[Yes, he's concerned about Zelda herself, but he also does genuinely want to know about Hyrule and everything that's happened since the Calamity's apparent defeat. That was the real point of their stand against Calamity Ganon, after all. There would be little point of Hyrule didn't take the chance to thrive after their victory.

It's strange to imagine a dormant Death Mountain, not to mention hearing of Zelda's shift toward leadership, whether she realizes what she's saying or not. Zelda was so rarely confident in herself before everything went wrong, and hearing that she's personally helped take up the mantle to restore the Kingdom, seemingly not just because it's another burden on her she's expected to carry out, is refreshing to hear.

But of course, she's right; it's Rito Village more than the rest of the Kingdom that he cares about.]

From what I've seen of Teba, Rito Village is in good talons under his leadership. He has the right amount of courage to lead, whether he appreciates it or not.
