Hi,

I love these groups...



These are my favorite people who draw Rito!



Jennalee here. Unique name I know. I used to be a deviantart, about 2 or 3 years ago and deleted my account way back.

I used to play the very old Zelda games and recently took a long break from college and decided to look into what kind of Zelda games may have come after Ocarina of Time.. I had played Majora's Mask but became uninterested in Zelda back when I got out of school and started collage, and saw just a glimps of the Windwaker. My first sight of the new link was at the Mall and I thought he looked abstract or like a cartoon and that was that..

Untill...I had alot of time on my hands and so one day I went to Canada to see my brother and his family, they own a gamecube and the Windwaker.. I thought.. oh yeah, the new Zelda game right?

I immidiately started a file... I was only going to be there for 2 days though...so I bought a memory card and started playing, though I didn't want all my time with my brother and nephews to be taken by my playing thier game and hogging their TV so I just let them show me.

As I played the game, I noticed that the cartoon graphics were ok and that it actually went well with what was going on, and it grew on me quickly.

Just as I started to get bored though intrigued by having to sit on the talking boat and sail to far places, I found myself to a new Island and the king dropped in my hands the wind baton...I became the windwaker...and so he told me of a people I shall meet and a problem they have.. all fine and well.............so I run around jump around, figure out what I have to do to go anywhere..................put blocks where they should be and on my way I am....

So here I go up to the Dragon Roost Post Office...."oh wait who's that!" Oh! It's that strikingly interesting man with the white hair-do and a beak and very well fitted threads hehe...cool! So this guy is a Rito....lets go see the tribe!

OH WOW!! HOT! FLYING! BIRDPEOPLE! What is it that makes me so obsessed and why aren't there more people seeing this unusual take on zelda hybrids being attractive...so why am I so attracted!

Maybe it has to do something with a guy I used to like who resembled them a bit...or maybe their similarities with my American Indian Heritage (My mother is a full-blood member of the Ojibwa band of indians in Canada)....Or is it just the all around culture that seems in touch with Ancient Elements and Spirituality. Or maybe it's the fact that tall, dark and handsome is majestically equipt with a flying ability...I don't know. I assure you it's not mere infatuation...but I'm not denieing my immense infatuation, lol!

So when I came home, I looked for a special deal on the game with a gamecube and I contenued my file, completeing the game and being more intrigued and down right obsessed than ever.

I'd like to discuss the rito tribe.......being this is an art site, I searched for them here after I remembered there might be Rito Fan Peoples. I haven't found any other forum type website with discussion of the Rito...and haven't really looked because their woulnd't be art...just long self created RPGs that have nothing to do with the Rito and how they are.

Does anyone know what the heck those previous bird people in a Zelda manga was about? Or if they were official and/or created by Mr. Miyamoto and not the actual manga artist? Do you know if it was Mr. Miyamoto himself who disigned the Ritos?? Or just some random person who was hired to help design the WindWaker...

Thanks if you welcomely welcome me and I'd love to hear everyone/anyones comments.

BTW - Is Namali Taken?? Well I don't think he is because he's my Avarage Joe Rito! Yup!
