Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Zora from A Link to the Past is stated to be the Zora King. Whether or not he is truly the King Zora is unknown. Also, it is unknown if River Zoras and Sea Zoras have different government systems.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
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 dugeons 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 belived that Toto from Majora's Mask is his Termainian counterpart.

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 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 in there.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
There is a Queen of the Zora, named Queen Rutela, who was executed during the events of Zant's Invasion of Hyrule. Her grave is located behind Kakariko Graveyard, where the treasured Zora Armor is being kept. It is not known if the King of the Zora spoken of in this game is the same as the one in Ocarina of Time, but it is likely one of his descendants, possibly a son or grandson of the King Zora of Ocarina of Time.
