Hyrule Warriors Guide Warriors
Ruto
Ruto is one heck of a Warrior. Despite her constant need to be carried around in Ocarino of Time, she’s no slouch here. In fact, when it comes to clearing Keeps and large groups of enemies, she stands side by side with Link and his Master Sword. She’s also quick and her attacks are extremely mobile. Ruto is a Warrior you are going to want to unlock as soon as possible so you can really feel the benefit of her skill set.
How to Unlock
You can find this Warrior in Scenario E-10 in Adventure Mode. You must first use an Item Card in the Search Screen to locate her, and then complete the Scenario to unlock her.
Ruto’s Weapons
Zora Scale
Ruto’s Zora Scale comes with a handy gimmick that makes her absolutely excellent at sweeping areas of all enemy soldiers: She can shoot water in super fast, extremely long-rang bursts with the simple press of 
(
in Zelda Style). Okay, maybe it’s not exactly that simple, but we promise there’s not much more to it than that. As you use Combo Attacks, a bar under Ruto’s Special Meter will begin to fill. When you press 
after filling it even slightly, Ruto becomes stationary and can now only turn, specifically for the purpose of aiming. Pressing 
any time thereafter makes Ruto fire off a narrow, speedy, powerful wave of water. After she depletes her water meter, she leaps into the air and creates a larger, but shorter-ranged wave to clear out any enemies that were lucky enough to avoid her first few shots. This is absolutely excellent for clearing Keeps and she can build up her water meter by using Combo Attacks, regardless of whether they hit a foe. Now that’s convenience!
