Biography
Prince Komali is known to be rather shy and with very little confidence in himself. As such, his grandmother was always with him, giving him the strength and courage that he needed as well as comforting him in his time of need. His grandmother, having received Din's Pearl from the sky spirit known as Valoo, gave the precious gem to his grandson as a gift. However, due to unknown reasons, Komali's grandmother passed away not long before Link arrived on Dragon Roost Island. Soon after, Lord Valoo begins to go on a rampage, thus preventing young Rito (Komali included) from reaching him to receive the scale that allows them to grow their wings. Overwhelmed by all these events, Prince Komali shuts himself off from the rest of the world and refuses to go visit the Sky Spirit for his scale. It is then that Link meets Komali's father, who asks that Link share some of the young hero's courage to his son as well as delivering a letter of encouragement written by the chieftain.

When Link meets Prince Komali, he treats him with a cold and negative attitude, still unwilling to listen to any voice of comfort that anyone tries to give him. He's rather reluctant to listen to anything that Link has to say, calling him a liar for saying that the young hero could calm Lord Valoo down. However, Prince Komali does mention that if Link finds someone that can get past all the obstacles on Dragon Roost to get to Valoo, then he will hear whatever words he has to say. The prince also refuses to give Din's Pearl to Link, explaining that the pearl is the only thing that calms him down.

After Link defeats Gohma and relieves Valoo of his pain, the young Ritos are finally able to receive their wings again. Prince Komali, impressed by Link's courage, decides to bestow upon the young hero Din's Pearl, saying that giving away what he values the most will give him the courage he needs. Prince Komali then promptly departs to receive the scale from Valoo in order to obtain his pair of wings, abruptly saying good-bye to Link.

The young Rito prince, along with Quill, make a rather opportune appearance just as Ganondorf is ready to abolish Link and Tetra in the Forsaken Fortress. The two Ritos quickly fly through there and take them away by grabbing Link and Tetra with their talons, saving them just before Valoo unleashes a blast of fire at Ganondorf's viewing platform.

Prince Komali can be then seen again shortly after Medli is awakened as the new Sage of Earth by Link. Once Medli regains her consciousness after she fainted, she sees Komali flying high above from where Link and Medli are standing, where she mentions that she only wishes for Prince Komali to remember her as a simple attendant and not as the new Sage of Earth. As such, Link and Medli quickly leave for the Earth Temple before the Rito prince is able to notice them. Komali then flies down to the cliff where Medli was earlier, only to see that she seems to have disappeared.

Link can later return to see Prince Komali as a more mature, courageous young Rito possessing a whole different attitude than before, as well as a new wardrobe. He can be seen standing near the entrance of Dragon Roost holding a flower, where he asks Link if he's seen Medli and wonders if something has happened to her. He goes on to show Link the flower he picked for Medli, wanting to surprise the young Rito girl with it, but is disappointed when he notices she's gone. The flower eventually wilts, and Prince Komali regrets not having had the chance to see the joy on Medli's face upon seeing the flower. Still holding the flower, Komali continues to worry about Medli's whereabouts, heavily hinting the prince's deep affection towards Medli.

Prince Komali makes a final appearance during the ending credits. When both Link and Tetra have surfaced from the flooding Hyrule, the Rito prince flies towards them just before Tetra's ship sails in.
