Breath of the Wild
Teli is a traveling treasure hunter and merchant who deals in Ancient Materials. He lives in Hateno Village, but travels along the path all the way to Fort Hateno. He goes out that way to collect ancient materials from the Guardian remains found near Fort Hateno.[1] Teli is quite vain, referring to himself as having roguish good looks.[2]
He does have knowledge of Ancient Parts and does business with the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab, all the way at the northeast part of Hyrule, claiming that it is half of his business.[3] However, Teli sometimes wonders what the researchers around Hateno do all day long.[4] Teli even speculates that perhaps the scientist at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab is using the guardian parts to repair guardians.[5] He is always around Ancient Materials, so much so that the smell of grease that is on the materials follows him around.[6]
Teli will give Link directions, depending on where he is, including how to get to Fort Hateno.[7] Unlike many other travelers, Teli does not have any weapons with him and will run away if enemy Bokoblin or Stalkoblin appear.[8][9]
When Teli arrives at Hateno Village, he will make his way over to The Great Ton Pu Inn where he will sit down and take a break before venturing off back to Fort Hateno. While Teli is a treasure hunter, he does have some knowledge about the Guardians, knowing that they were created to help defend people.[10]

Tears of the Kingdom
Early on, Teli can be found alongside Agus, Joute, and Endai at Batrea Lake, just east of the Owlan Bridge. The group is on their way to the Riverside Stable, but stopped due to all of them getting sick.
Gourmets Gone Missing
- Main article: Gourmets Gone Missing
After completing the Potential Princess Sightings! quest, Link can speak with Penn at Riverside Stable to begin the Gourmets Gone Missing quest. The chef of Riverside Stable is waiting for Agus and the rest of the group to arrive at the stable so they can teach him one of Princess Zelda's recipes. However the group has not arrived. Link can find them all resting near Batrea Lake. If Link speaks with Teli, he is sick, complaining about monster meat.[11]
The group is all sick after having eaten a meal with monster parts in it. Teli wonders who included such materials, at which point Joute admits that he changed the recipe to include some monster parts.[12][13] Endai agrees with experimenting with food, saying that the road to gourmet greatness is littered with stuff you wouldn't think is tasty, and that they should expand their palate.[14] Agus quiets them down, saying now isn't the time to talk about future dietary exploits. Agus will thank Link and reward him with some Hylian Rice, Rock Salt, and Raw Gourmet Meat.[15] The group will then take off towards the Riverside Stable.
Feathered Fugitives
- Main article: Feathered Fugitives
After completing the Gourmets Gone Missing quest, Teli will make his way over to the Riverside Stable. He can be found behind the stable, looking at the Cuccos. When Link speaks to him, this will begin the Feathered Fugitives quest. He's worries about the Cuccos, as several of them have escaped and thinks that they couldn't have gotten too far.[16][17]
Teli once again thanks Link for previously helping him and his friends out when they were poisoned by a bad meal. Teli, thinking Link is such a helpful person, asks for his help once again. He asks Link to get the five Cuccos that escaped back inside the fence before someone from the stable finds out.[18][19]
After Link finds each Cucco and returns them to the pen, Teli will respond differently, mentioning how many of the Cuccos are left.[20] [21] [22][23] There is a Cucco in the Stable, at the very top of the stable, by the music stage, in a tree south of the stable, and on the Zonai Ruins in the water to the southeast. After finding and bringing all five of them back to the pen, Teli will be thankful and he will give Link a Silver Rupee if he promises not to tell anybody what happened.[24][25]
After the quest is complete, Teli can be seen looking after the Cucco pen and is interested in the Bird Eggs that they lay. He wants to make an Egg Tart, but he's missing one Bird Egg from the recipe.[26] He explains to Link that the recipe requires a Bird Egg, some Goat Butter, Tabantha Wheat, and Cane Sugar.[27] He mentions that Goat Butter can be acquired in Kakariko Village or Hateno Village. Tabantha Wheat only grows in the Tabantha region to the northwest. Cane Sugar can be purchased in Goron City to the northeast.[28]

- ↑ Go far to the north, up to Akkala, and you'll find a man who deals in Guardian parts. He's half my business, truth be told. As long as he's in the market, I can keep treasure hunting until I get my big break. - Teli

- ↑ There's a scientist of some sort over at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab who loves it when I bring him Guardian parts. Wait, what if he's repairing Guardians? That would be bad... - Teli
- ↑ You smell that? That's the smell of grease-not for cooking, but for keeping machines running! I've got a lot of Guardian parts on me, all day, every day, so that smell of grease follows me everywhere I go. - Teli
- ↑ Hey. The name's Teli! I'm a bit of a treasure hunter, if you get my drift. It's just a short hike west from here to Fort Hateno. Let's see... What can I tell you about that place... Um... Eh, nothing really comes to mind. - Teli

