Oh yes, the river zora... Those things appear to be a totally different species, sharing little more than the same name...
Come to think of it, the zora of OOT are fresh water, but in MM they are salt water, then in Oracles they are salt water and refer to the evil zora as the river sora, suggesting they are fresh water creatures... I dunno... Anyway, river zora aren't even in OOT are they? Hmm, maybe the evil zora were created by Ganon? You know, some twisted form of the zora Ganon made?
And also, one of them sells you flippers...
Zelda 1... Well according to this instruction booklet with the detailed (and ugly as sin) hand drawn image of one...
Zola (yes, an L, possibly a translation issue) - Half-fish, half-woman who lives in the water. When she sticks her head out of the water she lets out a ball that Link's little shield can't hold back.
So anyway, there ya go, Zor/la have always been a mainstay as an ENEMY in the series, but OOT was the first time they actually became things you could interact with (aside from buying flippers), and they were VERY different anyway. Oh well... Anyway, are those random falling rocks what gorons used to be? :D

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
