The great sea is often described as a fishless sea (yes there are a few fish like the ones that make maps and giant squids apparently) . Also Zora have always been depicted in shallow waters. And the bottom of the great sea is nothing but a giant magical barrier. So they have no food, no shelter.
Above said they are fresh water, but they doesn't seam to be the case if you consider majora's mask zora lived in the ocean.
I think it simply stems from the fact there is little to no food nor shelter, they were better off on land. And they were already a magically inclined race, so the evolution wouldn't be beyond them, and stated they don't grow wings unless they undergo a ritual, so they aren't entirely natural beings either.
Lastly i think it was an excuse to make a bird people, but still connect it back. They tried in wind waker too hard to make connections.
edit:
and since even counting oracle of ages, they were in the ocean, but it was still fairly shallow water, Hard to really make a distinction on game boy graphics, but there was alot of rocks / small islands near by.
Its quite possible that salt water or fresh water doesn't matter to the zora
