Jabu Jabu

[zeldafreak]

Has anyone ever wondered what was wrong with Jabu Jabu in Oot?
Why does it have doors, switches, floating platforms, deku salesmen, crates, treasure chests,... need I say more?
And how come Jabu Jabu is bigger in the inside than the outside?
I can swim under Jabu Jabu in 10 seconds, but inside, he's obviously bigger.

He's obviously swallowed lots of things. A few of those things being creatures. Also, to be literal, it's a dungeon, so it needs to have those things in it. As for the size issue... It's Nintendo 64, what more can you expect?

[Axle the Beast]

It's called the digestive tract. It's standard issue.

But seriously, no one knows. This crap happens all the time in video games. Don't ask questions; the answers are disturbing.

I like to think it leads into a portal to some different realm, or maybe we all just get microscopic like in minish cap. Who the hell knows.

[Amelie]

Well I think the switches and things were because it was a dungeon so it had to had them. And the reason for him being bigger inside.. well.. again.. its a game. I dont think the N64 could handle a big big Jabu Jabu very well.

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

Everyone hates this answer but...... it's just a game.

There's really no explaination for it. If I had to take a wild guess, maybe Barinade was responsible for the enemies?

[Karashimu]

King Zora says that ever since Ganondorf went to Zora's Domain for the Spiritual Stone Jabu Jabu has been "green around the gills" so I always assumed that Ganondorf made him sick because they wouldn't hand over the stone. So, part of the virus was obviously the enemies; Barinade being the main source of said virus, per say, giving birth to all the creatures and enemies. Also, if you look around in the Jabu Jabu's mouth, you'll see a cow, proving it could possibly have been something he swallowed.

As for the size of his inside and the switches, Ver-go-a-go-go said it best: it's a game.

Jabu Jabu. Bigger on the inside. What do you expect? ITS A ZELDA GAME.
And as ofr where he went....that, I think, is the real mystery.

jabu jabu was cursed by Ganondorf making him all angry and wierd on the inside but then you save him which I wish we could reenter the belly then I'd see if everything is gone

[blackmoon]

1) It's a Zelda game, everything is not scaled. I think Jabu-Jabu was supposed to be bigger in the game, but if it was, then Zora's Domain would have to be huge!

And you can reenter Jabu-Jabu's belly and the monsters are still there. However, I think it's more canonical to say that they were the spawn of Barinade - and there's just a few left over once you kill Barinade.

[UsayEldaZay]

i think jabu jabu gets killed by ganon in the 7 year period while link is in the temple of time

[bellum]

for the last time Jabu Jabu was cursed by Ganondorf and then he filed with dorrs and such
