It is small, out-of-the-way hangout located down the southernmost alleyway of the [[Hyrule Castle Town]] [[South Road]]. It is reputed to be popular amongst soldiers and traveling swordsmen alike.<ref>{{cite|If you want to get to the bar, use | ||

== | ==History== | ||
[[ | Link first visits Telma's Bar while the [[Lanayru Province]] is covered in [[Twilight]]. Here, he finds that Ilia has been staying with Telma after [[King Bulblin]] kidnapped her from the [[Ordona Province]], and has been caring for the injured [[Prince Ralis]], whom she found collapsed in the road and brought him to the bar.<ref name=ilia/> After returning light to the area, Link arrives at the bar just in time to witness that the [[Dr. Borville|town doctor]] refuses to treat Prince Ralis, saying that [[Zora]]s are beyond his expertise.<ref>{{cite|That is a Zora child! This is beyond my expertise! Hmmmph!|Doctor Borville|Twilight Princess}}</ref> Just then, Telma is then reminded of a [[Renado|shaman]] in [[Kakariko Village]] who has treated both Zoras and [[Goron]]s, and after the [[Hylian Soldier]]s cowardly refuse to escort them to the [[Eldin Province]], Telma notices that Link is up to the task.<ref>{{cite|That old coot reminded me, though... I've heard of a shaman in Kakariko Village, in the Eldin lands, who's tended Gorons and Zoras.|Telma|Twilight Princess}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Looks like we've got one young swordsman left! And not only that, but it looks like this brave young man will escort us, so get ready to go, honey. Pronto!|Telma|Twilight Princess}}</ref> Although Link tries to talk to Ilia in the bar, Telma informs him that the young girl has lost her memory.<ref name=ilia>{{cite|You know that girl, don't you? It's a real shame... She can't even remember her own name right now. Bless her heart... She found this poor boy collapsed in the road, so she did all she could to save him.|Telma|TP}}</ref> | ||
If Link enters the bar after taking Telma, Ilia, and Prince Ralis to Kakariko Village, "The Group" will be inside, but will treat him harshly.<ref>{{Cite|...Are you an actor or something?Dressing like the legendary hero... Wow, gutsy. If you want to get stared at, why not just join the circus or something?|[[Ashei]]|Twilight Princess}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Oh... Are you a costumer? The proprietress is out, so the bar is closed... Did you not see the sign outside? Would you mind leaving for now?|[[Auru]]|Twilight Princess}}</ref> After [[Zant]] steals the [[Fused Shadow]]s and curses both Link and [[Midna]], the young hero must traverse the loft of the bar as a [[Wolf Link|wolf]] in order to access the Castle Town Sewers and reach [[Princess Zelda]] to save the dying Midna, where he will be able to overhear "The Group" talking about him and considering apologizing for their previous behavior.<ref>{{Cite|I suppose I should apologize when I see him next... I'd hate for him to resort to fisticuffs or some such!|[[Shad]]|Twilight Princess}}</ref> | |||
Once Link withdraws the [[Master Sword]] from the [[Sacred Grove]], Telma will send Link a letter informing him that her friends have arrived. Here, the members of "The Group" will properly introduce themselves and apologize for their behavior.<ref>{{cite|...Sorry about the ribbing I gave you the other day, old boy. This town is rather teeming with odd sorts, so I was just being careful...|Shad|Twilight Princess}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|...Listen, sorry I was so nasty the other day. I thought you were like those sorry excuses for Hyrule soldiers...but I thought wrong...|Ashei|Twilight Princess}}</ref> Each of them will also help him locate a different piece of the [[Mirror of Twilight]], and the young hero will be able to come back to the bar at any time to receive clues from them as to where to go next for the missing mirror shards. | |||
Later on in the game, Link must once again return to the bar and show Telma [[Renado|Renado's]] letter, which details how to help [[Retrieval of Ilia's Memory|recover Ilia's memory]]. Telma then gives the [[Invoice]] to the young hero that he must give to the Dr. Borville. | |||
The bar is last seen during the ending credits, where the [[Castle Guard]]s will be celebrating now that Hyrule is at peace. | |||
