Laruto

Laruto is the former Sage of Earth in The Wind Waker. She's a Zora and the only one of her race that appears in The Wind Waker. She was born in Zora's Domain, before Hyrule got flooded and was killed by Ganon's minion Jalhalla when the former broke the seal of the sages. After her death, her spirit remained in the Earth Temple until she was replaced by her descendant Medli.

The Wind Waker
Laruto had served as the Sage of the Earth until her death. Only her spirit remained, and she appeared to Link when he learned the Earth God's Lyric. She showed him who was to be her heir, and told him to lead the new sage to the Earth Temple.

Her last appearance was when Link defeated Jalhalla. She played the Earth God's Lyric along with Medli as Link conducted.
