Ruto

Ruto is one heck of a Warrior. Despite her constant need to be carried around in Ocarina 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 the Adventure Map. 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-range bursts with the simple press of Combo Attack. 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 begins to fill. When you press Combo after filling it even slightly, Ruto becomes stationary and can now only turn, specifically for the purpose of aiming. Pressing Combo 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!
