Characteristics[]

The Watarara appear in the bonus story entitled "Rouru of the Watarara." They ride the seasonal wind to Hyrule once a year due to their migration.[1] As a Watarara matures, they grow wings from their arms, giving them the ability to fly.[2] The young ride on their parent's back until they develop their wings.[3] Elrora is the chieftess of the tribe,[4] her son, Rouru, is the tribe's heir,[5] and Guufo is his guardian.[6]

  7. "For the episode "The Wind Waker", when we chose to situate the action in the middle of the ocean, we immediately felt the need to create a race that can move through the air. During long trips offshore, we needed faster characters capable of transmitting information to Link. It was at that moment that I remembered Watatara clan, you had invented for the adaptation of "Ocarina of Time." In short, I digress a bit about the initials but we are inspired by your work to give birth to Rito Race, creatures that are half-man half-bird that can move very quickly with their wings." —Eiji Aonuma (THE LEGEND OF ZELDA MANGA INTERVIEW TRANSLATED)
