Revali

is a recurring character in.

Personality
Revali is known for his arrogant, sardonic outward personality, which is especially apparent when around BotW:. He is often boastful about his capabilities and is often unwilling to admit defeat when he gets bested by an opponent, claiming he wasn’t trying his best such as when he was defeated by BotW:, where he claimed he was “only winging it”. His resentment towards Link is due to envy of his higher position as well as his lack of expression rubbing him the wrong way.

In the Champion Revali's Song cutscene, EX Recovered Memory, it is revealed that Revali's abrasive and reserved persona is frequently used to cope with his insecurities. He berates himself after a failed attempt at mastering his signature move, and calls Zelda out for witnessing his vulnerable side before putting his smug and confident barriers back up.

Biography
100 years prior to the events of, Revali was the Champion of the Rito tribe. He was known as the most skilled archer of all the Rito and could fire Arrows with the speed of a gale. Revali has the ability to create an impressive updraft that allows him to soar, later named Revali's Gale after him. His weapon was the Great Eagle Bow.

Revali was present during the ritual of Princess Zelda making Link her appointed knight in Link's first Recovered Memory. After Daruk commented on the depressing delivery of Zelda's speech, Revali reminds Daruk that the "ceremonial pomp, grandeur, and nonsense" was his idea in the first place. Revali then states his disapproval of Link until Urbosa tells him to stop.

Later on, in Link's second Recovered Memory, Link visits Rito Village. Revali confronts Link and openly admits that despite wanting to stop Ganon, he does not like the idea of merely assisting Link just because he wields the Master Sword. Revali believes he is more skilled than the young hero. After gloating about how his abilities are superior, Revali suggests they compete one on one atop the BotW:. Revali then mocks Link for not even being able to make it there on his own and soars upward to Medoh.

In Link's 15th Recovered Memory, Revali was seen with the rest of the Champions meeting Link and Zelda after her time in the Spring of Wisdom on Mount Lanayru. Minutes later, there was a loud rumble and Revali flew into the air to discover that Calamity Ganon had finally awakened. At Daruk's command, he and the rest of the Champions hastened to their Divine Beasts. Despite his best efforts, Revali was defeated by Windblight Ganon. Like the rest of the Champions, his spirit was imprisoned within the corrupt Divine Beast for the next century.

Unlike the other 3 Champions, Revali does not have any known relatives or descendants. He was succeeded by Teba as the protector of Rito Village.

After Link's victory over Windblight Ganon, Revali is freed and gains a grudging respect for the hero. He thanks and congratulates Link on succeeding where he has failed and acknowledges Link as a warrior worthy of Revali's Gale. After Link leaves, Revali flies Medoh, landing on top of the giant stone perch above Rito Village. He sets Medoh's sights on Hyrule Castle.

After Calamity Ganon is defeated for good, Revali's spirit perches atop of Hyrule Castle with his fellow Champions and King Rhoam, bidding farewell to Link and Zelda before departing for the afterlife.

Revali appears as an Advanced Spirit in.

In, HWAoC:'s village had suffered continuous attacks from monsters led by the mysterious Malice infected Dimunitive Guardian which Revali and his army had barely managed to hold off. As a result, the Rito have since been on high alert for any Guardian activity. Upon receiving a report about a similar Guardian, Revali was annoyed and orders them to attack immediately. Revali swears that he will defend the very village he was born in before using Revali's Gale to soar. He first attacks HWAoC:'s party after mistaking HWAoC: for HWAoC:, the one that had brought a horde of monsters to attack HWAoC:. Upon confrontation, HWAoC: and HWAoC: start to fight, but HWAoC: stops them just before they are about to kill each other. After this battle, HWAoC: explains what happened that led him and his army to attack them. Zelda is relieved that neither Link nor Revali were harmed, regardless. Impa is interested on the topic about a Guardian similar to Terrako. Revali accepts his call to pilot Divine Beast Vah Medoh to counter Calamity Ganon, before turning his attention to another person as he walks over to him. He expresses skepticism about Link's role as Zelda's appointed knight as well as his being chosen to face Ganon directly, as he saw HWAoC: as his rival. Terrako suddenly whistles, startling everyone including Revali, and Impa explains that Terrako dubbed itself a knight in Zelda's service as well, much to Revali's astonishment, but he scoffs it off He behaves quite derisively toward the other champions save for HWAoC:, whom he genuinely seems to respect, though HWAoC: dislikes his harsh treatment of HWAoC:.
