Silver ScaleWhat they say
According to the "Legend of Zora," the act of offering a fish to Lord Jabu-Jabu will make you happy.
Oh, that's not good.
Everybody who comes around here should see Lord Jabu-Jabu at least once!
Zora's Fountain is just beyond King Zora's throne. That is where Lord Jabu-Jabu swims. But...
unless you have King Zora's permission, you can't go to Zora's Fountain.

OKAY!
Pick up all the Rupees I throw from here. You have only a limited amount of time!
When you pick them all up, come back here! I'll give you something very nice!
What a graceful dive! Now, please take this!
This is a "scale" of our kind. With this, you can dive much deeper under the water.
Go over the falls for a shortcut.
Take as much as you want for 20 Rupees. Want to play?

Hey! Congratulations!!
Too bad!
Practice hard and come back!
Zora's Domain
Oh, hi Link! You're all Princess Ruto will talk about lately!
We are good at diving! How about you?
If you want to be a master diver, try the diving game at the top of the waterfall! Have you tried it already?
Oh, it's you, Link! Thanks to you, Lord Jabu-Jabu is back to normal!
We Zoras all serve the great King Zora.
Have you seen Lord Jabu-Jabu?
Yes
No
If you find any clues to Princess Ruto's whereabouts, will you show them to King Zora?
We haven't found Princess Ruto even though some of us have searched as far as Lake Hylia....
All of the water in Hyrule flows from Zora's Fountain.
That water flows through Zora's River, which eventually reaches Lake Hylia to the south.
Lake Hylia
I am a Zora. Have you seen a pretty Zora girl around here?
I am a Zora. Have you seen anything strange in the lake? The river carries many things into this lake!
Zora Shop
I want to buy a fish, but they are a little too expensive...
I have no choice but to catch one of the fishes that's swimming around out there.
