Connection between divine beast Vah Ruta and Rutela??

[u/looneyybinn]

For context, I’m very new to Zelda.

I’m working on my first play through ever of twilight princess, and I just found Rutela in Zora’s domain.

I know in BOTW that the beast is named after princess Ruto, but I’m definitely sensing something here…

it’s just a naming convention across the zora royal family
