Ruto

RUTO

Having freed the Gorons’ food source and received the ruby from Darunia, Link then travels to Zora’s Domain under the nearby waterfall, an idyllic watery paradise inhabited by friendly blue fish-people. Link heads to talk to the Zoras’ king only to learn that his daughter has been swallowed by the giant fish they worship as a God.

This daughter is Princess Ruto, one of the most prominent members of the Zora race and soon-to-be sage of the water temple. Much like Darunia, this puts her in a good place to represent the Zoras as a whole, if it weren’t for Hyrule Warriors giving her a more distinct moveset of her own.

As a fighter, Ruto, like most of her species, will be quick and agile, practically swimming around the stage with lithe movements. Her moveset will pull from the Zora race in general as well as her own moveset from Hyrule Warriors.

Likelihood rating: Strong
