Maloandtalo Guest. It would seem she is since in twilight princess ganon kills the sage of water Mikenike Thanks, Mike. Joined Dec 14, Location Daytona beach, Florida.

You mean the zora boys mother? Yes, that is ruto, and the sages do not live forever, they become spirits in the end of OOT, at the credits it shows them flying across the sky. So ruto is not "dead" techniaclly just in spirit form. Dirty Link Guest. Darunia at the start of the fire temple walks in to fight the fire dragon forgot her name and presumably loses or there would be no boss fight. The same thing happens in the shadow temple. Also sheik does warn link that a "forest girl" is in trouble this presumably is saria and she very well could have died.

Based off of this i just assumed Ruto and Nabooru died and became sages as well. Qwerty Pixelated Sword Member. Joined Jun 30, Location Long Island. Ruto isn't a sage in Twilight Princess, it's on the child timeline. Zarom The King. Joined Aug 18, Location Quebec. We all know that on the child timeline, after defeating Ganon, Zelda takes Link back to his childood, so all that happened when he was aldult aren't there anymore. No, she wasn't killed by Ganondorf's hand, and I seriously doubt she was the Zora Queen that died off-screen either.

No, my guess would be that's she's just like all the other characters of OoT, just dead. We know that there was at least one water sage in Hyrule at around that time, and possibly two, if Ruto awakened following Ganondorf murdering the other which may or may not be her. Million-to-one chances, she said, crop up nine times out of ten.

There's absolutely no reason Ruto couldn't have gone to the Water Temple to become a sage in the child timeline Her entire motivation for going to the water temple was to help try and save the domain. What reason is there for her to go otherwise? Ruto awakened as a sage in the Water Temple trying to help her people. This doesn't happen in the child timeline, where she is only inside Jabu's belly. Her reason is that there was no Sage protecting the domain. Either she became the Sage and was killed by Ganondorf, or there was another Sage that was killed by Ganondorf that she would've inherited powers from.

It's not like going to the water temple is hard. It's like 3 minutes away. User Info: dogwarrior. I thought the consensus was that a Zelda timeline between all games is bull, while the only actual connections are for direct sequel games or spin-offs like Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening and Phantom Hourglass At most, I believe the references in-game are mostly just fan service.

User Info: Hirokey MatthewTheLucky posted I think you are very unclear on what the sages are, they are not protectors of specific places and there are conditions for them to rise up. According to legend those destined to awaken as sages won't do so UNTIL evil has taken over Hyrule and the hero of time has risen, for the prophecies in OoT are all about how they will rise up to fight alongside the hero of time and how the hero of time is marked by his ability to fight with the power of the sages.

The two are intrinsically connected you can not have one set without the other. In the child timeline Ganondorf never got to rise to power, his attempts were thwarted before they really began and as such evil never took control of Hyrule due to Link forgoing becoming the hero of time again. Meaning there was literally no need for the OoT sages to exist and nothing for them to do either since they exist to fight alongside the hero of time who doesn't exist in the child timeline.

Rauru is the only exception because he is part of the first group of sages the "ancient sages" who have actually nothing to do with that prophecy. Again you can't just say "Ruto became a sage to protect Zora's domain later on" since monument very clearly states she became a sage so she could fight along Link and Zelda to stop Ganondorf who had attacked Zora's domain.

I've got a quote that embodies you perfectly, but it's seventy-three posts long, has a few massive flowcharts, and lots of Xion- KMA to Me. No, the Ancient Sages are an older generation. With the exception of Rauru, who is also an Ancient Sage, the Sages of OoT weren't awakened until the adult half of the game. The Sages Fado and Laruto were killed by Ganon, and they need Link to awaken their successors who will then exercise their sagely power.

These games establish that people don't have to die or can't die in order to become Sages. There's no reason for OoT to be an exception to these rules. At the end of Twilight Princess, once Link has defeated Ganon , the triforce disappears from his hand and then Zant appears as a sort of phantom. He then cracks his neck and Ganondorf dies. So in Ganon's ultimate moment of weakness, Zant took over, and finished him.

Being a Kokiri she never grows older , and remains a child throughout her life. So after receiving her distress call, Link rushes to the Forest Temple but Saria is nowhere to be seen. She was killed trying to fight the evil within the temple. When Link meets Darunia inside the Fire Temple, the Goron leader rushes into the boss room to try and defeat Volvagia.

Early in the story she claims that although Link does not have a fairy, he is still her very best friend. She gives Link her ocarina when he leaves the Kokiri Forest so that he will remember her, the ocarina is later crushed by Ganondorf.

Link is an orphan who was adopted by the Deku Tree and raised as a Kokiri , believing himself to be one. However, as evil forces seek to bring destruction to the forest, the clairvoyant Deku Tree foresees Link's part in the events to come and sends Navi the fairy to bring Link to him. Among them was a simple inquiry regarding Link's last name. The Deku Tree Sprout informs Link that he was originally raised as a Kokiri , despite his Hylian heritage, based on a poignant move by his injured mother: she placed him in the care of the Great Deku Tree during the Hyrulean Civil War before her death in order to safeguard his life from the calamity beyond.

Link is a hylian, which is a sort of a elf - human hybrid as far as looks go. Canonically, there are no humans , or elves in Hyrule where the games take place, so one could argue that the hylians are elves , but as far as the official canon goes, no, he is not an elf , but neither is he human.

No, Link is not mute. Link can and does talk but he never got any voice acting. Link is a Hylian. Hylians are not related to elves in any way, because elves are not in any Zelda game.
