In {{OoT}}, King Zora sits on his throne at the helm of [[Zora's Domain]], guarding passage to the great [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]], the patron deity of the Zoras.<ref>{{Cite|Zora's Fountain is just beyond King Zora's throne. That is where Lord Jabu-Jabu swims. But... unless you have King Zora's permission, you can't go to Zora's Fountain.|Zora|OoT}}</ref> Only when Link presents him with a letter from his missing daughter, [[Princess Ruto]], who claims to be inside Lord Jabu Jabu, does he grant the young hero passage to [[Zora's Fountain|Lord Jabu Jabu's lair]].<ref>{{Cite|Ho, this letter! It's from Princess Ruto!! Hmmm...Let's see... She's inside Lord Jabu-Jabu? That's not possible! Our guardian god, Lord Jabu-Jabu, would never eat my dear Princess Ruto! But since that stranger, Ganondorf, came here, Lord Jabu-Jabu has been a little green around the gills... The evidence seems clear. Of course, you'll go find Ruto. You can pass through here to the altar of Lord Jabu-Jabu. I'll keep this letter. You keep the bottle it was in. Take it respectfully! Please find my dear Princess Ruto immediately... Zora!|King Zora|OoT}}</ref> When Adult Link ventures to Zora's Domain, he finds King Zora and the rest of the region frozen solid: a curse placed on the region that stems from [[Morpha]]'s control of the [[Water Temple]], the source of their water. Freeing King Zora from the ice after completing the [[Ice Cavern]] will grant Link a [[Zora Tunic]] as a gift.<ref>{{Cite|Oh--I've come back to life! Was it you who saved me? Don't be nervous! It looks like you have a hard time breathing underwater. As an expression of my gratitude, I grant you this tunic.

Incidentally, it appears that, according to in-game dialog, King Zora and [[Biggoron]] are good friends and have known each other for a long time.<ref name="Biggoron">{{Cite|Talk about a nostalgia trip! That reminds me of my childhood friend, Biggoron!|King Zora|OoT}}</ref> During the ending sequence of ''Ocarina of Time'', King Zora is shown to be one of the few characters not celebrating the victory over [[Ganon]], instead sitting next to a sorrowful [[Mido]], both depressed at the disappearance of Ruto and [[Saria]]. However, as the lights of the sages fly above, their heads raise skywards in recognition as the Sages soar towards [[Death Mountain]].

{{HH}} states this King Zora's name as Zora De Bon XVI.<ref>{{cite book|quote= The king Link meets in this era is known as Zora De Bon XVI. His daughter is Princess Ruto.|book= [[Hyrule Historia]]|publisher= Dark Horse Books|page= 88}}</ref>

King Zora also appears in {{OoA}} in death at the "present time," due to an overwhelming amount of sea pollution. To save him, Link must travel to the past and give him a life [[Potion]]. After this, he will grant Link permission to enter Jabu-Jabu if the young hero cleanses the seas, handing over the [[Library Key]] as well.

===''Twilight Princess''===

The King Zora in {{TP}} is long dead. He was [[Queen Rutela]]'s husband and the creator of the [[Zora Armor]].<ref name=armor>{{Cite|During his lifetime, my husband created garments specifically for the chosen hero, garments that house the abilities of the Zora.|Queen Rutela|TP}}</ref> His grave is located in the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]] and is where Link is given the Zora Armor by the ghost of Queen Rutela.

−

It is thought by some fans this is the same King Zora as in ''Ocarina of Time'', due to a quote from an interviewer talking to the developers.<ref name=Quote1>[http://www.thehylia.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1173582355&archive=&start_from=&ucat=19& Nintendo Dream: Eiji Aonuma Interview 1]: ''"There’s a reference to King Zora (the king of the Zora race in Ocarina of Time; his official name is Do Bon, the third), and there are some pictures of the man from the fishing pond (the owner of a fishing business near Lake Hylia in Ocarina of Time)."''</ref> Queen Rutela also states how her husband created "garments specifically for the chosen hero" that would allow him to breathe underwater, hinting at the [[Zora Tunic]] in ''Ocarina of Time''.<ref name=armor/> However, there is no indication that King Zora of ''Ocarina of Time'' actually crafted these tunics, and only offers his as a gift while they can be bought in the [[Zora Shop]].
