There was actually a race of sentient bird-like people in long before the Rito existed. franchise in its entirety is sprawling, with a multitude of spin-off titles and associated media alongside the main game series. One largely ignored, but interesting aspect of the franchise is an avian race that has had a remarkable effect on the franchise despite its obscurity, and could have an even greater impact in the future.
Likely now best known for producing characters like Revali and Tulin,the Rito possess remarkably complex lore in canon. Originally met in, the then far more human-like Rito were an evolution of the Zora prompted by the Great Flood. Of course, in the specific canon of and , the Zora clearly still exist, so it is unclear if the game’s more varied and visibly bird-like Rito share this origin. Regardless, it is interesting to also note that the Rito are not the first flying people to inhabit Hyrule’s skies.
The Watarara are a nomadic race who appear solely in a bonus story for the manga adaptation of by Akira Himekawa. This story involves Link reuniting Rouru, son of the Watarara leader Elnora, with his mother after the young heir is separated from his flock. The Watarara have a unique culture in , and only visit Hyrule on a yearly basis as part of an annual migration. Notably, this unusual race has wings that grow from their arms as they mature, meaning that children cannot fly by themselves and must be carried by adults.
The Rito now being more distinctly avian is a change that simply moves them closer in aesthetic to their predecessors.
The Watarara growing their wings bears a notable similarity to the Rito of, who only gain their wings by visiting Valoo atop Dragon Roost Island and receiving a scale from the dragon when they come of age. However, this is far from a coincidence; according to an interview between Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and Himekawa (translated by ),the Rito were directly inspired by the Watarara, with the commonality between the two races being a direct result of this. Moreover, the Rito now being more distinctly avian is a change that simply moves them closer in aesthetic to their predecessors.
Visually, the Watarara are extremely similar to the Rito as seen in and , and as a result, could explain the race’s presence in Hyrule alongside the Zora. Specifically, this version of the Rito could have evolved from the Watarara, who decided to settle permanently in Hyrule, at some point permanently gaining their wings as well. Of course, this is only speculation, but their similarities do paint an intriguing possibility. Moreover, despite their manga origins, this doesn't mean that the Watarara can never reappear; in fact, the Watarara would have a lot to offer the next.

Bethesda has been making headlines left, right and centre for its video games recently. That's right, we simply can't stop talking about...Fallout! Yes, that series hasn't had a new release in many, many years, but thanks to Amazon's hit TV adaptation, has seen a renewed interest from fans.
While Xbox Game Pass is set to gain a selection of fantastic Day-One releases in the back half of April, subscribers may want to act fast to play the six games leaving the service in the coming weeks. To offset the amount of titles the platform offers, Microsoft always removes a handful of games whenever it brings in a new selection for players to experience.

Strawberries can be a valuable crop to grow in , but the way they function does raise questions about when it is best to plant their seeds.
