Page "Universe of The Legend of Zelda" Paragraph 2

Most Zoras do not wear clothing, and they are generally covered in silver scales, which give them a pale blue sheen from a distance.

Where humans sometimes have long hair, average Zoras have rear-hanging caudal extensions that resemble tails.

These tails undulate periodically, which gives a Zora's head the unique semblance of a fish.

They are sometimes depicted as having webbed feet ( except for Queen Rutela from Twilight Princess who appears to have two flat mermaid-like fins that fall down like a skirt ) and hands.

They lack ears in the traditional sense, but do have pronounced noses and gills on their abdomen.

Their fins can be used to fight by extending out to serve as sharp-edged weapons.

Zoras lay eggs to reproduce.

Zora eggs need to be kept in cold, clean water to develop healthily, and every egg from the same clutch must be kept together for them to hatch.

Newborn Zoras are tadpole-like with a circular body and a long, skinny tail ending in a fluke.
