Zora's Domain

[Mysterious F.]

After you beet the Water Temple, it's still frozen. In the end credits, though, it isn't. What caused it to stay frozen? I put this here because it's about therories.

[MagmarFire]

It was most likely just an intentional programming action. It's just me, but I don't think it had anything to do with the curse. After all, it was lifted.

[Mysterious F.]

I mean discuss why the gamers forgot it. I think they just didn't do it. They were alot more important things to do.

[Nabooru]

at the end they were just showing Zoras domain at its best.

Zora's Domain was still frozen because originally Nintendo had planned to add an Ice Temple. However, that Temple was cut out before release and became the Ice Cavern.

According to Sheik, when the evil in the water temple is destroyed the ice will melt, but she says that it will melt in time. So the ice could take any amount of time to melt. (I don't believe Sheik gives a specific length of time, but it has been a long time)

At the end of the game Link becomes a child again. Maybe it just goes back to its original state.

[Hi no Seijin]

The curse may not be lifted fully until Ganon is lifted.

[Mysterious F.]

Ganon mainly consentrated on the curses in Temples and Hyrule Market/ Castle area.

[Anju]

It does take a loooooooooonggggggggg time for ice to melt.

[Davros]

Unless you just destroy Zora's domain and exterminate the Zora's. I'm sure the ice would be gone then...

[Anju]

I thought Zoras had to live in the ocean with aaaalllll the fishes. ;D

[Hi no Seijin]

Fishes live in fresh water too, so Zoras can live there also.

Sheik only did save Ruto, right?  He (or she, however you want to look at it) didn't save the other Zoras?

Edit:  To answer my question, yes, Sheik did only save Ruto.  He also said that the ice will never melt unless the curse was lifted, not the ice will be gone instantaneously once the curse is lifted.  So as soon as Link lifted the curse, the ice started to melt, but as said above, it's going to take a long time to melt.

[Anju]

Still,Sheik saved Ruto so she got captured by BongoBongo. ::)The other zoras need to come up for air!

[Hi no Seijin]

Zoras are fish; they don't necessarily need air to survive.  And Impa was captured by Bongo Bongo.  Ruto was captured by Morpha.  Actually, we don't really have proof that Ruto was captured other than the fact that when you surface from following her, she's nowhere to be seen.

And not all of the Zoras were under the water.  There's the Zora King and and Zora in the shop.
