Princess Ruto was a [[Zora]] and the daughter of [[King Zora]], who resided in [[Zora's Domain]] in [[Ocarina of Time]]. She's an adventurous, yet temperamental, young Zora girl who got into trouble when [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]], the Zora's fish-like deity accidentally swallowed Ruto's most precious treasure, the Zora's Sapphire. Angered, she managed to get inside Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly without telling anyone, causing distress among her people and father who were unsure of her whereabouts. | Princess Ruto was a [[Zora]] and the daughter of [[King Zora]], who resided in [[Zora's Domain]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.

When she realized she couldn't get out either, she sent a message inside a bottle that ended down on Lake Hylia, which [[Link]] recovered. Prompted by this, Link entered Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly to rescue her. However, Ruto refused to leave until she could find her treasure. When they finally recover Ruto's belonging, Link realized that's the jewel he'd been looking for: the Spiritual Stone of Water. Ruto was then subsequently captured by a [[Big Octo]] and Link was forced to continue through the dungeon. Once he defeated [[Barinade]], he was reunited with the Zora princess. | When she realized she couldn't get out either, she sent a message inside a bottle that ended down on Lake Hylia, which [[Link]] recovered.

Soon after Link was freed from the Master Sword's seal, Sheik managed to free Princess Ruto from the ice, who in turn went immediately towards the Water Temple to try to cast away the evil from the temple. When Link found her once again inside the temple, they had a short reunion recalling their engagement; nevertheless, Ruto declared that it's no time to talk about love, and offering her help, she requested of Link to destroy the evil the temple suffers from in order to defrost Zora's Domain and save her people. | After Link was sealed by the [[Master Sword]] inside the [[Temple of Time]], Zora's Domain and its habitants were eventually frozen by the evil that flowed from the [[Water Temple]] when [[Ganondorf]] acquired the [[Triforce|Triforce of Power]] and conquered the [[Sacred Realm]] and [[Hyrule]].
