Telma

trocsitdr Telma is a woman in Twilight Princess who owns a bar in Castle Town. She tries her hardest to help Ilia when she arrives there with the Doctor. She also tries to help when Ilia finds the Zora Prince. After Link comes back to the bar as a human and finding Ilia and the Zora Prince, Telma speaks about a shaman in Kakariko Village who may be able to help. The three of them take the prince and set off to the village. At the village, you leave both Ilia and the Zora Prince in his care. Telma has a little thing for Renado, but he does not seem all that fond of her in return, stating at one point that he 'cannot abide her company'. Telma also seems to have a rather low opinion of the Hylian Soldiers, more than once stating how ineffective and cowardly they are.



Later on in the game, you can return to her bar, where a group of four adventurers sit at a table and try to figure out about the different things happening around Hyrule. The table also contains a map which labels where you need to go for the dungeons which house the Mirror of Twilight shards. Telma sometimes helps with your quest; aside from displaying great bravery in driving the caravan to Kakariko (see image below right) in order to aid the Prince Ralis, she later gives you an Invoice to show the doctor, which will ultimately help Ilia recover her memory.

It is noted that she strongly resembles the Gerudo women of past titles, possibly hinting that the reason for their absence from Twilight Princess is that they integrated with the Hylian culture. This is purely speculation, however, as the Gerudos could simply be in a deeper part of the desert that is unexplored in the game.

She also has a cat, Louise, who helps you. She leads you to Jovani, and the tower that Zelda is held captive in. The cat also steals a wooden figure that Ilia had. Telma and her cat's name strongly resemble the title of the movie Thelma & Louise. A little joke Nintendo made to probably deem the two as Unseparable.
