Rito

RITO

Another individual Link meets upon his rescue of Tetra is a helpful postman, who appears to be part bird.

This postman is a Rito, a new race in this new oceanic Hyrule, descended from the ancient Zoras. The Ritos live on Dragon Roost Island, and would reappear in the Breath of the Wild continuity.

As fighters, the Ritos will have a strong aerial gameplay style with moves pulling from all of their appearances and the abilities of their sage, Medli.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.

RITO

3.       Darbus

4.       Ralis

5.       Gulley

6.       Osfala

7.       Irene

8.       Rosso

9.       Queen Oren

10.   Paya

11.   Rune

12.   Kanan

13.   Talon

19.   Zora

20.   Rito

Next up are the Ritos, bird people first appearing in Wind Waker as, somehow, the descendants of the Zora people, similar to the Kokiri and Koroks, except that the Ritos' existence didn't apparently erase the Zoras from ever appearing in a Zelda game ever again the way the Koroks' existence seems to have done. The two races have since become contemporaries in the Breath of the Wild continuity.

Here is their moveset:

Standard B: Reflection

Same as Medli's, but not as strong.

Side B: Grappling Hook

Let's actually keep this one around, most being proficient with it.

Up B: Updraft

A general flight ability.

Down B: Medli's Song

It won't have quite as strong effect as Medli's herself.

Final Smash: Valoo

I think I can be okay with this. Either that, or a whole flock of them will descend upon the stage firing arrows.

Entrance: They will swoop in and land on the stage.

Taunts: Up, they will fly up and spin for a second. Side, they will dig into a bag and pull out a couple letters. Down, they will sing a tune for a second.

Kirby Hat: Feathers and beaks, Falco-style.

Kart: Flying over the track.

Special Move: They will be able to take off and fly for a short while.

Spirit Battle: A horde battle on Dragon Roost Island.

Victory Screen: They will all fly around each other excitedly.

Losing Screen: How have all three of these races been frozen over at one point or another? I can't do that one again. Um, maybe Valoo's volcano erupts.

Color Swaps: Every notably distinct Rito model besides the noted players.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Korok hides in plain sight!
