This will generally be one of my shorter theory threads but.....
With Wind Waker HD on the horizon I though it would be nice to touch on one of the many tribes that had to adapt to the great flood that happened causing the events of Wind Waker!
But one of the strangest adaptations was the Zora tribe! We all know the Zoras to be the famous sacred water tribe, they ussally guard anything to do with god Nayru and any version of the "water temple". So if you don't know already the Zora tribe are know where to be seen in TWW in fact it is well known that they are in fact the bird tribe called the Rito! Now am not actually completely certain if this has been confirmed but this is what i am working off.
Now this seems odd because you would think with a great flood Zoras would be in their element right? Well No it seems that they had to adapt! I actually do have a couple of reasons why I think this adaptation took place...
For one with the great flood happening this seemingly destroyed any connections between province's as now they were separated by a huge amount of water. This would make communication between people and tribes lost, therfore4 they needed a tribe who could safely and efficiently pass messages between islands. Now we know the Rito tribe are the lets postal service of Hyrule....But why was it the Zora tribe that had to take up this job?
Well I have a second reason....If we look at the apperances of the Zora tribe throughout the Zelda series they seem to occupy either a lake, bay, river ect. Now the Great Sea is an ocean and if we take a quick look at some sea animals we know that a lot of sea creatures would not be able to survive in rivers and vice versa due to many factors such as, water salinity, temperature, food Ect. There are many differences between a small area of water such as a lake and an ocean! So it could be that the Zora's may have had to relay on a careful balance of water temperature, salinity ect. Therfore since all the rivers, lakes were now flooded with sea water they would have had to adapt to survive.
I know my 2nd reason is maybe thinking a bit to realistically but it certainly could be a factor and it is one of the only logical reasons of why the Zora tribe essentially becmae the Rito tribe! Tell me guys what you think, why did the adaptation take place?, was it necessary? And what do you think of my theory/explanation on why I though it happened?
