Biography
Rusl is an inhabitant of Ordon Village, where Link grew up during the Twili invasion of Hyrule. He taught Link the basics of swordplay, and gave him a Wooden Sword for training. He considers Link to be an older son or younger brother. He also forged the Ordon Sword, originally meant as an offering to the Royal Family of Hyrule, but was later taken by Link, following Rusl's defeat at the hands of King Bulblin; Rusl was unable to help when the Bulblins attacked Ordon and kidnapped his son Colin, along with several other children from the village. This hurt him immensely and he blamed himself for his failure. He guarded the village when Wolf Link went there to find a sword and shield, and attacked him on sight, not knowing it was really Link.

He was later reveals to have joined The Group, a resistance working towards achieving peace in Hyrule. As a member, he wears a helmet to conceal his identity. As an attempt to make amends for his previous failures, he aids Link again in the latter part of his quest by giving him the Golden Cucco that helps transport Link back to the Sacred Grove. Later on, Rusl, along with the rest of The Group, comes to Link's aid when a large number of enemies attack him from the passage where the Boss Key lies. He saves Link's life when a hawk he uses (presumably summoned using Hawk Grass) lifts away an arrow shot by a Bulblin that was aiming at Link.

Rusl's wife is Uli. Besides Colin, the couple are expecting the birth of another child: a baby girl seen during the game's end credits.
