Powers and Abilities
Princss Ruto was given the ability to control and manipulate water and its various states. She could both evaporate and freeze water and bend it into any shape or form. She became particularly fond of using ice after killing General Onox

Personality
Princess Ruto was known for her vanity and obsession with shallow beauty, and was often considered bratty and spoiled for most of her pre-Sage lifetime. She would often find ways to appear thinner and more graceful than any other Zora, a trait that often exposed her lack of self confidence and insecurity. She was infamous for perverted tendencies and romantic interests in non Zora races and was often scolded by her father for disgracing her people with them.

First Golden Age
At a very young age Ruto was named Princess of the Zora Dominion and quickly became a rather spoiled individual, often abusing her privileges and power. She became friends with Zaleen while they were still very young and was often caught performing perverted displays with him. Eventually her father King Farkos became increasingly disturbed by their relationship and forbid her from interacting with Zaleen. This did not dissuade the two, and they continued to see each other in secret. Around 90 AG Princess Ruto was violently beaten to death by Zaleen's father, who had fallen into a drunken rage. Zaleen brought Ruto's dead body to Jabun whom he fasted in front of and prayed to for nearly a week to bring Ruto back from the dead. Moved by his dedication, Jabun named Princess Ruto the next Sage of Water and she was restored to life with his powers. Princess Ruto devoted herself to healing after her awakening into Sagehood.

The Gerudo Wars
In 100 AG both Twili and Parella forces invaded the Zora Dominion. Along with Zaleen and Laruto, the Princess defended the city with her Sage abilities. She personally confronted General Onox, killing him with shards of ice before he could successfully poison the source of the river with toxins. With the Zora's Domain ruined and most of her people dead, Princess Ruto set out to warn the Kingdom of Hyrule of the Twili invasion and recall her father.

Second Golden Age
With the discovery that her father was dead, and Zaleen's wish to work at the Temple of Time in Hyrule, Princess Ruto fell into a depression and began a pilgrimage across Hyrule. She disappeared for several decades, healing people that were in need of such services.

The Return of Sulkaris
Princess Ruto returned to the Zora's Domain after her pilgrimage, only to stumble upon the Parella and River Zora breeding an army of abominations. With the help of Laruto and the armies of Lanayru Province, Princess Ruto managed to drive the monsters away from the Domain. She then returned with Laruto to Lanayru Province where she became reacquainted with Zaleen. Soon after her arrival the Oocca descended from the heavens and began an assault on Hyrule, seeking Link and the False Goddess Hylia. Princess Ruto defended the city of Airu, and then set out to find Saria with the other Sages after she refused to answer their call. Soon the Sages came after Saria but found her lost to rage. Saria began spawning hate filled abominations with her powers and the Sages were forced to battle their way through the hordes. Eventually they managed to suppress her, Princess Ruto assuring her that the Sages would help her overcome what she was going through. Ruto and Saria quickly became friends during the healing process.

With the threat of another Oocca attack and all the Sages gathered, Ruto ascended with five other Sages to the Sky Cities to find Demoko and rescue Link. There she worked with rebellious Oocca forces to confront Demoko, free Link, and put an end to the invading Oocca.

Ruto then returned to Lanayru Province with Saria, where she hoped to find a way to offer her services as a Sage and help rebuild. She resumed her relationship with Zaleen and soon after the two married. The two than set out on a quest to find survivors of the Zora Dominion and bring them back to Lanayru Province. Eventually the Zora Dominion was reestablished, and Domain Prime reconstructed and repopulated at the source of the Zora's River.

A Tale of Two Swords
Ruto was was called by the other Sages after Majora had begun his attack on Hyrule. Ruto marched with the Zora Dominion's army to Hyrule field, where they gathered with Hylian, Goron, and Kokiri forces to strike at Majora. Ruto and the Zora participated in the assault of Hyrule Castle and were successful in defeating Majora. Their work complete, Princess Ruto named herself Queen of the Zora and took Laruto as her disciple for Sagehood. Several years later Laruto was named her successor.
