It is a giant machine that resembles an elephant.
 
==Overview==
==={{BotW|-}}===
====Entrance to the Divine Beast====
 


==History
Many years ago, Ruta was piloted by [[Mipha]] the [[Zora]] [[Champion]]. After [[Calamity Ganon]] took control of the machine, it created a torrential downpour in [[Lanayru Great Spring]]. If [[Link]] approaches it before completing some necessary precursors, he will be thrown backwards by the beast's fury.


==Entrance to the Divine Beast==
Before Link can board Ruta, he must team up with the Zora [[Prince Sidon]] to disable the Beast. Link must disable the switches on the Ruta's sides by swimming up waterfalls and shooting them with [[Shock Arrows]]. Each time Link disables a switch, Ruta sends an increasingly savage volley of ice blocks and spheres that Link must shatter with the [[Cryonis]] [[Rune]]. Once he has deactivated all the switches, he can enter the Beast.


==Themes and Navigation==
Once inside, Link can control the Elephant's trunk and move it between various positions. It constantly spews water, allowing Link to position the stream of water by extension. To appease Ruta, Link must activate each of the [[Terminal]]s located throughout the Beast with his [[Sheikah Slate]]. After Link activates them all, he can proceed to fight [[Waterblight Ganon]].


If Link is successful in defeating Waterblight Ganon, he is visited by Mipha's spirit and receives Mipha's Grace, a magical power similar to that of a [[Fairy]] and the rain in Lanayru Great Spring will finally stop. Link is also rewarded by the Zora King with Mipha's [[Lightscale Trident]]. Mipha's spirit and Ruta climb atop a cliff and send a red beam towards [[Hyrule Castle]] to aid link in his fight against Calamity Ganon.


==Minor Enemies and Traps==
Before Link can board Ruta, he must team up with [[Sidon]] to disable it. If [[Link]] approaches it without Sidon's help before defeating [[Waterblight Ganon]], he will be thrown backwards by its barrier. Link must disable the switches on Ruta's sides by swimming up waterfalls and shooting them with [[Shock Arrow]]s. Each time Link disables a switch, Ruta launches an increasingly savage volley of ice blocks and spiky spheres towards the duo, which Link must break with [[Cryonis]] in order to progress. Once he has deactivated all the switches, the endless rain around Zora's Domain ceases and the machine becomes accessible.
 
====Themes and Navigation====
Once inside, Link can control Ruta's trunk and move it between various positions. It constantly spews water, allowing Link to position the stream of water by extension. In order to calm Ruta, Link must activate each of the five terminals located throughout it with his [[Sheikah Slate]]. After Link activates them all, he can proceed to fight [[Waterblight Ganon]].
 
Upon defeating Waterblight Ganon, Link is visited by Mipha's spirit and receives [[Mipha's Grace]], a magical power similar to that of a [[Fairy]]. He is also rewarded with Mipha's [[Lightscale Trident]] by [[Muzu]]. Ruta, now commanded by Mipha's spirit, climbs atop a cliff and targets [[Hyrule Castle]] in preparation of Link's fight against Ganon.
