Aya is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[3]

Biography

Breath of the Wild

Aya is a Stable Worker at the East Akkala Stable. She sits on a stool under the Tree next to a Blue Flame Pedestal at all hours of the day. When spoken to, she will seem depressed.[4] If Link asks her what is wrong, she quietly mutters about the Blue Flame.[5] Upon questioning, she will explain that her life has been dull since she got married, and she previously used to pass the time by staring at the Blue Flame.[2] However, she reveals that the director of the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab, Robbie, has not lit the Blue Flame Pedestals in a while.[6]

Link can offer to relight the Blue Flame, at which point Aya asks if he can retrieve it in under three minutes.[7] This initiates the Restoring the Blue Flame Mini-Game, in which Aya will charge Link 20 Rupees as a Horse-handling fee.[8] She does this because she does not see how else he could complete the challenge within the time limit.[9] She also makes a joke before sending Link out, pretending to count down and then telling Link this is what she will say before he leaves.[10] If Link returns the Blue Flame, Aya will be excited and give him a Purple Rupee as a reward.[11]

The next time the Blue Flame goes out, Aya will ask Link to bring it back in one minute.[12] After this is done, Aya will reward Link with a Silver Rupee. When the Blue Flame goes out a third time, Aya asks Link to relight the Blue Flame Pedestal in less than twenty seconds.[13] The reward for doing this is a Gold Rupee. On subsequent visits, however, she will only be able to give Link 20 Rupees.[14]

If the Blue Flame is extinguished while it is Raining, Aya will remark that Link should not retrieve it due to the poor weather.[15]

Aya is happier while the Blue Flame is lit. She asks Link if there is anything as pretty as the Blue Flame, but she does not think there is.[16] She also finds the Blue Flame to be soothing, and wants to know if Link thinks the same.[17] In addition, she will warn Link against putting it out,[18] grumbling angrily if he does so.[19]
