Princess Ruto

Princess Ruto is the daughter of King Zora and resides at Zora's Domain born after the Hyrule Civil War. As a kid, she seems to be portrayed as a spoiled brat and even a tomboy at times.

She went missing for a time after she did her usual chore on feeding the Zoras' patron deity, Jabu-Jabu. Since then, she had been swallowed and trapped inside, along with her mother's possession, the Spiritual Stone of Water, also known as the Zora's Sapphire. Link found a Letter in a Bottle at Lake Hylia, describing her predicament, to which she denied, worrying her father more. When Link came in to save her, she never appreciated it, and she bragged on being inside Jabu-Jabu since she was little. She said that Jabu-Jabu had been green around the gills; no doubt because of Ganondorf demanding the whereabouts of the third Stone.

Instead of helping Link and Navi, she instead functioned to be carried by him, but also used as someone to weigh down the tricky switches located throughout the belly. She was ecstatic to find the Sapphire and forced Link to toss her onto the platform, which was later inhabited by Bigocto. After defeating it, she vanished and was never seen again until he destroyed the culprit, Barinade. She was still grouchy and impatient as soon as they warped out, then she proposed to Link to be his wife since the Zora's Sapphire was known as the Zora Engagement Ring.

Regardless, she brought it up to him seven years later at Lake Hylia's Water Temple. She was recently thawed by Sheik soon after Zora's Domain was frozen by Ganondorf and Morpha. She left Link in his own devices once more, until she awakened as the Sage of Water. She knew that Link was desperate on searching for Zelda which was understandable, and turned back on her promise on marrying him. Instead she awaits to assist Link to seal away Ganondorf, portraying herself as a more mature Zora this time around.
