Queen Rutela I drew a couple years ago for @neardawnzine : a Twilight Princess fanzine! Leftovers are for sale until May 1st if you wanted to grab something before it's gone!

Rutela makes me insane actually

died shortly (if not during) the start of the game by getting fucking beheaded in front of her subjects

husband that died under mysterious circumstances before all this

carries the Zora Sapphire around her body in golden chains, which is metal af

capable of entering dreams apparently

after you help Ralis says she can now join her husband, but can be seen hanging around in the end credits anyways like she just said "nah" to dying for good

There's portraits of her in Snowpeak Mansion

Why are there portraits of Rutela in Snowpeak Mansion

The mansion that very clearly used to be a military base years ago

which otherwise only has portraits of places far away from anything Zora related, and Rauru Ocarina of Time

all those places save for Ordon are specifically locations important to Sage Business (Arbiters Grounds, Sacred Grove, Island in the Sky)

And Ordon houses the only Link in this series to ever start out with his Triforce, so it's not completely off the hook either

because clearly Rutela and her husband somehow knew a Hero would be coming soon if her husband made armor for him shortly before he kicked the fish bucket (under mysterious circumstances)

again, the only people important enough to get depicted are Rauru and for some reason her

she's named after Ruto, who's a Sage of Water. You know who else is a Sage of Water? The one who executed Ganondorf and then got murdered

IN OTHER WORDS, there's a chance that this woman was the current Sage of Water, who was not only important enough to Hyrule's dealings to get the only portrait next to Mr Yapping Owl Man himself, but was specifically targeted by Ganondorf as revenge for her predecessor shoving a sword in his gut as well as preventing her from further aiding the hero she knew would rise to stop him

(And also she's 🎵a giant woman🎶)
