Sea Zoras

Rogma said I should come. But I never expected to see the River Zora chief here too.

I'm sure this will end...badly.

I...can't believe this is happening.

I really hope that the chiefs can figure out some way to work together.

Lord Jabu-Jabu just came down the river and surged through the plaza.

He headed straight for the sea. Oh dear... I hope everyone will be safe there.

This fellow consoled me the whole time I was worrying over the state of our sea clan.

Thank you. You brought me calm when I needed it the most.

You helped me too! I was so worried! So right back at you.

It sounds like Lord Jabu-Jabu has returned to his den, north of Crossflows Plaza.

We'll wait here until we receive orders from Chief Kushara and Chief Dradd.

I've been here with this River Zora fellow since the moment when things got really bad.

Never talked to a Sea Zora this much before!

Same here! What a memory you and I will always share of this strange time!

Y-yeah, always! N-never mind me. *sniff* Just a bit of s-sand in my eye—that's all.

Jabul Waters was quiet until that rift came and the Lord Jabu-Jabu impostor rampaged.

But if that hadn't happened, this fellow and I would've never become friends.

Not all bad, if you think about it.

Quite right! Now we're lifelong friends!

Our leader, Chief Kushara, has our full love and respect.

I'm confident that she'll resolve these troubles with Lord Jabu-Jabu quickly.

The one who stands at the entrance to our village, guiding visitors, went off somewhere.

Did something happen outside?

I heard that Chief Kushara and Chief Dradd made up. That's great news.

I wonder how many makeups that makes it by now?

Our bubble kelp is a seaweed that we harvest fresh in Zora Cove.

I heard there are people out in the world who don't like seaweed. But it's so delicious!

The faces of our little Zora fishies are brighter, now that Jabul Waters has calmed down.

They'll be future customers, you know. We've got to raise them to be strong and healthy!

Say, what was in that unfortunate smoothie you gave me?

...Ah, forget I asked! It's probably best not to know the depths of that mystery.

It's one problem after another—that large rift and now Lord Jabu-Jabu's behavior too.

Perhaps my first step is to send an attendant to Lord Jabu-Jabu's den to look into the rift.

I feel so very grateful, Zelda. You came to the aid of the Zora and saved us all.

Still, it's hard to fathom how the chiefs actually put their differences behind them.

I'm truly relieved.

Squabbling chiefs...that large rift...and a Lord Jabu-Jabu on a rampage...

Zelda, I can't imagine what would have happened if you hadn't shown up.

What dread, just thinking about it.

Please, let me thank you again, Zelda!

My, my! If it isn't Lady Zelda! Welcome!

The Sea Zora appreciate what you've done to save Jabul Waters, Lady Zelda.

So much destruction. So much to be fixed. But all of the Zora are working together now.

A Hylian? I'm impressed you were able to swim all the way out here.

Do you have business in our village? If so...

you'll find the entrance down there.

Oh, this is bad. Lord Jabu-Jabu appeared in Zora Cove.

Chief Kushara went there too. Seems like they're all heading toward the small island in the east.

It seems Lord Jabu-Jabu has left the area.

But I'm sure it's no more than a pause before what's next to come.

Just what kind of creature was that impostor Lord Jabu-Jabu?

Was it trying to bring chaos to Jabul Waters? But, why do that?

Ah! Are you the Hylian who saved our waters?

Chief Kushara spoke highly of you. I'm sure she'd be delighted if you visited her.

I adore Chief Kushara. I have so much respect for her.

She's perfect in every way—and always looks out for our clan. The sight of her inspires me!

It's always such a pleasure to be in Chief Kushara's presence when she's here...

Where'd she go? What's this squabble? Farewell.

Our chief is going to Crossflows Plaza.

The Zora people gather there to take strength in the presence of Lord Jabu-Jabu.

You'll find the plaza if you head north of here. It's where sea and river meet.

Oh! You must be referring to the quarrel between Kushara and the chief of the River Zora.

Each has a different way of playing music. That's led them to argue about the smallest things.

They usually settle their differences quickly, but their quarrel is going on forever this time.

I hope our chiefs can make up soon so they can bring calm to Lord Jabu-Jabu.

