Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Edit
The Zora who gives Link a pair of Flippers in A Link to the Past is stated to be the Zora King in BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets. Whether or not he is truly the King Zora is unknown as he is never referred to such in A Link to the Past. It is also unknown if River Zoras and Sea Zoras have different government systems.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Edit
King Zora XVI is the lord of Zora's Domain and the father of Princess Ruto. Speaking to him with a certain item in a bottle is necessary to gain access to two dungeons in the game. To get Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly, Link must show him a message written by Princess Ruto. To get into the Water Temple as Adult Link without drowning, Link must thaw King Zora from a prison of Red Ice using Blue Fire, after which King Zora will reward him with the Zora Tunic (this can be avoided by buying the item for a very expensive price at the shop in Zora's Domain). It is believed that Toto from Majora's Mask is his Terminan counterpart.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Edit
King Zora, ruler of the seas, is on his deathbed after Veran has managed to turn the Fairy Queen into a monster and polluted the water. However, Link gives him a Magic Potion to heal him and eventually restores the water. King Zora gives him permission to enter Jabu-Jabu's Belly and retrieve the Essences of Time located there.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Edit
In this game, the Zora have a Queen, named Queen Rutela, who was executed during the events of Zant's invasion of Hyrule. She was married to the King of the Zora, who died before the events of the game. His grave is located behind Kakariko Graveyard, where the treasured Zora Armor is being kept. It is not known if the King of the Zora of whom is spoken in this game is the same as the one in Ocarina of Time, but it is likely one of his descendants, possibly his son or grandson. After Prince Ralis, son of the King of the Zora and Queen Rutela, returns to Zora's Domain from Kakariko Village, he assumes the position of ruler of the Zora.
