Prince Ralis

Prince Ralis is a character in Twilight Princess.

Biography
Ralis is the prince of the Zora people, and son of Queen Rutela. He tried to travel to Hyrule Castle to plead Princess Zelda for help when Zora's Domain froze, but he was attacked by monsters and rescued by Ilia. He became ill because he had spent too long away from water, and requires emergency transport to Kakariko Village to be treated by Renado. He is reluctant to become the King of the Zoras, but resolves these feelings with Link's help. He is an excellent Reekfish angler, and will provide Link with the Coral Earring required to catch one in order to proceed through the Snowpeak area.

After giving Link the Coral Earring, Ralis returns to Zora's Domain and rules over the Zoras. He welcomes Link and urge him to make himself at home. During the end credits Ralis finds the spirit of his mother and supposedly continues to rule over the Zoras, but in a much happier state.

Trivia

 * When Link is supposed to go back to Mayor Bo and ask how he bested the Gorons, if Link goes into the other villagers' house, Prince Ralis's Theme will be playing in the background. This only occurs during this segment of the game.
 * The pendant around his neck resembles the Zora's Sapphire.
 * Prince Ralis shares characteristics with Prince Komali, the future leader of the Ritos from The Wind Waker, who also has to face the death of a loved one.
 * There was a rumor about Prince Ralis being a female in the Japanese version, but it was unfounded. Prince Ralis is a male in all versions of the game, and is indeed only refered to as in the Japanese text dump.
 * Some fans believe that the King Zora referenced in Twilight Princess is said to be the same as the one in Ocarina of Time, which would make Ralis and Princess Ruto siblings, or at least half-siblings. As the quote mentioning this is attributed to an interviewer as opposed to one of the creators, this is still just speculation.
