(Undid revision 385149 by Champion of Nayru (Talk) Zelda uses this father-daughter relationship a lot, this could be one of those cases.)
(Undid revision 385708 by SilverArcher (Talk) That doesn't make it notable. Mayor Bo is significantly differnet from Talon. Ilia is more based on Saria anyway. This trivia is irrelevant)

==Trivia==
*Bo and Ilia share many similarities with [[Talon]] and [[Malon]], two recurring characters from the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]]. As another father/daughter relationship, they both live in proximity to a farm and live very sedentary lives. Personally, Bo boasts facial hair reminiscent of Talon, and Ilia's love for [[Epona]] strongly connects her to Talon's daughter, Malon.

Template:Character Mayor Bo is a character in Twilight Princess.

Biography

File:Boofordon.png

Bo is the mayor of Ordon Village and father of Ilia.[1] He is first seen in very beginning of the game, found in front of the mayor's house by the road that leads up to Ordon Ranch. If Link speaks to him on his second or third day, it will trigger a sequence where a goat will come rushing down the road, and Link will have to wrestle it to the side in order to stop it.

Bo becomes instrumental to the Twilight Princess plot as Link reaches the base of Death Mountain after freeing the Light Spirit Eldin from its Twilight bindings in Kakariko Village. The Gorons on Death Mountain are far too brawny for Link to face unaided, for he does not possess enough physical strength to match that of a Goron.[2] Bo teaches Link the secrets of the art of sumo wrestling in his home, and tells him that he defeated the Goron patriarch in his day with a secret: the use of the Iron Boots.[3][4] As a gift, he gives the boots to Link, which ultimately helps him defeat Gor Coron, a Goron elder, in a sumo wrestling match up on Death Mountain, allowing him entrance into the Goron Mines. Later, when Link speaks to Gor Coron, he will say that it is fortunate that Ilia looks more like her mother instead of Bo.[5]
