Laruto is a Zora who appears in spirit form in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and is the [[Sage of Earth]].


Laruto was one of the two sages responsible for keeping the [[Master Sword]] able to repel evil. Knowing this, [[Ganondorf]] ensured her demise using [[Jalhalla]] to kill her. Her spirit resided in the [[Earth Temple]] awaiting the arrival of the [[Wind Waker]].

Laruto appears to [[Link]] after conducting the [[Earth God's Lyric]] found on a large stone slab blocking the entrance to the [[Earth Temple]]. Laruto tells [[Link]] that he must search for her descendant and successor, the one who continues her bloodline and carries the same harp she holds. Her descendant is [[Medli]], a young [[Rito]] girl living on [[Dragon Roost Island]] who [[Link]] had assisted before. Upon conducting the [[Earth God's Lyric]] to her, [[Medli]] collapses and experiences a vision of Laruto who awakens her to her destiny.

After [[Link]] defeats [[Jalhalla]], he places the [[Master Sword]] in the center of the room and conducts the [[Earth God's Lyric]] to [[Medli]], Laruto is seen playing the harp next to her and the [[Master Sword]] regains some of its lost power. Laruto is no longer seen after this event.

Seeing as how Laruto only appears in cutscenes, there is no way to manually take a pictograph of her. Instead, Laruto's [[Figurines|Figurine]] can be acquired from [[Lenzo]], who sells a pictograph of Laruto (who he refers to as the Earth Sage{{Ref|TWW|4001|Lenzo}}) as one of his [[Legendary Pictographs]]. In the original, he sells the pictograph for 50 [[Rupee]]s; in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD|The Wind Waker HD]]'', he sells it for 150 Rupees. In both games he sells this pictograph while the moon is in its first quarter phase. Also, this pictograph only becomes available after Link has encountered Laruto in a cutscene.
