Upstairs, in Impa's house, within Paya's bedroom, there is a diary that hints at Paya being attracted to Link.{{Ref|''Master Link himself looks so gallant... He is the very picture of the hero I always imagined. His blond sideburns flow like a golden waterfall over his dignified, pointy ears. And the way his hair is so perfectly parted to the side, wow! I don't know why, but my heart won't stop beating a mile a minute... (...) I spoke to Grandmother about what's been weighing on my mind lately. For the first time...my heart knows what it means to love. Though it may be a love that is never shared or returned, just having it for myself is gift enough. Seeing him brings me great joy... I bet he has that effect on everyone. I have only gratitude toward him for showing me what it's like to feel this way about someone.'' - '''Paya's Diary - Pages 2 and 6'''}} | Upstairs, in Impa's house, within Paya's bedroom, there is a diary that hints at Paya being attracted to Link.{{Ref|''Master Link himself looks so gallant...

===Trivia=== | |||
*In spite of her somewhat menial tasks, Paya is assumed to be the individual who will inherit the oral traditions of the Sheikah and the tribe's main lore keeper and folklorist, effectively being an understudy and pupil of her grandmother [[Impa#Breath of the Wild|Impa]], basically an apprentice (hence why she is tasked with the upkeep and cleaning of her grandmother's house). | |||
*As shown in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'', a century before the events of ''Breath of the Wild'', Impa's youth appearance was nearly identical to that of Paya's, only that Impa's facial tattoos are blue/purple, and Impa's hair was longer and tied near to the end. | |||
*It's not known whether Paya followed her grandmother's martial arts pursuit as shown in ''Age of Calamity'', but her status as a shy bookworm heavily suggests that this isn't the case. Said game also states that Impa practiced martial arts voluntarily, as it had nothing to do with her tasks, implying that this may have been an option for Paya too. | |||
==''Tears of the Kingdom''== | |||
{{TotK-Stub}} | |||
After Impa's retirement, Paya was promoted to be Chief of Kakariko Village, with [[Dorian]] as her assistant. | |||
