| − | The '''Zuna''' (ズナ ''Zuna'') tribe inhabits the [[Desert of Doubt]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. Little is known about them aside from that they are descendants of the ones who built the [[Pyramid]] housing the [[trident]] that eventually made [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] King of Darkness. |

So yeah, if it were any other game, I wouldn't see the point of this article either, but some trees in ''Zelda'' contain items, and others can be cut down, so I guess I would say trees deserve their own article just as much as [[sign]]s do.

||
| − | Having only had one short appearance in a 2D game, little can be said about the Zunas' physiology. From the side, it looks like their heads are supposed to be rather thin, with no signs of a nose. Since the graphics don't provide much detail, this may not be an accurate observation. This means that currently, their sole distinct feature is their vibrant green skin, which is pale green at their faces. |

||
| − | ===Culture=== |
||
| − | Their garbs are reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Middle East|Middle Eastern]] or [[Wikipedia:India|Indian]] culture, featuring turbans and flowing robes. The Zuna reside in huts topped in giant flowers, which, along with the high amount of plants/seeds in their well-watered village, might suggest affiliation to the plant life. |

| − | Due to living deep in the desert, the Zuna have little contact with outsiders. Moreso, despite sharing their habitat with the [[Gerudo]], who decide who enters the Desert of Doubt and who consider the [[Pyramid]] sacred, they do not seem to have any noteworthy bond to them.
