Princess Ruto

Princess Ruto (ルト姫, Ruto-hime) is a playable character in Hyrule Warriors. Players can unlock her in the game's Adventure Mode. She originated from Ocarina of Time.

Role in Game
When Impa and Sheik entered the Era of The Hero of Time, a fairy named Navi says that the Gorons kidnapped the Zora Princess Ruto. After rescuing her, she will tell the player that in order to get into the Water Temple is to open the floodgates. Afterwards, she will retreated into the temple to find the Mirror of Truth. But when she does, Wizzro (disguised as Zelda) imprisoned her in the Central Chamber of the temple.

After Lake Hylia, Ruto will only appear if Darunia is playable. If played as Darunia, Ruto will activate the Statue of Waves and Flames in The Temple of The Sacred Sword.

After defeating Cia, Ruto and Darunia will go back to their time. Lana recalls them in Gerudo Desert to aid the Hyrulean Forces against Ganondorf.

In the final battle, if the player chooses Darunia, Ruto will take his place in defeating the southern Argorok, and stalling Ganondorf for the player to reclaim the Castle Keep.

Personality
Princess Ruto is a tomboyish, proud, but kind individual. She is rather shy to those whom she trusts.

Fighting Style
Princess Ruto's Zora Scale provides her with mastery over water, with her attacks making use of her swift mobility in water along with aquatic arrays and projectiles. Many of these attacks are very wide ranged and powerful hitting, while also seeing her reposition herself on the battlefield, allowing her to be slippery and untouchable while plowing through fields of enemies.
