Ilia

Ilia 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 Link’s horse when it is hurt jumping fences 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.

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 Whistle (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.
