Rusta
Template:Character Rusta is a character in Skyward Sword that resides in Skyloft.[1] He is married to Henya, the school cook at the Knight Academy.
Biography
Rusta can be found at the bird statue near the Waterfall Cave in Skyloft before the Wing Ceremony, where he notes to Link that it is missing an eye.[2] Afterwards, Rusta can be found at the Lumpy Pumpkin. After Kukiel goes missing, he informs Link about a monster in Skyloft,[3] something many people don't believe.[4][5][6] If Link breaks the Lumpy Pumpkin's chandelier, he will scold him for doing so, saying that he scared a year off his life.[7]
Nomenclature
Like other Skyloft inhabitants, Rusta's name may be derived from a type of bird, specifically the rooster. Fittingly, his wife's name, Henya, comes from hen.
