'''Queen Rutela''' is a character in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. She was the ruler of the [[Zora]] tribe until she was killed by [[Zant|Zant's]] minions. When [[Link]] melts the ice from [[Zora's Domain]], her ghost asks Link to help her son, [[Prince Ralis]], who has disappeared and is in danger of dying from an illness. After guiding him to [[Kakariko Village]], she takes Link through [[Kakariko Graveyard]] to a secret chamber, where he receives the [[Zora Armor]]. This armor allows Link to breathe and swim underwater, but makes him more vulnerable to ice and fire attacks.
'''Queen Rutela''' is a character from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.


==''Twilight Princess''==
Rutela is never seen alive; only in a ghost state. During her life, she was the ruler of the [[Zora]] tribe, taking over after her husband, [[King Zora (Twilight Princess)|King Zora]], died.{{Ref|TP|8384|Queen Rutela}} However, during [[Zant]]'s invasion of [[Hyrule]], he sent [[Shadow Beast]]s to [[Zora's Domain]], where they executed Queen Rutela in front of all the Zora.{{Ref|TP|8386|Queen Rutela}} While this happens simultaneously with Link being put in prison at the beginning of the game, it is not seen.


==Theory==
After [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] melts the ice that covers [[Zora's Domain]] using the giant rock from [[Death Mountain]], the ghost of Queen Rutela stops Link before he can leave.{{Ref|TP|8382|Queen Rutela}} She thanks Link for saving her people,{{Ref|TP|8383|Queen Rutela}} and then continues to more pressing matters. She asks Link to help her son, [[Prince Ralis]], who she fears is in danger.{{Ref|TP|8388-8390|Queen Rutela}}{{Ref|TP|8393|Queen Rutela}} She promises Link the ability to swim and breathe in very deep water, like a Zora.{{Ref|TP|8394-8395|Queen Rutela}} However, at the current moment, Link is stuck in his wolf form. [[Midna]] points out that it would not be best to meet the prince as a wolf.{{Ref|TP|8399|[[Midna]]}} With that, Link continues on his immediate quest of collecting the [[Tears of Light]].
{{Theory}}
Some fans theorize that Queen Rutela may possibly be Princess Ruto from Ocarina of Time, as their names are very similar. Her necklace also resembles the Zora Sapphire and her haunting theme is the remix of the [[Serenade of Water]]
{{Theory/End}}


Once the light has been restored to the [[Lanayru Province]], Link can travel to [[Telma's Bar]], where the injured Prince Ralis lies, being taken care of by the memory-less [[Ilia]]. Now in his [[Hylian]] form, Link can rescue Ralis and bring him to [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]], where [[Renado]], the shaman of the village,{{Ref|TP|1381|[[Renado]]}} can attend to him. Once Ralis is safely in the [[Elde Inn]], Queen Rutela presents herself to Link, and leads him to the back of the [[Graveyard (Twilight Princess)|Graveyard]], to a secret chamber. Inside this chamber lies the [[King Zora's Grave|grave of the deceased King Zora]]. She thanks Link, telling him she is very grateful.{{Ref|TP|4348|Queen Rutela}} She gives Link the [[Zora Armor]], which allows Link to breathe and swim underwater, but makes him more vulnerable to ice and fire attacks.{{Ref|TP|139|In-game description}} Queen Rutela is never heard from again. However, she is seen during the ending credits, watching over her son as he begins his reign as the Ruler of the Zora.
==Trivia==
* Queen Rutela's theme is a remix of the [[Serenade of Water]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.
