Ardipithecus—Ardi for short.

It is appalling that this genocide is not only ongoing but that it's been happening at all. Something must be done to stop this madness. More international pressures, heavy sanctions, arrests—anything!

*Qia (キア) is the Zora princess in Japanese, but queen in the official localization. This could be due to a transcription/translation error.
Jyō (女王) is "queen," while Ōjyo (王女) is "princess" in this context.

New character reveals for the upcoming #HyruleWarriors: #AgeofImprisonment include Agraston the Goron chief (Sage of Fire), Qia the Zora queen* (Sage of Water), Raphica the Rito elder (Sage of Wind), Ardi the Gerudo warrior (Sage of Lightning).✨️

Who are you most excited to meet on November 6th?

It's still definitely done with Mii creator.

The Internet is a useful resource. DeepL, Jisho.org, and Yomichan are all top-quality translation tools.

They aren't yet localized, so we only have the original Japanese kana and the romanized readings.

Āgasuta, Kia, Kurafika, Ardi, Ranaria

アーガスタ is the Goron sage of Fire. キア is the Zora sage of Water. クラフィカ is the Rito sage of Wind. アルディ is the Gerudo sage of Lightning. And ラナリア is the chamberlain who attended to Princess Zelda.

Alone, アーガス is typically read as "Argus," so there's precedent there. The addition of the タ at the end could be read as just a "T" or as "Ta."

It's "アーガスタ", so it could be either. Though the long vowel marker (second character, the horizontal line) often indicates an "er" sound in localization. E.g., マスターソード becomes "Master Sword." So my money's on Argust.

Everything on YouTube is being monitored by an AI algorithm. It implements actions on the fly based on several different factors—and it makes a lot of mistakes. More mistakes than a team of people who ought to be moderating and checking their work.

Rauru

One of the last remaining Zonai, he descended to the Surface world with his sister, Mineru. With his powers of Light, he joined with a Hylian named Sonia to clear the Surface world of demons and later formed Hyrule Kingdom. He possesses a Secret Stone of the Zonai that boosts his powers.

After all, we're told that the Zonai population faced some imminent threat and declined rapidly, and it's suggested that war over control of sacred power (the secret stones) could be the culprit (Tears of the Kingdom Master Works, P.380).

The Era of Chaos (wherein these magic wielders were sealed away) precedes the founding of Hyrule Kingdom. So there may yet be a connection.

Through careful observation of the lore pertaining to Hyrule's ancient peoples, sky civilizations, Goddess Hylia, and more—from passages in the Historia, Encyclopedia, and Master Works publications all corroborated by in-game evidence—I am confident when I say that the Zonai origins are now known.

Come on a journey with me as we uncover the history of the Zonai and their relationship with the Goddess Hylia, as well as the Hylians as a whole.
