Biography

In Link's journey to meet with the leader of the Gerudo, he learns that men are forbidden from entering Gerudo Town. If Link speaks to Benja outside Gerudo Town, he will tell Link that he heard of a man who snuck into Gerudo Town and that he is waiting to see this man in order to find out how he was able to infiltrate the Town.[12] This initiates the "Forbidden City Entry" Main Quest, directing Link to the Kara Kara Bazaar in search of this rumored man.[13] After this, Vilia will appear atop the General Store at Kara Kara Bazaar, where she is dressed in traditional Gerudo vai clothing.[8] Speaking to Vilia, she will apologize to Link for being unable to assist in his search for a Hylian man who snuck into Gerudo Town.[14] Link is given the option to examine her face closer, which flusters her.[15] Link can accuse Vilia of being a man in disguise, which she will dismiss and consequently suggest that he leaves.[4] If Link talks to Vilia again after this, she reiterates that she does not know anything about a man in disguise.[16] If Link instead compliments her appearance, she will be flattered and offer to sell him a pair of Gerudo clothes.[17] Vilia will charge 600 Rupees for the full Gerudo Outfit and prompt Link to put them on immediately if he accepts the deal.[18][19]

After Link has donned the Gerudo Outfit, Vilia will squeal in excitement and assure him that nobody will suspect him to be a man while he wears it.[20] Vilia also explains that the Gerudo Outfit helps with the scorching Temperatures in the Gerudo Desert,[21] referring to its heat-resistant Set Bonus. Afterward, Vilia invites Link to enjoy a meal with her when he is free to do so.[22] A strong gust of wind blows away Vilia's Veil shortly afterward, revealing her face and shocking Link. Upon affixing the Veil to her face once more, she warns Link to watch out for the wind.[23] Bidding farewell, Vilia tells Link to come back any time if he wants more women's clothing.[24]

If Link talks to Vilia again, she will talk about the giant monster kicking up the sandstorm south of the Bazaar known as the Divine Beast Vah Naboris.[25] Vilia claims that it began wandering the Desert several weeks ago and wonders what it is.[26] Vilia informs Link that she also heard that the Gerudo Chief, Riju, is having trouble handling the situation and says that Gerudo Town would be helpless if the Divine Beast headed there.[27] Vilia then changes the subject, saying that Link looks adorable in the Gerudo clothes.[28] However, if Link speaks to Vilia without the full Gerudo Outfit on, she asks what happened to the outfit and questions Link's conviction to enter Gerudo Town.[29][30] Vilia warns Link that the guards will catch him quickly if he is not disguised and tells him not to be shy about wearing the Gerudo clothes.[31] Vilia then offers to sell each piece of the Gerudo Outfit separately for 200 Rupees each.[32][33][34][35] If Link attempts to purchase from Vilia without enough Rupees, she calls Link a tease for "toying with a lady's emotions".[3] Vilia then yells at Link, claiming that she can make him squeal,[36] only to quickly change her tone and offer to buy from Link if he needs money.[37]

Notes

  1. Vilia consistently refers to herself as a woman and responds negatively when accused of being a man,[3][4] indicating that Vilia is either a transgender woman or that Vilia assumes the persona of a woman in order to access Gerudo Town and denies any accusation which would jeopardize her ability to enter the Town. In either situation, Vilia is intended to be seen as a woman in the narrative. Consequently, Vilia is referred to with feminine pronouns throughout this article as this article concerns the given identity or persona of Vilia and not solely the man rumored to have infiltrated Gerudo Town.
    Specifically, Benja only hears of a supposed man who entered Gerudo Town without alerting the guards,[5] a rumor which spreads to his fellow merchants who (alongside everyone else who encountered Vilia) are unable to recognize Vilia as the culprit.[2][6][7][8][9] The only instance in-game in which Vilia is directly referred to with masculine pronouns outside of the context of Benja's rumor is by the second authorless Adventure Log entry for the "Forbidden City Entry" Main Quest.[10] Vilia is referred to with masculine pronouns in the supplementary book Breath of the Wild – Creating a Champion, though this does not supersede Breath of the Wild in canonicity.

But I've never seen anyone around here who strikes me as a super sneaky guy... There was that pretty Hylian gal at the general store. It's unusual to see a Hylian girl dressed like a Gerudo... Her Gerudo clothes—I wonder where she bought them... Maybe if I wore those clothes... Ha, nah. I'm so out of my element with all this sneaky stuff." — Robsten (Breath of the Wild)

  6. "You hear that a man somehow made his way into Gerudo Town? I haven't seen any suspicious guys around here, though... Although I did see a pretty Hylian gal wearing Gerudo clothes at the general store, which was unusual... I wonder if just wearing different clothes would allow someone... Ha! Never mind. No one would ever be that crazy!" — Robsten (Breath of the Wild)
  7. "[Suspicious vendors?] A suspicious merchant, huh... From my point of view, pretty much any merchant that isn't Gerudo looks suspicious, you realize? Still... Yeah, I can think of someone... That one vai merchant in full Gerudo garb... She frequents the general store a lot. I'm sure there must be more to her story. But what do I know? Plus, I'm not going to poke my nose in another's business." — Emri (Breath of the Wild)
  8. 8.0 8.1 "[There's this merchant...] Oh, yes. And many, many more than just one, to be sure. That's because all the voe merchants are gathered here, hoping to get access to Gerudo Town. They refuse to give up, even though voe are strictly forbidden from entering the town. Although... Now that you mention it, one merchant in particular did stand out to me. I saw a Hylian vai merchant at the inn before. She was wearing traditional Gerudo clothes, which caught my eye. She's probably still around town; that Divine Beast is scaring a lot of people out of traveling." — Ripp (Breath of the Wild)
  9. "[Seen a sneaky guy?] A sneaky what? You mean a voe, sneaking around town? I haven't seen anyone like that. There's a Hylian vai who likes to relax on the roof. Though in the afternoon, it's probably too hot up there." — Shaillu (Breath of the Wild)

I have learned only recently of a man that slipped into this well-guarded town! I heard that man is frequently traveling between Kara Kara Bazaar and Gerudo Town. I've been waiting here, trying to spot him as he travels! So I'm waiting for him. I plan on asking him how he pulls off his amazing infiltration. My plan is flawless!" — Benja (Breath of the Wild)
