Zoran Weapons
I know these arent much to look at, but they were still fun to design and imagine how they would be used. Mostly they are made of polished fish bone and sheet steel, and are very light, but highly durable. They are for underwater and land use alike.

Spear- The most widely used among the Zora, the spear is useful inside and outside the water. The quick jap from a weapon with such little surface area would be a deadly attack in the water.

Knife- Great for close courters combat, a knife would be equally useful inside and outside of the water. With quick, deadly slices, a knife would be worn by any zora warrior.

Sword- Many for land battles, its thin blade cant take to much abuse, but it would be handled like a samurai katana with quick, powerful slices and fast foot and waist work.

Bow and Arrow- For land and water battle this specially designed weapon is made with a tightened string, with so much resistance that it could be used like a average bow in the water, shooting into it or out of it and even through it. Its land battle advantage is that it could fire arrows at such a distance that zoran archers are some of the most feared adversaries in Hyrule.

Dart Gun- Used only for land based attacks, a dart gun is for more stealthy attacks, and its poision tiped fish bone darts can take down a being in less then a second.

Shield- Equally useful in land and water battles, the shield offers some of the only resistance a zora has. Zoras rely more on skilll then defense, so a shield would be used by gaurds, mostly along side spears rather then the two handed sword. Its in the form of a sea shell, just to give it that ocean type feel.

i've always seen the zoras as kind of the elve's of hyrule, if you know what i mean. compare them to, say, the elves in lord of the rings: slender, elegant, age-less creatures. this is also reflected in these weapon designs you've done. nice work

a bow wouldn't work much at all underwater, the physics are completely different. the type that you could hope to make work would be the recurved bow, so as to neutralize the water resistance on the bow itself. on the other hand, a dart gun would be more effective in the water than on land, if my assumptions about zoran physiology are correct. otherwise your designs seem sound, and egonomic/aethetically correct for the zora

The bow could work, I guess I just didnt explain it enough. If you had hollowed out arrows, with small holes at the top and base, They could fill with water, and be the same weight and have the same pressure as the water outside of the arrow. Also the cord would be wrapped so tightly that the power it realeses arrows overcomes the resistance on the surface area of the wedged arrow head. Ive wondered what the string could be made out of, and I think that maybe tightly wound animal tendons from legs would be ideal for it. Im not sure about the dark gun underwater, because Im not sure how fast and strong a zora can blow air through its mouth to make it go very far in the water. Because of there gill system, it doesnt seem very logical. Just some speculation... what do you think?

Nice job! *points up* you people write a lot. Makes sense and all, I'm going to just say what you all mean. IT LOOKS GREAT! X3

You think about this crap too hard I think... Kinda like me, I have a problem with that too. Cool stuff though, designing weapons is a blast.
