New Zora->Rito Evolution Theory
I think I may have caught on to something here. So it's common knowledge, by now, that the Rito only begin to grow their bird-like features after they receive a scale from their "Great sky spirit Valoo" right? Well what if the same were true about the Zoras? They, much like the Rito, also had what they considered to be a "great spirit"- "Lord JabuJabu." My theory is that the Zora and Rito ARE, in fact, the very same race, and that their adaptation is simply controlled by the scales they use.

This would also imply the change from Zora to Rito could simply have been due to the death of "Lord JabuJabu" and the adoption of "Valoo".(a very practical scenario)

Another reason I reached this hypothesis was the unexplained silver and golden scale items from OoT. The thought that a mere fish scale could somehow give you the ability to say underwater for longer periods of time always used to pick at the back of my brain. However, if the scale is from JabuJabu and has the ability to genetically alter the holder, this begins to make sense.(Better yet, let's just say it's magical. XP) I know some of you are probably thinking: "So then, why doesn't Link turn into a Zora?" Well, I think both age and exposure probably explain that. For instance, the Rito kind-of seem more human than the Zora, but we already know that the Rito don't get their scales until at least age 10 or so right? So what if they got them at an even earlier age? Isn't it likely then, that they would probably be less human like the Zoras? The same would, therefore, be true about Link. If you still don't like that theory, there is also the possibility that the Zora and Rito could simply be extra sensitive to the scales as a race.

Please let me know what your thoughts are on this theory.
