==Biography==

Komali is a [[Rito]] and the son of the [[Rito Chieftain]]. He lives in [[Dragon Roost Island]] and is destined to be the future leader of the Rito. He is also close friends with [[Medli]] and is the holder of [[Din's Pearl]]. Komali is known to be rather shy with very little confidence in himself. As such, his [[Komali's Grandmother|grandmother]] was always with him, giving him the strength and courage that he needed as well as comforting him in his time of need.<ref>{{Cite|However, his grandmother passed recently, and Komali seems lost. His confidence is...gone. His grandmother was always with him, you see.|Rito|TWW}}</ref> His grandmother, having received [[Din's Pearl]] from the sky spirit known as [[Valoo]], gave the precious gem to her grandson as a gift.<ref>{{Cite|It's so pretty, isn't it? It's called Din's Pearl. My grandma gave it to me.|Komali|TWW}}</ref> However, due to unknown reasons, Komali's grandmother passed away not long before [[Link]] arrived on [[Dragon Roost Island]].<ref>{{Cite|However, his grandmother passed recently, and Komali seems lost. His confidence is...gone.|Rito|TWW}}</ref> Soon after, Valoo begins to go on a rampage, thus preventing Komali from reaching him to receive the scale that allows him to grow his wings. Overwhelmed by all these events, Komali shuts himself out from the rest of the world and refuses to visit the Sky Spirit for his scale.<ref>{{Cite|What do you want from me, huh? I... I don't want to talk to anyone right now!|Komali|TWW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Let me be direct. My son, Komali, is of the age to earn his wings... Yet...he is weak, in some ways...and in light of the current situation, he may just give up on ever getting them...|Rito Chieftain|TWW}}</ref> It is then that Link meets Komali's father, who asks him to share some of his courage to his son as well as delivering a [[Father's Letter|letter]] of encouragement written by the chieftain.<ref>{{Cite|What say you? Will you share some of your courage with my son? [...] I have something I wish for you to give to my son. A young girl named Medli is holding it for me. Would you find her and take it?|Rito Chieftain|TWW}}</ref>

Komali and [[Quill]] make a rather opportune appearance just as [[Ganondorf]] is ready to abolish Link and [[Tetra]] in the [[Forsaken Fortress]]. The two Rito quickly fly through the viewing platform and take Link and Tetra away by grabbing them with their talons, saving them just before Valoo engulfs Ganondorf's tower in flames.

Link can later return to see Komali as a more mature, courageous young Rito possessing a whole different attitude than before, as well as a new wardrobe. He can be seen standing near the entrance of Dragon Roost holding a flower, where he asks Link if he has seen Medli and wonders if something has happened to her. He goes on to show Link the flower he picked for Medli, wanting to surprise her with it, but is disappointed when he notices she is gone.<ref>{{Cite|Link, you know Medli, don't you? I think something weird happened to her... It stinks, too, because I went to all the trouble of picking this flower to surprise her with! And now she's not around! Tell me if you spot Medli, will you?|Komali|TWW}}</ref> The flower eventually wilts and Komali regrets not having had the chance to see the joy on Medli's face upon seeing the flower. Still holding the flower, Komali continues to worry about Medli's whereabouts, heavily hinting at the prince's deep affection towards Medli.<ref>{{Cite|Link... My flower... It wilted... The joy on Medli's face when she saw this flower... I really wanted to see that... Medli... I wonder where she's gone...|Komali|TWW}}</ref>

==Nomenclature==

Komali's Japanese name, {{Romanize|コモリ|Komori}}, is likely derived from the Japanese word, {{Romanize|引きこもり|Hikikomori}}, which means "social withdrawal," reflecting his reclusive personality.
