Ilia

Ilia is an attractive young woman of about 16 years, who lives in Ordon Village. She is the mayor's (Bo's) daughter. She keeps a close eye on Colin and appears to view it as her duty to keep him out of trouble. Ilia is one of Link's closest friends. She is also extremely close with nature and heals Epona when she is hurt at the beginning of the game. Ilia is the daughter of the mayor, but would rather spend time in the wild. A while into the game, she is hit with an arrow and kidnapped along with Colin by a group of enemies, which leads into Link trying to rescue her. Link eventually locates her in Hyrule Castle Town, but when she sees him, it is apparent that she does not recognize him. Telma reveals that Ilia has lost her memory and cannot even remember her own name. She has been taking care of Prince Ralis who she had found. Telma had taken them in and was helping Ilia care for the Prince. Telma says that Ilia has a lot of courage and that Link should share his courage with her.

Before she arrives in Hyrule Castle Town, she is held captive with Impaz by some Bulblins in the Hidden Village. Impaz helps her to escape and in return she gives her the Horse Whistle, a whistle in the shape of Horse Grass that can be used to summon Epona. Ilia was apparently locked in her room at the beginning of the game making this item for Link but never got the chance to give it to him.

Renado looks after her in Kakariko Village, before Link restores her memory and she stays there for a while afterwards. After her memory is restored, she gives Link the Horse Call (which is the item that jogs her memory), saying that she made it for him and was going to give it to him before he left.

Restoring Ilia's memory forms a vital part of the quest to reach the City in the Sky.

Ilia is one of three possible love interests for Link in the game. At the end of twilight princess, it seems as if Ilia is the girl that Link ends up with. Having never developed a strong relationship with Zelda, and Midna had gone back to her home in the Twilight Realm, Link seems to go back to the girl he was with from the beginning. This would be true if it wasn't that Link rides away with Epona from Ordon Village, at the end of the game; this gives the idea that Link will no longer see anyone from his hometown.

Ilia is a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
