The {{Name|Retrieval of Ilia's Memory}} is a particular task in {{TP}} that operates due to the aftermath of the Ordon child abductions by [[King Bulblin]] and his troupe. After the children quickly quarantine themselves from their pursuers inside [[Renado]]'s house in [[Kakariko Village]], [[Ilia]], the eldest, is reported to have taken shelter in [[Telma's Bar]], a pub within the confines of [[Hyrule Castle Town]]. When [[Link]] finally finds her after visiting with the other children in Kakariko Village, he realizes she now suffers from severe memory loss as a product of her abduction. The events of this quest take place after completing the [[Temple of Time#Appearances|Temple of Time]] and having found the third [[Mirror Shard]].  

*[[Sanctuary (Twilight Princess)|Renado's sanctuary]]

Upon approaching Hyrule Castle, Link receives a letter from [[Renado]], who asks him to return to [[Kakariko Village]]. Once there, Renado explains that [[Telma]]'s friend [[Shad]] has been researching the heavens and is currently in the basement of the [[Sanctuary (Twilight Princess)|sanctuary]]. He states that when Ilia was saved, she overheard someone talking about the [[Dominion Rod|rod of the heavens]] and it would be useful to work their way backward from the very place [[Ilia]] first lost her memory, implying that Telma may know something. Renado then gives Link a [[Renado's Letter|letter]] to give to Telma, detailing how to treat Ilia to get her memory back.

Link then heads to [[Telma's Bar]]. Handing over the letter, Telma mentions that is was the town doctor, [[Borville]], who first brought Ilia to her pub. Aware of Borville's uncooperative nature, Telma gives Link the [[Invoice]], which illustrates the money owed to her by Borville. Link then heads to the medical clinic located on the {{exp|GCN version; West in the Wii version|East}} Road of [[Hyrule Castle Town|Castle Town]]. Inside, after showing Borville the Invoice, he mentions a [[Wooden Statue|carving]] that was once in Ilia's possession; he tells that he had spilled medicine over the statue, which made it "stink awfully", prompting him to place it outside to dry. Unfortunately, it was stolen. Borville then proceeds to go back to work. Exploring the clinic, Link is able to uncover the [[Medicine Scent]] by pushing aside a crate. Inside the clinic, Link is able to transform into a [[Wolf Link|wolf]] in order to learn the new scent. It guides back to [[Louise]], Telma's cat, who informs Link that she stole it but was attacked by a pack of [[Stalhound|Stalhounds]], who took the statue and can be found at the southern gate, but only at nighttime.  

After Link defeats the Stalhounds and acquires the Wooden Statue, he heads back to [[Kakariko Village]]. Upon receiving the statue, Ilia recovers "part" of her memory. [[Gor Coron]], who began to accompany Renado some time ago, recognizes the statue as that of an [[Sheikah|ancient tribe that protected the Hylian Royal Family]]. He marks the location of the [[Hidden Village|village]] on Link's map and asks [[Darbus]] to unveil the entrance that was covered by a rock-slide. Before entering, Darbus warns Link that the village is infested with enemies. In order to proceed, Link must defeat 20 [[Bulblin|Bulblins]]. After the battle, an old woman exits her house at the far end of the village. She introduces herself as [[Impaz]], the only remaining resident of the Hidden Village and a descendant of the Sheikahs. She recognizes Link from Ilia's tales and proceeds to give him [[Horse Call|Ilia's Charm]]. Link receives this item, then goes back to Kakariko Village and shows the object to Ilia. After a short sequence, Ilia regains her full memory and gives back the Horse Call as a reward (interestingly, Link was going to receive this item the day he was going to deliver the [[Ordon Sword]] in [[Hyrule Castle Town]]; in fact this is the item Ilia was making the day she asked her father, [[Bo]], to allow everybody ''except Link'' to meet her inside her house, as the Horse Call was intended to be a surprise gift for him).
