The '''Rito''' is a recurring race in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Although significant differences exist between their presentation in these games, they are a proud, bird-like race. | |||

The | The Rito live on the volcanic island [[Dragon Roost Island]] in the north-eastern part of the [[Great Sea]]. The Rito are a proud bird-man tribe and they use their island as a Post Office for everyone who live on the Great Sea. | ||
Before [[Hyrule]] was flooded by the three [[Golden Goddesses]], the | Before [[Hyrule]] was flooded by the three [[Golden Goddesses]], the Rito were still [[Zora]]. The Zora lived in [[Zora's Domain]] in Hyrule and they had a society of their own. When Hyrule was flooded, the Zora eventually evolved into Rito and settled on Dragon Roost Island. Due to this, they lost the ability to swim, but gained the ability to fly. | ||

Valoo is a huge, red, worshipped dragon who is sitting in the crater of the volcano and he protects the Rito on the island. When a Rito reaches adulthood, he or she can visit Valoo on the top of the mountain to be given a [[Dragon Scale|scale]] that allows them to grow their wings. | ||
The | The Rito did not always have wings. A proof for this is that they have [[Grappling Hook]]s, and there are areas where they can be easily used spread out on the island. So, because of this fact, there must have been a stage between the flooding of Hyrule and when they got their wings when they used Grappling Hooks instead of flying. | ||
The leader of the | The leader of the Rito is the [[Rito Chieftain]] (in ''The Wind Waker'' that is [[Prince Komali|Komali]]'s father). There is also an attendant amongst the Rito who is responsible to take care of Valoo and make sure he is always feeling good (in ''The Wind Waker'' that is [[Medli]]). | ||
The | The Rito are the keepers of [[Din's Pearl]]. Din's Pearl was kept by [[Prince Komali's Grandmother|Komali's grandmother]] (the Chieftain's mother), but when she passed away, she gave the pearl to Prince Komali. After the loss, Prince Komali was very sad and he refused to let go of the pearl. When [[Link]] arrived at Dragon Roost later on, he managed to earn Komali's respect by calming Valoo down. That was when Komali gave Din's Pearl to Link. | ||
It is very common amongst the | It is very common amongst the Rito to have names that end with -li: Prince Komali, Medli, [[Koboli]], [[Kogoli]], [[Namali]] and [[Pashli]] (even the two human brothers [[Willi]] and [[Obli]] who dress up as Rito have names that end with -li). | ||
The Rito are often seen to be quite noble in their efforts. This is clearly shown on almost all occasions when Link runs into Quill, the postman from the start of the game. He is obviously very knowledgeable and one could assume wise. Even when the perils of their own people have been dealt with, the Rito show great belief in their role as joint protectors of their world. It is Quill who makes the pirates take Link with them at the start. He then gives Link the advice to go spy on the pirates on Windfall Island. Later on in the game, it is Medli who takes on the role of the sage of the Earth Temple. Medli gave Link the Grappling Hook and also convinced Prince Komali to give Din's Pearl to Link. | The Rito are often seen to be quite noble in their efforts.

The Rito are tall and graceful, and resemble several species of birds like hawks, eagles, parrots, though their children mostly resemble goslings. The Rito as a race were modeled after [[Revali]], as he was developed and designed first.{{Ref|''[[Creating a Champion]]''|The core design for the Rito hadn't been set before production started, so finalizing Revali defined how the rest of the Rito would look. I experimented with a number of different bird motifs, like swallows and woodpeckers, but settled on birds of prey. Creating a design that communicated a character that sees Link as a rival - but could not be honest with himself about it - took a lot of trial and error.|'''page 89'''}} | The Rito are tall and graceful, and resemble several species of birds like hawks, eagles, parrots, though their children mostly resemble goslings.

===Rito Armor and Weapons=== | |||
The Rito mostly specialize in aerial combat, so the clothes sold to Hylians mostly serve for [[Cold Resistance]]. Since the Rito style of combat relies on mid-air agility, they do not produce heavy weaponry like [[Breath of the Wild Two-Handed Weapons|two-handed weapons]]. They have a variety of bows available, which are all wooden-made, and centered on fast drawing and accuracy. | The Rito mostly specialize in aerial combat, so the clothes sold to Hylians mostly serve for [[Cold Resistance]].
