Rito Chieftain

The Rito Chieftain is the leader of the Rito in The Wind Waker, and father of Prince Komali. The chieftain is a very inspiring leader to the Rito people. Because of his duty to the Rito society, he must be at times demanding, but caring to his son. It is he who gave Link the task of helping the Rito patriarch, Valoo.

Once Link arrives on Dragon Roost Island, the Rito Chieftain states that he would love to help Link on his quest, as it is his duty, but the Rito people are currently in a crisis. Since Valoo is in an angry state, none of the new Rito can acquire the scale needed for them to grow wings. This has the potential to harm the tribe, so the Chieftain must attend to this issue before Link's issue. The Chieftain asks that Link talk to his son and convince him to be brave throughout the crisis and in getting his scale.

Unfortunately, Prince Komali refuses to talk to Link until he has cleared Dragon Roost Cavern, so Link is unable to aid the Chieftain without first helping Valoo. He is always accompanied by his bodyguards Skett and Akoot.
