In ''The Wind Waker'', the Rito reside in the volcanic [[Dragon Roost Island]]. There they tend to the Sky Spirit [[Valoo]], who sits atop the peak of the island volcano. Rito in ''The Wind Waker'' appear as humanoids with pointed ears, wide red eyes, orangish-yellowish beaks in place of noses, and talon legs. Many members have dark skin and white hair that is often braided; the exception to this being [[Medli]], a female Rito who has light skin and red hair. Whether or not this is a difference of sex in the race is unknown. Rito are initially wingless; when they come of age, they must travel to Valoo and receive a scale that will enable them to grow their wings.<ref>{{Cite|We do so by the graces of the sky spirit, {{Color|TWW Red|Valoo}}. When a Rito reaches adulthood, he or she journeys to the top of {{Color|TWW Red|Dragon Roost}} to receive a {{Color|TWW Red|scale}} from the great dragon.

In ''Breath of the Wild'', Rito have adopted a much more bird-like appearance, somewhat resembling a {{Wp|Tengu|Karasu Tengu}}. They have almost no humanoid traits whatsoever. In addition, their children have wings even at a young age and there is no sign of a guardian deity to fill a similar role to Valoo's in ''The Wind Waker''. Both Rito and Zoras co-exist in ''Breath of the Wild''; whether or not this means the Rito are still evolved from Zoras is unknown. These Rito live at [[Rito Village]] above [[Lake Totori]]. Their males are urged from birth to emulate [[Revali]], the Rito Champion from a century prior.<ref>{{Cite|All Rito males are urged from birth to become honorable warriors just like Revali.|Huck|BotW}}</ref> | In ''Breath of the Wild'', Rito have adopted a much more bird-like appearance, somewhat resembling a {{Wp|Tengu|Karasu Tengu}}.
