This kind old woman works hard to raise her two grandchildren. She's a very talented cook—her special Elixir Soup is sure to raise anyone's spirit.
She can be somewhat mischievous and enjoys playing the occasional prank on LinkAppears in-game as the player's chosen name..
Link returning home to find his Grandma with grief
Link's Grandma is Aryll and Link's grandmother. On Link's birthday, she presents him with the Hero's Clothes, a garment that commemorates the day that he turns the same age as the hero spoken of in the legends of old.[4] Aryll is then kidnapped by the Helmaroc King, so Link returns to his house to retrieve the Hero's Shield hanging from the wall upstairs. His grandmother gives the Shield to him, overwhelmed and disheartened by the fact that Aryll has been kidnapped.[5] Just as Link is departing from Outset Island, his grandmother can be seen standing in front of her house watching her grandson leave.
Once Link returns to Outset Island in search for Jabun, he finds out from Sue-Belle that his Grandma has been depressed ever since he left the island. Sue-Belle goes on to mention that she rarely leaves the house, spending her days sleeping and hardly eating as she continues to worry for her two grandchildren.[1]Sturgeon then suggests Link that Fairy dust can be use to cure her.[6]
By releasing a Fairy in front of her, she can recover from her illness. By curing Link's Grandma, he can obtain some Elixir Soup inside one of his Bottles.[7] This homemade soup can restore all of Link's Hearts and Magic.[8] It also doubles his attack power until receiving damage from an enemy. Grandma fills the Bottle so full it contains two helpings.[9][10]
When Link leaves Outset Island after curing Grandma, he receives a Letter from her enclosed with a Red Rupee, her entire savings.
Grandma's Letter
How are you doing, LinkAppears in-game as the player's chosen name.? Do
you have enough of Granny's soup?
Where are you now?
You may be closer than I suspect!
Are you hungry? Are you keeping warm?
You haven't injured yourself, have you?
You always work so hard, LinkAppears in-game as the player's chosen name..
Do you have enough Rupees?
Your grandma doesn't have a lot, but I'm
sending you everything I've saved up.
As long as I have you and Aryll, I don't
need anything else.
I just want the two of you to return
home safely.
Love, Grandma
Link's Grandma is last seen during the ending scene, waving good-bye as Link sets sail in search of new lands.
Link and Aryll's grandmother. She's a fine cook, and Link and Aryll are particularly fond of her soup. Grandma cares for Link with a kind tone and a warm demeanor, but when Aryll is kidnapped and Link gives chase, her health deteriorates, leaving her bedridden. If you help her recover with a fairy, she'll comfort Link with warm soup whenever he wants.
