For a village in southeastern Corinthia, see Rito, Greece
In the fictional world of the Legend of Zelda series of video games, the Rito (or "Bird People") are a "race" (species) of bird-like humanoids that first appeared in Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Their main habitat is on Dragon Roost Isle, in which all known Rito reside. They have a tribal elder, with numerous followers and elaborately dressed guards. No Rito is born with wings, but receives them from the air dragon Valoo. It is a coming of age ceremony of the Rito, to journey to the great Valoo to receive their wings. Children with no wings are called chicks.
Rito are viewed upon by outsiders somewhat dubiously. Some have an inexplicable bigotry directed towards them. Still, Rito are widely accepted as mail carriers. As only they can traverse the seas without cumbersome ships. Rito are capable of flying quickly, and full-grown members can carry humans for a short time.
Some fans have speculated that the Rito are related in some way to the Zora or the Gerudo, the former being because one of them carries the sage "bloodline" of a Zora, though it's unclear whether this implies an ancestral relationship or not.
The Rito may be inspired by the Watarara race in one of the Zelda mangas (generally considered not to be canon). These people were more like giant birds than humans, but had a similar gaining of wings past a certain age and the same chieftain leadership structure.
