A young Rito's feathers molt once per year, and the feathers have formed a thriving industry for the Rito who use them to craft clothes for Hylians or beds. Known for their musical abilities, the Rito pass down legends in the form of songs. The Zoras evolved over the span of a century into the Rito after the events of the Great Flood because of the unnatural water created by the gods, which was uninhabitable to Zora.

Due to their wings enabling them to fly over the Great Sea with ease, they mainly work as post carriers, and as such their Aerie is mainly used as a Post Office. Their location is significantly important to their way of life; it is where Valoo the Sky Spirit roosts atop the Dragon Roost Cavern peak. When a Rito reaches adulthood, they must receive their wings by traveling to Valoo to receive a scale. A Rito is appointed among the tribe to serve as Valoo's attendant. As Valoo can only speak in ancient Hylian , his attendant is tasked with translating his words.

Golden Feathers are very popular among Rito women. It is by Quill's urging, pointing out that Aryll would have never been taken had it not been for Tetra and her Pirate Crew 's arrival, that convinces Tetra to ferry Link to the Forsaken Fortress where his sister is imprisoned. Link's failure to rescue her, and subsequent meeting with the King of Red Lions , eventually brings him to the Rito's home of Dragon Roost Island. There, Link learns that the Rito are having a crisis. Valoo has become violent and restless, preventing the Rito from receiving his scales needed to grow their wings, and is thus threatening their way of life.

While trying to encourage Prince Komali, Link is asked by Medli , the newly appointed attendant and former apprentice of Komali's grandmother, [29] to meet her outside at the Dragon Roost Pond. There she asks Link for help in reaching the entrance to Dragon Roost Cavern, which she cannot reach due to the wind's direction. Link helps her and Medli goes on ahead to help Valoo, and Link decides to follow.

He later finds her captured by a Moblin and rescues her. Medli then informs him that she has discovered that something within the Cavern is harassing Valoo. Link discovers that the cause of Valoo's distress is in fact a Gohma. Link quells the dragon's discomfort by defeating the Gohma, finally ending the Rito's plight. Prince Komali also regains his courage, and leaves Link with Din's Pearl. Later during his quest, Link eventually meets the spirit of Laruto , the deceased Zoran Sage of Earth who was killed by Ganondorf 's forces, resulting in the Master Sword losing some of its former power.

Laruto beseeches that Link finds her successor, the one who carries the same Harp as she, who is destined to become the next Sage of Earth. Together they travel to the Earth Temple where Link defeats the evil there, allowing Medli to pray so the Master Sword can regain some of its power. The name Rito is likely a play on the Japanese word "tori", which means "bird" "Rito" is a reversal of the characters "to" and "ri".

It may also be derived from Ruto , the Zora princess from Ocarina of Time , referring to the Rito's ancestry. In The Wind Waker , most of the Rito's Japanese names describe their role or behavior, while most of their German names are derived from real-life bird species and genera. With the exception of Medli and the Rito Chieftain, all of the Rito's names in the French localization end with the letter "F.

Many of these Zora are themed after different types of salt-water dwelling fish, often featuring shark-like fins on their elbows, waist, and head. While primarily humanoid in appearance, the Rito are characterized by their beaks and wings. In fact, their wings protrude from their elbows, similarly to how the Zora have fins in the same area. The Rito were first introduced in Wind Waker.

There, the race resided on a large volcanic island known as Dragon Roost Island. Their island, alongside countless others, are actually the tops of the Hyrule mountains. In Wind Waker , Hyrule was completely submerged under a massive ocean during an event called the Great Flood.

The gods, in order to stop Ganondorf and his armies from reaching Hyrule Castle, opted to drown the entire kingdom and imprison Ganon under the ocean. The Zora were wiped out and those few who survived evolved into the Rito. One of the titular characters, Medli, is revealed to share a bloodline with the Zora Earth Sage, confirming the Zora's evolution into the Rito.

In Oracle of Ages , the Zora are seen living off the coast of the great island Labrynna.
