After Ganondorf takes over Hyrule, he freezes Zora's Domain, trapping the Zoras. Fortunately for Ruto she is rescued from beneath the ice by Sheik, after which she heads to the Water Temple. Link meets her there as an adult. She then scolds him for keeping her waiting for seven years to marry him, saying "I have not forgotten the vows we made to each other". When Link completes the Water Temple, Ruto is awakened as the Water Sage, and gives Link the Water Medallion.

In the manga, during the childhood chapters, Ruto got swallowed by Jabu-Jabu on purpose because the husband her father presented was not acceptable to her. She gave Link the Zora Sapphire out of her new-found feeling for him after he saved her life. She has a huge crush on Link, and truly believes that they are meant for each other.

Ruto's name came from the mountain town of Ruto in '']''. As this game precedes that one in the Zelda timeline, it may be more accurate to say, in Zelda canon, that the town takes its name from him..

Ruto's counterpart in Termina was ], the lead singer of the Indigo-Go's, a Zora band. The primary difference between them visually being that Lulu wears a dress while Ruto wears nothing. This is supposedly because there were complaints about Ruto being naked, especially since she is represented both as a well-developed child and as a buxom young woman. Interestingly, Ruto is the only one of the sages to have a counterpart in Termina (although Darmani could be counted).