I don't know when the chief will return. Until then, I'll simply reflect on her inspiring ways!

Oh, do you have business with Chief Kushara? She hasn't returned yet...

I have a bad feeling about it too. Please, don't tell me something awful's happened to Kushara!

Is it really true that Chief Kushara and Chief Dradd finally made up?

I have to admit that I think it's adorable when she quivers in anger. But getting along is good!

Behold! Chief Kushara is a shining example of bravery and excellence!

I...I can barely look at her—she's so bright!

You come up in conversation with Chief Kushara quite often, Zelda.

Your name puts her in the brightest of spirits.

I wish I could put her in such a glowing mood. Still, when she smiles, it brightens MY day.

Welcome to Sea Zora Village, our underwater paradise! New to the Jabul Waters area?

We're the Sea Zora—the Zora that make our home out here in the waves!

Welcome to Sea Zora Village, our underwater paradise!

Have you come back to see Chief Kushara? She hasn't returned yet.

After I heard that Lord Jabu-Jabu came down to Zora Cove, I rushed here to help Chief Kushara.

Who knew that any of this could happen? Ohhh, how terrible.

Word is that Lord Jabu-Jabu returned to his den.

Chief Kushara and the others are going there too. I hope...they're all OK.

Welcome back to Sea Zora Village, our paradise under the waves.

My friends are safe and sound, all because of you. Thank you so much!

Welcome back to Sea Zora Village, our paradise under the waves.

It's always nice to see you, Zelda! Our home is your home.

Oh, that son of mine! He's always going into this cave to pretend he's an adventurer...

But it's not safe out there with Lord Jabu-Jabu running wild! What's a mother to do?

Thank you for rescuing my son!

I owe Chief Kushara and Chief Dradd my thanks as well!

Thank you for rescuing my son, Zelda!

I thanked Chief Dradd, but he said he just did what anyone would do.

Still, I must find a way to repay both of you.

My son was inspired to play adventurer by a Hylian who once came here. He wants to be one.

I want to support his dreams, even if they put him in danger. But a parent must be watchful too.

Lord Jabu-Jabu has always graced the sea with his blessings.

We take excellent care of the sea. So why would he go wild now?

Rogma hasn't returned. I wonder if he's simply staying at Chief Kushara's side.

He's quite a talented performer. I'd love to learn some music techniques from him.

Why are we of the sea...and those of the river... both called Zora? We look so different!

And we live so differently! I love thinking about perplexing things like this.

Oh! A good while back, a Hylian in a green tunic visited our village.

He defeated some monsters that were troubling us. Chief Kushara was very grateful.

Have you ever spoken with Lord Jabu-Jabu?

Well, as much as he can speak. I don't know if he understands our words, to be honest.

Still, when I gaze into his perfectly round eyes, I feel such warmth and grace.

All Zora everywhere love music, and so does the great spirit, Lord Jabu-Jabu!

That's why we and the river clan get together to offer our music to Lord Jabu-Jabu!

But right now, he's behaving so wildly that it'd be difficult to stage a performance for him.

Music is amazing by nature and even has the ability to save lives.

I would love to take part in a performance that has that kind of impact someday.

Chief Kushara and Chief Dradd are actually two peas in a pod, aren't they?

Both hold their friends dear. Both are well-loved by their friends.

Hmm, I will strive for musical mastery by playing and composing every day.

It's hard work to keep at it for such a long time. But also fun, with the right frame of mind!

Playing music lets me express my feelings, and so does composing music.

It'd be bliss to spend the rest of my days creating new music with many instruments.

Hello there. Are you out exploring?

If you happen to be looking for our village, simply head south of here.

Look for the island that's topped with a statue of a fish tail.

What were those loud sounds coming from Crossflows Plaza?

Oh, hello. Are you exploring our waters?

Lord Jabu-Jabu... He n-nearly hit me...

He was g-going east...

Lord Jabu-Jabu passed by here on his way toward the river.

I hope he settles down soon and just goes back to his den.

I visited Seesyde Village to shop when this little Hylian asked me to be her swimming coach.

Coach! Now what? I wanna swim faster!

Y-yes, of course! It will take time, and you'll need to build up your strength.

But do remember to eat well, play well, and sleep well!

