whole thing!

You know, when I was trying to be a big shot, and got myself surrounded by monsters?

ZoraRiver008

When I got back, Boss Dradd scolded me for that mess. Guess he was worried!

He watches out for me more than I really knew. So, I still want to be a big shot...

but I'm going to get there in a better big-shot way next time!

Hemi

This is Lord Jabu-Jabu's den. But we can't get back there right now.

Hemi

To open the door, the chiefs of the river clan and the sea clan must play music here together.

River clan? Sea clan? Whatcha doing? Got it.

Hemi

Anything else you want to know about the river folk or the sea folk?

River folk? Sea folk? Whatcha doing? No, thanks.

Hemi

Me? I'm watching over Lord Jabu-Jabu's den!

Hemi

The sea clan and the river clan take turns doing this. We're from the river!

Hemi

Our chiefs are at each other's gills. But the rest of us all get along pretty well.

Hemi

The chiefs are really squabbling lately! Those two won't perform together anytime soon.

Hemi

Is it really true that Lord Jabu-Jabu got angry and swam off somewhere?!

Hemi

Well, one thing I do know. He's not here. I'd have heard him behind the door.

Hemi

It's a mess in there! Hunks of the ceiling came down. Scary stuff! I got out FAST.

Hemi

I think Lord Jabu-Jabu came back here and thrashed around deep in his den.

Hemi

Boss Dradd went inside though, and so did Kushara. I'm afraid of what's next!

Hemi

I've got to finish cleaning up this mess. Can't leave it for the Sea Zora to do.

Hemi

I've been trusted with this job, so I'm going to do my best. All of us Zora are hard workers!

Hemi

Phew! All done cleaning up the rubble. Hey! Didn't I do a great job?

You did great! Talk to you later.

Hemi

Ha ha! I know!

Hemi

I guess if you're here, you probably came to see Lord Jabu-Jabu, right?

Just head on back there!

Hemi

Hmph! Well, Boss Dradd knows when to give a compliment!

ZoraRiver010

The rift appearing... Lord Jabu-Jabu being on the rampage... A lot's going wrong.

And our chiefs are squabbling, on top of it all! Ugh. It used to be peaceful around here.

ZoraRiver010

I heard that a rift really roughed up this little area here.

I'm glad it's back to normal though. It's my all-time favorite place to take a nap!

ZoraRiver010

Standing here, looking up at the sky... All my cares just drift awaaaay...

You should try it sometime. You look like you're always on the go!

Medaka

My friends can all swim, but I can't do it.

I r-really want to practice, but the w-water is kind of scary!

Medaka

I was about to start my swim practice when Lord Jabu-Jabu raced right by me!

I always tell everyone that the water's scary! See? I was right! I'll never swim again.

Medaka

Splashy splash! This water is cold...and pretty cool too!

ZoraRiverC001

My papa and I found this rift on our walk...

ZoraRiverC001

It doesn't look that dangerous! Can't I touch it a little?

ZoraRiverC001

My papa... Boss Dradd... They're in the rift...

ZoraRiverC001

C-can you go in there? Can you save my papa? And the boss?

ZoraRiverC001

Kushara was great... Wish I could be cool as her...

ZoraRiverC001

Oh! Lord Jabu-Jabu left here and went down south.

ZoraRiverC001

The Zora love music! I'll be a great musician someday too!

ZoraRiverC001

Then I'll be able to play music with Kushara! I've got to do my best!

ZoraRiverC001

I wish I could play like Kushara. Her music is so beautiful.

ZoraRiverC001

I shouldn't have said that near Boss Dradd though! He looked at me real funny!

ZoraRiverC002

I wanna play music too!

Boss Dradd says I have to wait until I'm a grown-up though...

Dradd? Talk to you later.

ZoraRiverC002

Our chief! He's at the end of this path!

ZoraRiverC002

He said that playing music is a sacred duty. Li'l minnows like me can only watch!

ZoraRiverC002

Aw, I wanna be grown-up now!

ZoraRiverC002

I wanna grow up faster so I can play music like Boss Dradd!

Where does he live? Farewell.

ZoraRiverC002

Just follow the path! You'll get to his house!

The boss is our chief! So it's got a lot of chief style!

ZoraRiverC002

Aw, I wanna be grown-up now!

ZoraRiverC002

Did you really help my friend? And the chief of the Sea Zora helped too?

That's amazing! You're good people!

ZoraRiverC002

Boss Dradd made up with the Sea Zora chief, huh?

I wanna be friends with a Sea Zora!

ZoraRiverC002

Everyone worked together to fix up anything that was broken! Like houses and bridges!

And I made friends with one of the Sea Zora who came here to help!

Dradd

First, that rift! Now, Lord Jabu-Jabu's on the rampage! It's too much at once.

Dradd

And that jerk Kushara mocks my music at a time like this?!

Inawa

What's the plan, Boss?

Dradd

Just hang on. I'm thinking!

Should we help Lord Jabu-Jabu? Or look into that rift that appeared in his den?

Inawa

Hey, Boss! Tell me again... What's the plan for calming down Lord Jabu-Jabu?

Dradd

We'll play music! That'll make him show up. Then we play MORE music. Easy!

Inawa

So, we're just doing the normal Zora performance we do here?

Smart stuff, Boss! But, uh, traditionally we play with the Sea Zora too.

Dradd

Hmph! That'd mean working with Kushara! No, we'll perform this by ourselves!

Come on. Let's figure out what song we'll play before SHE decides to show up too.

Tri

It doesn't look like they're going to pay any attention to us.

Maybe we should try asking that other chief for help.

Dradd

These rocks aren't going to budge. May be a better idea to look for another way inside...

Dradd

Tr-trying to move that big rock earlier used up... t-too much of m-my strength...

But g-gotta get ready to play music...

Dradd

Let's defeat this impostor! That'll solve all our problems!

Dradd

Think you can save Lord Jabu-Jabu, Zelda? Just like you saved me?

He's a big deal to the Zora—our whole world, in a way! We must do something!

Dradd

Kushara and I always get into big arguments over nothing. But I hope we can put that behind us.

Dradd

We made up this time, with your help, Zelda. It shouldn't have to come to that though.

Dradd

Zelda! Great to see you!

The Zora really owe you hugely for everything you did for us. You're welcome here anytime.

Dradd

Oh, Zelda. Have you seen the Zora who helps me with smaller tasks around here?

He went down to the sea but hasn't come back. He's no minnow, so I shouldn't worry about it.

Dradd

I heard you saved the Zora who helps with little jobs around here. Sorry he caused you trouble.

I gave him a talking-to for being so reckless. Hopefully he doesn't do that again.
