Rus

Rus is a young child who appears in the Valiant Comics. He lives in the Water Town of Saria with his family, who are farmers. When Ganon visits Saria, claiming to come in peace, he picks up Rus as the rest of the villagers flee. When Ganon asks Rus why he's afraid of him, the Rus replies that Ganon is the evil one. Ganon tells him that those are simply lies that were spread by Link, whom he refers to as a man-monster.

The villagers befriend Ganon, but Link and Princess Zelda come to Saria for a visit. When Ganon is about to kill Link, he asks Rus give him Link's sword. Rus refuses, asking what will happen to Link. When Ganon demands Rus to give him the sword, Rus attempts to run away. Gannon tries to harm him with a magic spell, but fails when Princess Zelda dives in front of the boy, taking the blast. After Link manages to defeat Ganon, Rus is seen safe and sound, with Link thanking him for his help.
