Queen Rutela

Queen Rutela is a character seen exclusively in Twilight Princess. During her life, she was the ruler of the Zora tribe, taking over after her husband, King Zora, died. However, during Zant's invasion of Hyrule, he sent Shadow Beasts to Zora's Domain, where they executed Queen Rutela in front of all the Zoras. While this happens simultaneously with Link being put in prison at the beginning of the game, it is never seen. 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 the 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.
