disclaimer for the theory i am about to present: im not saying any of this is, or should be, cannon, it’s a semi- headcannon that i find interesting.

i feel like it’s been fairly well established that the whole “rito evolved from the Zora” thing really raises more questions than it solves. I mean sure, the presence of both in botw can be explained by speciation, in which two groups of the same species becoming so geographically separated they emerge as two different species. but that doesn’t change the fact that the basis of the ritos creation is based on the idea that Zoras (creatures who live in the water) would have to evolve into creatures with wings because…hyrule was flooded? It could be explained by the idea that zoras are like dolphins and needed to breathe air but, that can be done without flying and Sidon is depicted as having gils (pic below).

Because of this, i kinda came up with my own theory for the rito that i feel like is a lot simpler and fits well with the timeline anyway.

thinking back to the end of skyward sword, it’s heavily implied that the people skyloft eventually colonize the surface, starting with Link and Zelda. As we can see in later games (most prominently ocarina of time), Hylians are an entirely land-based people. i would assume that over time, the people of skyloft/the hylians spent more and more time on land, using their loft wings to travel to the sky less and less. While the loftwings can travel to the surface once the cloud barrier has been dispelled (as they do at the end of sksw cutscenes), they are air-borne creatures who need to fly.

It’s my theory that the loftwings, now remaining in the sky while their masters have less and less use for them, have to become a bit more independent and more organized for the purpose of survival with less help from their previous owners. The loftwings are clearly intelligent creatures, able to sense the presence of their skyloftian counterparts in skyward sword, and being able to decide who their rider will be as children (although i understand that has a bit more to do with fate, ik). Eventually, over the thousands, tens of thousands (??) of years during which the minish cap, four swords, and oot take place, the loftwings evolve into the rito, albeit very slowly.

This explains a lot of things imo. The lack of rito up until wind waker is explained by the loftwings/rito still being mostly sky-bound and not evolved enough to act as a civilized race with the other peoples in tloz. It explains the coexistence of both zoras and ritos in botw and totk. the only thing it doesn’t account for is the lack of zoras in wind waker, but with how much water there is in that game, a case can easily be made for them just being somewhere else. Also this theory in its nature negates some of wind waker’s plot.

just some thoughts, also ik this is impossible given when the games were all made. This is purely based on the canon timeline given in hyrule historia

So I’ve been playing Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, and the moment I realized you could fuse a shield to a Zonai cart and essentially skateboard I had to draw this!

Hope you enjoy this silly drawing, and have an AWESOME day!!!

I've seen your dragons! Oh so lovely and nice, good art and all! And ive seen you do others in dragon forms, Zelda, that shadow girl I can't remember her name(srry) and I wondered... what would other species look like as dragons? Gorons, gurudo, the bird people and fish people. I'd say it be interesting to see it all!

A bunch of dragons based off of not-so-unfamiliar people :))

Another batch Ganon and him getting bigger and bigger XD All the Zelda costumes : D Impa and Paya (I was so sure Impa from AoC was more simmilar to Paya, but the changes are there) OH nad Rito and proof that Revali was a teen bc look how short he is with his red dots on cheeks that every Adult don't have. He is a baby and we do not let anyone badmouth Revali in this house (he wanted Link to prove him that he was equal bc that how he makes friends. There would be arrows everywhere and nobody would be safe if Calamity didn't end the way it did. too little time to get close, too much stress bc CALAMITY)

Day 5: race/species

Soooo I didn’t post this yesterday because honestly, I’m not happy with it at all. But then I though, fuck it, I spent time making this so I may as well show it off.

I looove Rito and Rito Village, and if I had the time I would probably have drawn something more intricate, something that captures my love for them even deeper. But who knows, that might happen another day.

You know what I havn't heard anyone talk about yet?

The fact the Rito use what look like their own simplified version of compound bows.

So - for anyone who doesn't know archery, there's different types of bows you can use. The type you'll usually see in media is a long bow. (There's also flat bows, recurve bows, crossbows, etc.)

A compound bow is a more modern bow - and the most common type you'd probably use now days if you joined an archery club.

You can see the familiarities - the wheels, the supports, the shapes. The Rito bows are like a wooden version.

So why is it interesting? Well - they made the design choice to chose a more modern bow style rather than a more traditional one like a longbow dispite the fact the enviroments aren't modern. So this was a very specific design decision they made. Why are compound bows more commonly used now days? Because they take less strength to pull and fire. Simple as that. To shoot a long bow, you need very good upper arm strength. Compound bows distribute the pressure to make them easier to wield if you don't have that.

Birds have hollow bones so that they can fly, and the Rito warriors seem to mostly have slender builds for dexterity. The liklihood is that they don't have incredible muscle strength. So using compound bows makes perfect sense. They can also be lighter, because a long bow or a flat bow must be made of a solid piece of wood so it can bend without breaking, but a compound bow is usually made from hollow pieces of metal (though theoretically could be made from wood), because they don't have so much pressure on them. So they'd be able to be flown around with much easier.

This probably isn't of any interest to anyone, but it was something interesting I noticed that I wanted to share!
