Description
Overworld Enemy #4: Zola"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."
-The Legend of Zelda Manual
The Zola were once aquatic-dwelling women that, due to their lust for material wealth and power, were transformed into monsters by the use of dark magic. They inhabit Hyrule's many lakes, ponds and waterways, surfacing and consequently ambushing those that dare to come near. Mainly attacking with poisonous and acidic spit that can blind its adversaries, Zola are very territorial, hostile and nimble. As they are unable to venture onto land, one must kill a Zola by use of projectile weapons or in close combat if one is brave enough to traverse into the amphibious demonesses watery abode.
Note: Like the Molblin/Moblin, I opted to use the name 'Zola' from the game's original manual. I'm sure it is a localization/translation error, as the 'Zora' became a series regular.

I don't know, I like the game more for the characters than the lore...

Yup, that was the intention! The manual described them as 'Half woman Half fish' so I went with that idea.

So when they made Undertale, they were inspired by her.

Your welcome! Still have my GameCube OoT and just got the 3DS version which looks pretty amazing though i can't stand the 3D feature heh. Gives me a bad headache. A Link Between Worlds is fun with 3D on though!
