Queen Rutela

'Rutela was queen of the Zoras, in Zora's Domain, until she was executed by the Twilight creatures as an example of their authority and strength.

She appears to Link as a ghost in Zora's Domain and again in Kakariko Village. At Zora's Domain she requests that you find her son, Ralis, and make sure that he is safe. She also grants you the Zora Armor, which is beneath the village's graveyard, as thanks for defending her sick son on a journey through Hyrule Field so that he could get to Renado. Ralis mentions to Link that she appeared to him in a dream and explained who Link was and what he looked like. Her name is probably another reference to Princess Ruto of the Zora tribe, from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
