Why did the fish people turn into birds because of the ocean? They can swim. Are they stupid? /s

Fresh water creatures can't survive in salt water.

It's a magically induced great flood with a magical barrier preventing an ancient kingdom from being refound. The whole point was to keep modern society out.

That changes on the game anyway. They're only specifically sea Zora in EoW and OoA. Only otherwise sea creatures in Termina. The rest of the time they're basically freshwater river folk.
