Was thinking about the Zorans recently and their presence in each game. I remembered that in Wind Waker, the Zorans evolve into the Rito. The more I thought about this, the less sense it made. Yes, the Rito are well adapted to the Great Sea and the Islands, but the Zorans, from where they were living in Zora's domain/Lake Hylia, would have a much better time in the Great Sea because it's ALL water now. Why would the Zorans of all races need to evolve into the Rito? My only guess is they can't thrive in Salt Water which is what I'm assuming the great sea is?
