Revali: Difference between revisions

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 and is desperate to get it right,{{Ref|Not enough. I must stay in the eye of the whirlwind... must push myself harder... - Revali}} before he spots the watching princess and scolds her for eavesdropping.{{Ref|You know, Your Highness... It's rude to eavesdrop. - Revali}} Zelda apologizes to him as she explains that the villages gave directions to his whereabouts.{{Ref|My apologies. I went to the village, and I was told I could find you here. - Zelda}} 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.{{Ref|You have need of me. To defeat Calamity Ganon. To slay the beast once and for all... It will be my great pleasure. - Revali}} Zelda was about to thank him,{{Ref|Thank you, Revali. If we work together, I'm certain we'll be able to defeat— - Zelda}} before he interrupts her,{{Ref|However! - Revali}} 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 [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|certain knight]],{{Ref|I know I play the biggest part in helping that, ahem... that little knight with the darkness-sealing sword. Correct? - Revali}} and tells her not to come crying to him in the event that this knight loses his confidence when seeing him in action.{{Ref|Well, if he loses his confidence after seeing me in action... don't come crying to me. - Revali}}

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,{{Ref|Hmph. This is the Sheikah Slate, eh? - Revali}} as the princess explains its functions while still trying to uncover more secrets.{{Ref|It is. Apparently there are more uses for it than we originally thought. Sadly, we've yet to decipher all of its secrets. - Zelda}} 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, with her telling Revali to move closer,{{Ref|Revali, move your tail closer to the group. - Purah}} which miffs him,{{Ref|Ugh, fine. - Revali}} 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.{{Ref|Wasn’t this your idea? You're the one who wanted to designate the appointed knight with all the ceremonial pomp, grandeur, and nonsense we could muster! And if you ask me, the whole thing does seem to be overkill. I think I'm on the same page as the princess regarding...this boy. - Revali}} 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.{{Ref|Oh, give it a rest. That boy is a living reminder of her own failures. Well, at least that's how the princess sees him. - Urbosa}}

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.{{Ref|Impressive, I know. Very few can achieve a mastery of the sky. Yet I have made an art of creating an updraft that allows me to soar. It's considered to be quite the mastery of aerial techniques, even among the Rito. With proper utilization of my superior skills, I see no reason why we couldn't easily dispense with Ganon. - Revali}} 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.{{Ref|Now then, my ability to explore the firmament is certainly of note... But let's not—pardon me for being so blunt—let's not forget the fact that I am the most skilled archer of all the Rito. Yet despite these truths, it seems that I have been tapped to merely assist you. All because you happen to have that little darkness-sealing sword on your back. I mean, it's just...asinine. - Revali}} 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.{{Ref|Unless...you think you can prove me wrong? Maybe we should just settle this one on one? But where...? Oh, I know! How about up there?! Oh, you must pardon me. I forgot you have no way of making it up to that Divine Beast on your own! Good luck sealing the darkness! - Revali}}

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,{{Ref|So, you didn't feel anything? No power at all? - Revali}} 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,{{Ref|Are you sure? - Mipha}} Revali replies that, he is positive.{{Ref|Positive. - Revali}} 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#Breath of the Wild|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.{{Ref|Well now, I've seen that face before... I had a feeling you would show up eventually. But making me wait a hundred years is a bit...indulgent. You're here to wrest control of Medoh away from Ganon, correct? If so, then the first thing you'll want to do is find yourself a map. That Guidance Stone has the information for the layout of this Divine Beast. Can you make it there? - Revali}} Once Link receives the map, Revali will instruct him to activate all of the terminals to take back control and asks if he's up for the challenge.{{Ref|You'll need to look closely at your map of the Divine Beast. The terminals that will activate Medoh are marked by those glowing points. You'll need to activate all of the terminals to take back control. Think you're up to it? - Revali}} Revali will gradually become more surprised as Link activates each terminal.{{Ref|There are four terminals remaining! Still a ways to go. - Revali}}{{Ref|There are three terminals remaining! Keep going. - Revali}}{{Ref|There are two terminals remaining. You're almost there. - Revali}}{{Ref|Just one terminal remaining! What do you know? - Revali}} After opening all of the terminals and activating the main control unit,{{Ref|That was the last terminal! Now you just need to start the main control unit! I want you to take a good look at your map. There should be a new glowing point on there. Well? Flap to it! - Revali}} Windblight Ganon appears and Revali advises Link to use caution.{{Ref|Good luck! That thing is one of Ganon's own, and it plays dirty! It defeated me 100 years ago... but only because I was winging it. I can't believe I'm actually saying this... But you must avenge me, Link! - Revali}}

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.{{Ref|Well, I'll be plucked...You defeated him, eh? Who would've thought... Well done. I suppose I should thank you now that my spirit is free. This returns Medoh back to its rightful owner! - Revali}} 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.{{Ref|Don't preen yourself just for doing your job. I do suppose you've proven your value as a warrior. A warrior worthy of my unique ability. The sacred skill that I have dubbed Revali's Gale! - Revali}} Revali then intends on taking Medoh to its position on Hyrule Castle and playfully teases Link by adding only if he needed his help and allows him to feel free to thank him.{{Ref|It's now time to move on and start making preparations for Medoh's strike on Ganon. But only if you think you'll still need my help while you're fighting inside Hyrule Castle. Feel free to thank me now. - Revali}} As Link vanishes, Revali tells him to leave since he isn't finished his mission and Princess Zelda has been waiting for a long time.{{Ref|Or...never mind, just go. Your job is far from finished, you know. The princess has been waiting an awful long time. - Revali}} Revali then takes Medoh to the highest point of Rito Village and takes aim at [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]].{{Ref|Medoh's sights are now set. You'll have a precise bead on Ganon from this vantage point. And when the time is right, give him everything you've got! Now we wait for that perfect moment... Medoh, we've been artfully patient for the last 100 years. I doubt you'll suffer a feather ever a few more moments... - Revali}} With Link absent, Revali admits that Link is indeed worthy despite his lack of wings and accomplished what he couldn't and hopes Link's luck holds up for everyone's sake.{{Ref|After all these years, I simply must admit the truth... Even without the power of flight, Link made his way to this Divine Beast... And accomplished something that even I could not... Guess I was wrong about... how lucky he would be. I hope that luck holds out, Link... For everyone's sake. - Revali}} Upon Link's return to fight Ganon, Revali uses Vah Medoh's power with the other Champions to weaken the beast.{{Ref|Now my moment has finally come. Brace yourself, Ganon, for the sting of my revenge! - Revali}}

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.
