King Zora is the ruler of Zora's Domain in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, released by Nintendo in 1998 for the Nintendo 64. As the father of Princess Ruto, he plays a key role in Link's quest through the game's water temple storyline, and his domain remains one of the most remembered locations from that era of Zelda. Clips of the character have circulated among fans for years through gameplay videos, edits and soundboards, keeping the king's presence alive long after players first met him in Zora's Domain.
