Spoiler Jabu-Jabu Theory and Ocena King Theory

[hylianbeast]

Hasn't anyone noticed how in oot when you're an adult you can't find Jabu-Jabu anywhere?
I believe that Jabu-Jabu left Hyrule b/c of gannondorf, and created the land we see in PH. He then took the form of Oshus and became the Ocean King. Meanwhile, Jabun and the Windfish are either his desendents, or they're his brothers.

i think jabun is jabu jabu but the wind fish was only a dream he couldnt be a decendant or brother of jabu jabu

No, the Wind Fish is real. The events on Koholint Island were a dream.

The Wind Fish wasn't a dream. His dream was an entire world. At the end of Link's Awakening, he is clearly seen flying around.

Doesn't it make more sense for the Windfish to be the Ocean King? There are a few holes but still.

Yeah, Jabu-Jabu supposedly changed his name to Jabun and fled to Greatfish Isle to hide from Ganondorf.

The theory I had come up with a while ago was that he fled downstream to Lake Hylia (the river must have been larger than depicted in-game). Then when the land was flooded and new mountains/islands were created, Greatfish Isle was created for Jabu-Jabu/Jabun directly over or slightly north of the lake, where we find him in WW, and the few Zora that followed him (the rest climbed Death Mountain and became human during the flood, found/received Valoo, etc).
I know that Oshus isn't Jabun, and since I believe that Jabun is Jabu-Jabu, I don't think Oshus is Jabu-Jabu. I also don't think they're related (certainly not separate generations), but they could be the same type of creature. Same goes for the Wind Fish.
