It was just bad luck for Youji that the 'fish thing' was 'ugly' because that was really Link's only option for getting back across the river without drawing attention to himself from the people on the other bank.

He landed securely enough on the opposite bank and waited a few moments to make sure he hadn't been seen. No shouts or sounds of the odd weapons could be heard. So carefully... ever so carefully, he edged over to the bank and slipped the Zora mask on.

The 'cute' deku form slipped away and fell to the ground. He picked the mask up automatically and then dived back in the river.

It took him a few times swimming up and down in the dark, rain disturbed water before he finally spotted the trio once more. In silence, his body glided under the surface toward them.
