Laruto (ラルト, Raruto) is the former Sage of Earth in The Wind Waker. She's a Zora and the only one of her race that appears in The Wind Waker. She was born in Zora's Domain, before Hyrule got flooded and was killed by Ganon's minion Jalhalla, shortly after the former broke the seal of the sages.[1] After her death, her spirit remained in the Earth Temple until she was replaced by her descendant Medli.
The Wind Waker
Laruto had served as the Sage of the Earth until her death, but her spirit remained in the Earth Temple, waiting for a successor. After a long time, a new hero visited the temple and Laruto appeared before him, requesting him to find the new Sage. She gave him a couple of hints as how he could recognize the new Sage and thought him the Earth God's Lyric, the song that would awaken the new Sage.[2]
Link left the temple and found the new Sage: Medli. He played the Earth God's Lyric for her, causing her to lose conscience. In her "dream", she was visited by Laruto and the two began to play the Earth God's Lyric together. When Medli woke up, she asked Link to bring her to the Earth Temple.[3]
Laruto's last appearance was when Link defeated Jalhalla. When Medli played the Earth God's Lyric, Laruto appeared next to Medli and played along. She disappeared again when the Master Sword had regained (part of) its power, finally freed from her obligations.
Trivia
- The name Laruto seems to be reference to the name Ruto, which belonged to the Zora princess in Ocarina of Time.
- Laruto is one of the people you can't take a photo of. To get her figurine, get her photo from Lenzo.[4]
References
- ↑ Laruto - Birthplace: Zora's Domain - Long, long ago, the Zora sage, Laruto, offered up her prayers in the Earth Temple so that the Master Sword would continue to house the power to repel evil. - Laruto figurine (The Wind Waker).
- ↑ O great hero, chosen by the Master Sword! My name is Laruto. I am a Zora sage. For an age, I offered my prayers here in the Earth Temple, praying that the power to repel evil would ever remain within the Master Sword. And yet...unfortunately, due to Ganondorf's evil designs, the Master Sword you hold has lost this power. After his defeat at the hands of the Hero of Time, Ganondorf was sealed away... but not for all time. He was revived, and he returned to Hyrule in a red wrath. He attacked this temple and stole my soul, knowing that he had to remove the power contained in that enchanted blade. In order to return the power to repel evil to your sword, you must find another to take my stead in this temple and ask the gods for their assistance. You must find the one who carries on my bloodline... The one who holds this sacred instrument... Nothing can stop the flow of time or the passing of generations... but the fate carried within my bloodline endures the ravages of all the years. It survives. The song you just conducted is one which will open the eyes of the new sage and awaken within that sage the melody that will carry our prayers to the gods. The door that blocks your way will only open when the sage plays that song. May the winds of fortune blow with you. - Laruto (The Wind Waker).
- ↑ Just now, a sage spoke to me. She spoke so gently... There's something... something that I must do. Link... Thanks to you, I've been awakened to the knowledge that I'm a sage of the Earth Temple. There's actually something that I can do to help this world. It's incredible... I bet my teacher knew all about this... Link, please... You must take me to the Earth Temple. We must hurry and wake the power to repel evil that sleeps within the Master Sword. Let's go now, quickly and quietly. Oh, Komali... I just want him to remember me as a simple attendant... - Medli (The Wind Waker).