- ↑ "Argh, it's no use! What should I do? I need to sort this out, and fast, or I'm going to be in big trouble..." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "They can't have gone far, right? But where are they?!" — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "AAAH! Forgive me! ...Oh! I mistook you for somebody else. Maybe don't sneak up on a guy who's clearly having a bad day. I was sure you were someone from the stable... You're the guys who saved us after that mishap with the monster parts, right? Whew... Talk about a bad meal. Say... Being as you're such a helpful sort, maybe you can help me out of the bind I'm in now. There used to be six Cucco here, see. And I was hungry, and I figured where there are Cuccos, there are eggs. But when I got close...all except one flew away! Now it looks like I stole them! Do you know what happens to Cucco thieves around here? Well, neither do I. But probably nothing good! I know what you're thinking. "How far could they get with those little things? They must be nearby!" And you'd be right about that. But as soon as I get close, they'll scram! I really need to get the other five Cuccos back inside the fence before someone from the stable finds out..." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "*sigh* I guess that waiting for anything that's flown the coop is useless. I can't seem to catch a single runaway bird, let alone all five! If those missing Cuccos aren't inside the fence soon, the folks at the stable are gonna be decidedly not thrilled. Where are they? They can't have gone too far, right?" — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I have to get those Cuccos back inside the fence, or the folks at the stable will have my hide... Oh! How about that? One of the missing Cuccos is back in there already. Your Cucco search is coming along nicely, huh? I really appreciate it! Unfortunately, four are still missing. They must be near the stable, but where? I have to get them back inside the fence, and fast..." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I have to get those Cuccos back inside the fence, or the folks at the stable will have my hide... Huh? Wh-what?! The missing Cuccos... One, two... Did you go searching for them? I really appreciate it! Unfortunately, three are still missing. They must be near the stable, but where? I have to get them back inside the fence, and fast..." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I have to get those Cuccos back inside the fence, or the folks at the stable will have my hide... Huh? Wh-what?! The missing Cuccos... One, two, three... Did you go searching for them? I really appreciate it! Unfortunately, two are still missing. They must be near the stable, but where? I have to get them back inside the fence, and fast..." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I have to get those Cuccos back inside the fence, or the folks at the stable will have my hide... Huh? Wh-what?! The missing Cuccos... One, two, three... Four! Your Cucco search is coming along nicely, huh? I'm so, so grateful, but... There were five Cuccos that ran away, which means one is still out there. That one might be difficult to catch. But it must be close to this stable. It has to be! Right? Unfortunately, two are still missing. They must be near the stable, but where? I have to get them back inside the fence, and fast..." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I have to get those Cuccos back inside the fence, or the folks at the stable will have my hide... Huh? Wh-what?! The missing Cuccos... One, two, three, four five. Five?! All five are here! Your Cucco search is coming along nicely, huh? You did it! It's almost embarrasing... After all your help with the meat-and-rice-bowl incident, you've saved my hide yet again. You're my here! It's just... Hod do I put this? I really don't want anyone to know the, ah, you-know-whats went missing. So... Here." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "You might think of this as "hush money," and... Yes. That's what it is. But the operative word there is "money." You like money, don't you? So take it! Now, let's both pretend like this never happened. Farewell!" — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Hello! Thanks so much for your help finding the Cuccos! I'd hate for them to run away again, so from now on, I'll be extra careful when I take their eggs. Thanks again for helping with that... situation. I owe you one. Did you come looking for eggs too? It seems like folks are allowed to pick up the eggs here. What few are left behind, at least. I need one egg. Just one! Then I'll have all the ingredients to make an egg tart." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "You've never made an egg tart? You don't know what you're missing! Here—try it! Oh, hang on, I forgot. I don't have one. The ingredients are hard to get ahold of. You need goat butter, Tabantha wheat, cane sugar, and a bird egg. Goat butter's not hard to get. You can buy it in Kakariko Village to the east or Hateno Village to the southeast. But like the name would imply, Tabantha wheat only grows to the northwest in the Tabantha region... And cane sugar? The closest source is Goron City to the northeast. You mught say that sounds like a lot of work for a tart, and...you'd be right." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Did you already forget the recipe for an egg tart? You'll need bird eggs, of course. Those can be picked up around here. They sell goat butter in Kakariko Village to the east and Hateno Village to the southeast, so that's easy enough. But Tabantha wheat only grows in the Tabantha region up northwest... And cane sugar is only sold in Goron City to the northeast. Maybe put that recipe to paper. I'd hate for you to do all that legwork only to forget again." — Teli, Tears of the Kingdom