This little Hylian asked me to be her swimming coach. She's got quite the aptitude for it.

Perhaps enough to outswim a Zora.

Coach! I've gotta get even better!

Her desire to improve is an inspiration. I might run out of things to teach her soon.

Our Sea Zora Village is really close!

Swim south of here a little more, and you're sure to see it.

Oh no... Lord Jabu-Jabu...

Which way? Farewell.

He went toward the island to the east!

Ohhh, it's all so upsetting...

I'm relieved Lord Jabu-Jabu left the sea.

He's a calm spirit by nature. What could have gotten into him lately?

My ancestor made that large sculpture that's shaped like a fish tail.

I'd like to be able to sculpt something as great someday.

My ancestor made that large sculpture that's shaped like a fish tail. What skill and finesse!

I don't think I could carve those kinds of curves if I tried!

Hiya!

I'm on a treasure hunt!

But don't tell my mom I'm here!

I'll never get out...

*sob*

Thanks for saving me.

It's fun going on play adventures. But I didn't know it could be so dangerous!

I know I got trapped in that cave, but I really wanna be an adventurer someday!

Big blunders make you a better explorer. Guess who told me that... An adventurer!

I've got to train if I wanna be an adventurer!

I don't like being on land. So I'm training to be a great sea adventurer!

Chief Kushara and the River Zora chief are having a big tiff. It's going on forever!

The longer they squabble, the harder it'll be for them to make up.

When I hear Chief Kushara play, I kind of drift off...

Her harp music is really beautiful. I'm getting sleepy just thinking about it.

Chief Kushara and Chief Dradd made up?

I've heard Chief Kushara say that Dradd's so brash, it'd stress out a shark.

But everything's OK between them now?

I used to think that having an argument was all bad.

But maybe squabbling with someone like that helps you figure out stuff. Hmm, weird!

I guess Rogma and Chief Kushara have been friends since they were kids!

My mom said they used to spend all their time back then practicing music!

Um, guess what? My friend went off on a play adventure!

Why'd I stay here? I want to play too...

Hey, um. My friend went off on a play adventure and...hasn't come back.

He said he was gonna go to a small island east of our village. I hope he's OK.

Hey, guess what? My friend came back from his play adventure!

Did you help him too? Thank you!

Hey, you know what?! I heard that Dradd is greaaat at playing music!

But who's better? Him or Chief Kushara? I wanna know! I gotta know!

Hey, um, know what? Everyone worked together to clean up Jabul Waters.

I helped a bunch too! So I've gotta be a pretty good kid, right?

It's beyond belief. Lord Jabu-Jabu went wild at the same time that huge rift appeared.

So much at once, Chief... That rampage alone is hard to fathom. He's never done that.

Indeed—that's why we should proceed carefully or we could make things worse.

We must first put a stop to Lord Jabu-Jabu's erratic behavior.

But in time, we'll need to investigate that rift in Lord Jabu-Jabu's den.

How go the preparations for our musical performance, Rogma?

Not quite ready yet, Chief.

Performing here is a superb idea. But are you sure we shouldn't invite the river clan?

We've always played here with them—both clans in unison.

Forget that nonsense. I can finally show Dradd which one of us is truly marvelous!

Now, let's discuss what music to perform...

They're not going to pay any attention to us, are they?

Maybe we should go to the other chief and ask for help.

In protecting this child, Dradd got swallowed up by this rift.

Oh, Dradd...

There's a hole in the rift now?!

Is that an entrance of some sort?

Ohhh... I don't believe there is strength enough in my fins to move any of this rubble.

But, no! I mustn't give up hope!

If this were actually Lord Jabu-Jabu, I would never think of striking him!

But we'll do what we must to this impostor!

I never imagined that Lord Jabu-Jabu could just be...gone.

You're the only one we can rely on now. Please, save him.

I know what it looks like, but the truth is that I've always tried to have good relations with Dradd.

But I seem to find myself off-kilter when I'm actually around him.

I'm learning...that I have much to learn. That's always good to keep in mind, I suppose.

Oh, Zelda! As always, welcome to the village of the Sea Zora.

We are thrilled you are here—the one who saved Jabul Waters!
