'''River Zoras''', or '''Zola'''{{Ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/z.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Zola is the name given to any female Zora who turns against Hylians and chooses to live a life of violence. They normally hide underwater, then spit fireballs at anyone who walks by.}} for the females, are one of the two types of [[Zora]]s, being the wild and less civilized of the two. While some River Zora are characters who can be interacted with, River Zoras typically serve as an enemy type in multiple titles.

Zola, as they are known in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', can be found mostly on the eastern side of the Overworld. Found only in the lakes and oceans of [[Hyrule]], they are almost impossible to defeat early in the game, and are better off avoided. If a Zola does happen to come near the edge of the land they can be defeated by two hits with the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|original Sword]]. Their health will reset every time they go under water, so the two hits must be consecutive. They will shoot a laser beam from the water that will take half a heart of damage. Unlike most enemies in the game there is only one variation of Zola.

River Zoras are found in the rivers throughout the game and peek their heads above the surface and shoot fireballs at Link. If they are close enough to the surface, Link can slash them with his sword, otherwise he can shoot a seed or use the Boomerang to defeat them. Most of the time it is better to avoid trying to defeat a River Zora as it can be tedious to do so.

The River Zoras make another appearance in the same locations (except the Zora's Lake area which was mostly removed) as those in ''A Link to the Past''. Their attacks are the same as in prior games, shooting fireballs at Link. These attacks are blockable by both the [[Shield]] and the [[Hylian Shield]]. Many of Link's items are now effective on the River Zora, including the [[Bow]] and [[Fire Rod]], though it can be difficult for some of these items to hit.
