how did a race of fish evolve into ducks?
I want to fuck that duck
Since the world was being covered in water it was more beneficial to stop being fish and become birds
>evolved
The gods made them just sprout wings when they flooded the place. That ain't evolving, that'schanging on the spot
>>338279176
That actually makes less sense.
>>338279048
Very carefully.
>>338279048
It only makes sense under the idea that the ocean has no fish to feed off of.
But then, what do the rito eat?
>>338279216
freshwater fish don't do well in saltwater
alternative universes
>>338279289
They're more likely to evolve into salties than to sprout wings.
Magic scales from a dragon with one Hell of a beer gut.
>>338279289
Zoras are fine in salt water though. In Majora's Mask all the Zoras only deal with the ocean.
The gods forced their evolution because they didn't want them to be able to swim down and discover old hyrule.
>>338279048
The same way Giraffes grew longer necks.
>beak
>and human mouth
Kill it
>>338279530
giraffe grew longer necks because there wasn't a steady food supply close to the ground. Going from fish to bird because there is too much water is the exact opposite of how evolution works
>>338279447
MM is an alternate world while the OoT ones are freshwater
>>338279793
Baseless conjecture.
>>338279690
Oh, so I guess it'd be more like how hippos became okapis then
>>338279690
>Zora's food supply is fish
>The Great Sea is devoid of fish to catch
Gee, I wonder then.
>>338279690
They grew longer necks to have glorious giraffe fights anon
>>338279690
The ocean was corrupted and what continued to survive there wasn't edible, so they evolved to fit the situation.
>Earth is 75% Water
>Fish still evolved into birds
Wow what bullshit
>>338279981
Canon. The OoT Zoras live in a lake and river with no connection to any ocean.
The MM Zoras live in a bay.
>>338280410
That doesn't prove that they're separate species, only that they can survive in both, but I was referring to the point about it being an alternate world being baseless conjecture.
>>338279448
What about the fish who paint your maps.
Why leave them alone.
>>338280639
Oh, well that's from Hyrule Historian.
>>338279048
Who mains medly here? she is insane, her air combo rapes everything.
>>338279048
Because gods.
Ain't gotta explain shit.
>>338279048
Tumblr nose
Is hyrule the planet or the kingdom?
>>338282184
kingdom
>>338282458
Ya think the planet is still "Earth"?
I hope you realize that ducks (and all terrestrial vertebrates) LITERALLY evolved from fish.
The ocean in WW is poisonous or something. Aside from monsters, that fish that draws maps is the only first that actually lives in it
>>338282536
>All worlds in videogames are "earth"
Your logic is fucked up, hyrule's world was never suppose to be "earth".
>>338279386
>beer gut
You meanbestgut.
>>338282781
Well, not OUR Earth of course.
But its commitment no in fiction to set stories on planets very similar to ours and still call it Earth.
Like Dragon Ball, Gurren Lagann, Sonic, Chrono Trigger...
>>338280639
MM manual, Hyrule Historia, and developer interviews all call Termina a parallel world.
>>338279048
Maybe all the Sharks and Seahats drove them out of the ocean?
>>338280868
>>338282696
Why the fuck those fish still alive?
Shouldn't they have died off?
>>338280868
Those fish (actually mermen) are implied to have something else going on with them, because of the fact that they know KORL and have some kind of debt to him.
>>338283258
What the hell is a KORL
>>338279048
How did an andorran copper mining forum turn into this?
shit happens man
>>338283664
What?
The goddesses intervened with their evolution and forced them to become birds so they wouldn't find hyrule castle.
>>338279048
>>338279216
>>338279690
>>338280387
Has everyone forgotten that The Great Sea is completely devoid of fish?
The Zora's wouldn't be able to survive in a lifeless ocean, so they were given wings and became the Rito.
They use they're new powers of flight to travel from island to island foraging for food and hunt all of the other air born creatures. Giving them a sort of hunter gatherer culture.
Okay? There, now everyone shut up!
>>338285284
also this>>338285230
makes a lot of sense
>>338283463
talk boat
>>338279048
The sacred tri beak.
>>338279690
It wasn't a natural evolution. It was all in part of the Goddesses
>Okay we need to flood hyrule
>but we don't' want anyone to know it's there so Zoras, I'm forcing you to become Rito
the end
>>338279048
Don't think about it
because muhpeopledorf pissed off the gods to flood away the evil in hyrule
Medli is cute! CUTE!SFM when?
>>338285284
>Devoid of fish
Huh? there are fishes that give you maps and shit
>>338288017
i want to learn how to model
>>338288214
There's like 10 of them
>>338288214
To be fair, he's (or they are) a fishman.
