Why Are Some Zora Green in Breath of the Wild?
The Zora in Zelda have been super interesting! They've come in a bunch of colors - and fans have this theory about why some of those green Zora are so unique!
So What Makes Those Green Zora Green?
Okay, get ready because things get wild when it comes to the Green Zora in Zelda! You might have heard those rumors about Zora going green because they turned nasty towards the Hylians - remember that whole big disaster - The Calamity?! It’s supposed to be from the Hyrule Encyclopedia! You’d think this was a major part of the Zora’s history!
Where'd This Theory Come From?
- One Zelda fan thought about this whole Green Zora Theory! This Redditor shared how they believe that the green color might actually be because of bad feelings that some of those Zora, like Muzu (the Zora elder in BOTW), have towards Hylians.
- That’s because they feel like the Hylians, maybe even Link, are partly to blame for all that Calamity business. But here’s the deal - the fan didn't quite get things right!
Is There Evidence for this Theory?
- The Hyrule Encyclopedia has some details about the Zora’s color changing to green after that big calamity - A Link to the Past. You also find that their anger against the Hylians grows super strong, turning them into something more than just an aquatic race!
- And now with Tears of the Kingdom? It looks like those green Zora are no longer bad. Remember that amazing Zora, Yona? Totally a green Zora and is as kind and gentle as a lamb! Maybe things have changed?
- And we’re not alone - other Zelda fans are talking about how maybe that color is all about those Zora's habitats. They point out that the water's got a ton of influence on how those Zora evolve! That Zora, Yona - might have come from somewhere that's completely different from Hyrule.
- Another green Zora with a totally weird headshape, Muzu, might have been a stranger to Hyrule too!
- Another super cool thing that is totally relevant is how those Zora are different from the Zora History. It shows they have totally changed since those older days!
This whole Theory is so fascinating - you gotta give those Zelda BOTW Green Zora a second look! They are more complex than just bad guys in those games. That Zora history might have a lot of impact on what's happening now in The Legend of Zelda series.
The Color-changing stuff in the Hyrule Encyclopedia could have tons of meaning! This really gets those Zelda fans thinking about the Zora Evolution! The Zelda series loves to throw in little clues about how those Zora have changed throughout Hyrule history!
