Retrieval of Ilia's Memory

The Retrieval of Ilia's Memory is a particular plot diversion in that operates due to the aftermath of the Ordon child abductions by King Bulblin and his troupe. After the children quickly quarantine themselves from their persuers inside Renado's house in Kakariko Village, Ilia, the eldest, is reported to have taken shelter in Telma's Bar, a pub within the confines of Hyrule Castle Town. When Link goes to see her after visiting with the other children in Kakariko Village, he realizes she now suffers from severe memory loss as a product of her abduction. In order to restore her memory and complete the quest, Link must:


 * Obtain Renado's Letter from Renado explaining how to recover her memory, while in Kakario Village visiting the other children.
 * Trade Renado's Letter with Telma in her bar for the Invoice, which illustrates the money owed to Telma by the town doctor, Borville.
 * Give the Invoice to Borville, which coerces him into revealing that Telma's cat, Louise must have stolen the Wooden Statue, the object of which Ilia experienced her first memory after being released from Bulblin captivity.
 * After transforming into wolf form, talking to Louise will reveal that the Wooden Statue was stolen from her by a pack of Stalhounds.
 * After fighting the pack of Stalhounds in the field south of Hyrule Castle Town, they will give up the Wooden Statue.
 * Give the Wooden Statue to Ilia to retrieve her memory.

Unlike many sidequests in past Zelda titles, this plot diversion is required upon completion of the game; Ilia must be well in order for Link aid her and Telma in the transport of the sick Prince Ralis to Kakariko Village later on.
