The three big ones that first come to mind are:

1) Lungs - Obviously you would need to breath air in some manner before you could venture out of the water

2) Self-moisturizing skin - Your skin would dry and crack without access to water unless it had natural oils that moisturized it.

3) Structural support - Your body would collapse under the weight of gravity if it did not have a skeleton that could provide you with structural support and a means for locomotion. Even fish with rudimentary lungs have bony forelimbs that they use to propel themselves around on land.
