Malanya

is a recurring character in.

BotW: is the god who watches over the NaN Horses of the world. He makes his home in the BotW: BotW: in BotW:, near the BotW:. While he has a strange sense of humor about reviving NaN Horses, he will not harm those who truly care for them.

When first visited, BotW: is found trapped inside the bud of his BotW:. He begs BotW: to listen to his story. If BotW: agrees, BotW: introduces himself and asks if he has ever lost one of his NaN Horses. BotW: claims that if his power is restored, he will be able to help BotW:. In order to regain his power, BotW: requires 1,000 NaN Rupees. His hand will appear from inside the bud, and he will ask BotW: to hand over his NaN Rupees.

If BotW: agrees to the payment, BotW: will thank him. BotW: will then open, and BotW:'s power will be restored. BotW: himself then emerges from the BotW:, and he remarks on how free he feels. He recognizes BotW: as the one who set him free. BotW: then properly introduces himself to BotW:, explaining he presides over the NaN Horses of the world. Since BotW: helped, BotW: believes he should grant BotW: a reward. BotW: considers eating him for a meal, which causes BotW: to take on a defensive stance. However, BotW: reveals that he is joking.

BotW: explains that if one of BotW:'s NaN Horses is killed, he will be able to revive it. This only works on NaN Horses that have been registered at a BotW:. He warns BotW: that if he believes the BotW:'s death was by his own hands, he will be subject to his wrath. Claiming to be joking once again, BotW: takes a look at BotW:'s NaN Horses.

On subsequent visits to BotW:, BotW: will recognize BotW: when he emerges from the BotW:. He asks BotW: why he has returned, and he takes a look at BotW:'s NaN Horses to ensure their wellbeing.

Should BotW: not have any dead NaN Horses, BotW: claims that all seems well. If BotW: has a high bond with one of his NaN Horses, BotW: notes that they have an extraordinary friendship. He reminds BotW: that his NaN Horses care for him, just as he does for them.

Alternatively, if BotW: does not have any NaN Horses registered when he speaks to BotW:, he will be shocked. BotW: cannot imagine going through life without a BotW:, but he supposes this is how BotW: lives his life. He is unable to do anything to help those who have decided to avoid NaN Horses. However, if BotW: ever does befriend a BotW: that later dies, BotW: tells him to come see him.

If one of BotW:'s NaN Horses has died, BotW: will be able to tell. In anger, he threatens to end BotW:. He quickly calms down, revealing this to be another joke, and he asks BotW: if he would like the BotW: to be revived. If BotW: agrees, BotW: will ask him to choose among his deceased NaN Horses. Depending on how BotW:'s BotW: died, BotW: will have differing reactions to BotW:'s request.

If BotW:'s BotW: died to a BotW:, BotW: will be moved by how well it served its master. However, BotW: becomes angry that BotW: was not able to control his BotW: well enough to save its life. BotW: then claims to be joking, and he asks BotW: if he is certain he wants to revive this BotW:.

If BotW:'s BotW: died due to an explosion, BotW: will be saddened by its manner of death. While he does not want to cast unwarranted doubt on BotW:, he wonders if he actually killed his BotW:. However, BotW: decides this could not be, and he asks BotW: again if he wants to revive the BotW:.

If BotW:'s BotW: was killed by him, BotW: will be shocked. He asks BotW: if he only wants to revive his BotW: so he can kill it again, and he accuses BotW: of thinking of NaN Horses only as tools that can be discarded. BotW: claims that if he were a BotW:, he would kick BotW: in the chest. After claiming to be joking again, BotW: asserts that BotW: likely struck his BotW: on accident, and he asks for confirmation that BotW: would like to revive his "temporarily betrayed" friend.

If BotW:'s BotW: died in any other manner, BotW: will call it an accident, which he assures BotW: happen sometimes. He claims that the BotW: knows that its death was not BotW:'s intention, and he asks BotW: if he is certain that this is the BotW: he wants to revive.

When BotW: once again confirms his decision to revive his BotW:, BotW: will then attempt to bring it back. He will then wave his hands in the air and spin his head, after which the selected BotW: will appear nearby. After this, BotW: proclaims that he was successful in reviving the BotW:. In the future, BotW: reminds BotW: to take good care of his NaN Horses, as they are supposed to be partners. He warns BotW: that he will regret it if he is careless with them. BotW: claims that he is only joking for now. At the end of their conversation, BotW: will collapse and fall back into his BotW:.

When BotW: makes another visit to BotW:, BotW: will be shocked that he has come back to revive another BotW:. He explains that he only helped BotW: for free the first time due to the fact that he freed him, but he is too busy to always be available to him. However, BotW: reveals that if BotW: were to bring him something, he would continue to revive his NaN Horses. At BotW:'s confusion, BotW: reveals that he needs NaN Endura Carrots, which he has only eaten once. When BotW: hands over an BotW:, BotW: will agree to revive one of his NaN Horses.

Malanya has moved to a new spring in Akkala, just north of Bloodleaf Lake; Link must give him an Endura Carrot in order for him to come out of his spring. In addition to resurrecting dead horses in exchange for roasted Endura Carrots, Malanya will now offer to enhance a horse's stats if given a cooked meal. However, he cannot enhance the stats of special horses such as Epona.

In, Malanya appears in one variation of the NaN Great Fairies' Weak Point Smash, where he summons an army of Horses to trample the enemy.

In the "Shimmering Horseshoe" HWAoC:, it is revealed he joined the battle at the request of the four sisters, and receives a horseshoe pendant as an offering in return. He is also mentioned in the "Lushify the Spring" Quest as appearing pleased by having more visitors due to added plants around the NaN Great Fairy Fountains.
