Rito Records
The Rito Records are an Object in Tears of the Kingdom.[1]
Location and Uses
The Rito Records are a Book that can be found inside the Hebra Trailhead Lodge. They contain information about the Stormwind Ark.[2] This includes a transcription of the "Song of the Stormwind Ark".[3]
According to the legend, the Winds stopped blowing through Rito Village one day, and while the Rito were struggling, they saw a figure fall from the Sky.[4] The Rito believed this figure to be a god, and they tried to help them return to their home through flight.[5] The god directed them to gather building materials, which the Rito did under his command.[6] Using a power, the god was able to create Flying Ships, and the Rito were able to deliver them back to the Sky.[7] Afterwards, the god sent them the Stormwind Ark as a reward, which returned the Winds to Hebra.[8][9]

Stormwind Ark Legend
One day, the winds that ought to blow in Rito Village ceased. Then the heavens grew stagnant, and the earth fell to ruin.
The villagers looked skyward for a solution.
They saw a figure pierce through the unmoving gray clouds and descend swiftly toward them.
Believing no ordinary being could fall from the heavens, the villagers called this figure a god.
And the god stood atop a hill day after day, longing to return home to their island in the heavens.
The villagers, forgetting their own troubles, tried to carry the god home on their proud winds.
Yet who could say how far it might be, the place this god came from?
The Rito took flight in turn, each hoping to reach that place above the clouds... Alas, none had wings strong enough.
Seeing this, the god told the leader of the village that returning to the heavens was possible if the Rito gathered materials.
Their spirits high, the villagers set about doing so.
The god nodded upon seeing the tall pile of materials. This, they understood, would be enough.
The god poured a strange power into the pile, and several small boats were assembled.
Cautiously, the villagers boarded. The small vessels began floating up into the air.
With the god leading them, the boats rose higher and higher, soon passing through the thick clouds.
The vastness of the heavens took the villagers' breath away. Floating islands dotted a clear blue sky.
The villagers rejoiced songfully and then, with reluctance, returned to earth.
One day, winds at the village roared back to life. In shock, the villagers looked to the sky.
Floating above them was an enormous ship that the god had sent in gratitude.
Numerous oars on both sides began to move like wings, soundlessly churning the skies...
Air blew across Hebra once again. The skies cleared, and blooming flowers rose from the ground.
The god had given them the blessing of wind.
This ark that saved the village from catastrophe came to be known as the Stormwind Ark.
So ends the story of the Stormwind Ark that saved the village long ago.
"Song of the Stormwind Ark"
Once, a god fell from heaven, stilling the Hebra winds.
The heavens grew lifeless, just as the air below thinned.
With the world in upheaval, we pledged to help the lord.
A line of ships soaring, built as a passage skyward.
The god ascended to heaven, leaving behind an ark.
Its winds brought us new life, thanks to its great, divine spark.
