Revali is a character in Breath of the Wild. He was the Champion of the Rito and pilot of Divine Beast Vah Medoh. His signature weapon was the Great Eagle Bow.

Appearances

Breath of the Wild

Revali once lived in Rito Village and was considered one of the best warriors of his race. Before Calamity Ganon's return, he was chosen by King Rhoam and Princess Zelda to become the Rito Champion and pilot of the Divine Beast Vah Medoh. He personally commissioned the construction of the Flight Range north of Rito Village in order to train Rito warriors, including the warrior Teba a century later.

Princess Zelda comes into the frigid mountain to visit Revali at the Flight Range when she sees him panting as he attempts to summon a column of wind to propel him upwards. However, he is caught in the wind, and he is tossed down again as he lets out a short scream. As Revali struggles to get back up, he goes hard on himself for failing to stay inside the whirlwind before he spots the watching princess and scolds her for eavesdropping. Zelda apologizes to him as she explains that the villages gave directions to his whereabouts. After Revali catches his breath, he figures that she needs him to become Divine Beast Vah Medoh's pilot to destroy Ganon which he accepts. Zelda was about to thank him before he interrupts and tries again to summon an updraft, this time managing to not get caught as he soars upwards. Revali makes a dive downward as he shoots arrows into three targets and upon landing on the ground, he summons a column of air again as he blows up the remaining targets in quick succession as Zelda watches in astonishment. After Revali lands on the fence, he tells her that he knows that he plays a role in helping a certain knight and tells her not to come crying to him in the event that this knight loses his confidence when seeing him in action.

When all four Champions have been summoned, Revali attends the Champions' inauguration ceremony alongside Link, Mipha, Daruk, and Urbosa where they are each given blue cloths. Revali wears his like a scarf. After the ritual is completed, the new Champions relax at the gazebo where Revali becomes intrigued in Princess Zelda's Sheikah Slate and takes it from her hands as the princess explains its functions while still trying to uncover more secrets. Revali then passes the slate to Mipha to allow her to have a look as Urbosa brings up a topic about the Sheikah Slate's Camera Rune which intrigues Mipha as she asks Zelda for a favor. Revali and the Champions are soon in a photoshoot where Purah instructs everyone to get together and when the results are more satisfactory, she takes the photo, but not before Daruk suddenly pulls everyone in at the last second.

Revali takes part in Link's personal ceremony with the Champions as the latter is becoming Zelda's personal knight, though he was bored through the whole process given Princess Zelda's abysmal tone during her speech. Daruk comments in disappointment on the depressing atmosphere which an annoyed Revali tells him that the ceremony was his idea and does agree that the whole scene is overkill and seems to relate to the princess in regard to their views on Link. Urbosa tells him to drop it as she explains that Link is a living reminder of her own failures, which is in Zelda's perspective anyway.

When Link and the princess pays a visit to Rito Village, the latter is already speaking with the Rito elder while Link meets with Revali, who makes a grand entrance with his signature move, Revali's Gale. He then starts to boast about his list of achievements, one of which is the creation of his gale he showed him and when properly used, they should easily be able to turn back Ganon. Revali hops off the fence as he encircles Link as he goes on the subject that despite the fact that he is among the most skilled archers of the Rito, he feels like his talents are being wasted when he is put on the spot where he is a mere supporter to him since Link possessed the Master Sword. He then offers an opening to prove him wrong and challenges Link to a duel and wonders where they will do it and then he points it up to Vah Medoh which is in the sky. Revali chuckles as he tells Link that he has no way of getting up there on his own as he flies off, sarcastically wishing him luck.

Later, Revali and the Champions see Link and Zelda returning from Mt. Lanayru where the princess had a despondent look on her face as Revali steps forward as he somberly asks if Zelda did not feel any power, which Zelda confirms that she didn't. Urbosa insists that they must move on as being absorbed in self-pity won't do anything to help and states that just about anything could spark that power. Mipha is about to offer Zelda some advice in regard to how she uses her healing power when the ground suddenly starts to shake, prompting Revali to fly up and investigate what was happening and to his shock, Calamity Ganon has emerged from below Hyrule Castle and rejoins the Champions. When Mipha asks him if he is sure, Revali replies that, he is positive. Daruk rallies the Champions to head to their Divine Beasts and Link to go to Hyrule Castle, with Revali looking away when Daruk said that. Urbosa tells Zelda that she must take refuge, but Zelda declines and tells them that she must at least do something to help.

Revali was killed when Windblight Ganon took over Divine Beast Vah Medoh. One hundred years later, Link returned to Rito Village to free the Divine Beast, enlisting Teba's help to reach it. Revali's spirit acknowledges him upon entering and shows Link where the map of Medoh can be found. After opening all of the terminals and activating the main control unit, Windblight Ganon appears and Revali advises Link to use caution.

After the battle is over, Revali appears before Link as a spirit and thanks him for defeating the monster and freeing both him and Medoh. He grants Link Revali's Gale, which allows the hero to create a column of wind which Link can utilize to fly into the air. Revali then takes Medoh to the highest point of Rito Village and takes aim at Hyrule Castle. Upon Link's return to fight Ganon, Revali uses Vah Medoh's power with the other Champions to weaken the beast.

After Calamity Ganon's defeat, Revali's spirit is shown with the other Champions and King Rhoam high above Hyrule Castle. After momentarily watching Link and Zelda depart, his spirit disappears along with the King and remaining Champions.

Relationships

Revali had an unwilling relationship with Link as is continuously shown in Link's memories. After becoming the Rito Champion, Revali was upset that as the pride of the Rito race, he became nothing more than the assistant to the Princess' Champion. Before Calamity Ganon's return, Revali never believed in Link's ability to become the Hero of Hyrule and looked down on him as a constant disappointment. Once Link defeated Windblight Ganon, the Rito finally acknowledged Link was a hero who could defeat Ganon and stood behind him when Link went to face the beast in Hyrule Castle.
