Rutela

Rutela was queen of the Zoras, in Zora's Domain, until she was executed by the Twilight creatures as an example of their authority and strength. Her husband was the late King Zora.

She appears to Link as a ghost in Zora's Domain and again in Kakariko Village. At Zora's Domain she requests that Link find her son, Ralis, and make sure that he is safe. She also grants Link the Zora Armor, which is hidden in her husband's grave beneath the village's graveyard, as thanks for defending her sick son on a journey through Hyrule Field so that he could get to Renado. Ralis mentions to Link that she appeared to him in a dream and explained who Link was and what he looked like. During the ending credits she can be seen watching over Prince Ralis. Her haunting theme is the Serenade of Water from Ocarina of Time, and her name is probably another reference to Princess Ruto of the Zora tribe.
