Aryll

is a recurring character in .
==Biography==
======
Aryll is Link's younger sister who lives with him and their Grandma on Outset Island. Much like her older brother, the Hero of Winds, Aryll is a very kind, mature and thoughtful person who is eager to help others, especially her Grandma. She often calls Link, “Big Brother.” One of her favorite hobbies is to hang out at Outset Island's lookout and play with the Seagulls. Her Telescope is her most cherished possession, but she lends it to Link as a special gift for his birthday. Soon after, she and Link notice a giant bird known as Helmaroc King soaring in the skies while carrying Tetra in its talons. Tetra's Pirate Crew successfully hit the Helmaroc King with a cannon ball, causing Tetra to fall into the nearby Fairy Woods. Aryll urges her brother to go and rescue the pirate girl. After Link does so, the giant bird mistakes Aryll for Tetra, taking her away to the Forsaken Fortress. It then becomes Link's sworn priority to save her.
After some persuasion, Tetra allows Link to come with her on her ship and travel to the Forsaken Fortress in an attempt to rescue his sister. However, Link is captured by the Helmaroc King before he can get to Aryll, and the bird launches him off into the Great Sea, after he sees Ganondorf, the monster's master, for the first time.
It is soon revealed that the siblings are very close. When the King of Red Lions rescues and meets Link, the young hero sincerely admits to the boat that he will do anything to rescue his younger sister and defeat Ganondorf, even if it means risking his own life. It became clear that the Hero of Winds' adventure in The Wind Waker is merely revenge for Aryll's kidnapping.
Later, Link returns to the Forsaken Fortress and is finally able to rescue Aryll. However, before the two could reunite with heartwarming affection, Tetra interrupts him about the Helmaroc King and her crew of pirates take Aryll away and she promises to return her safely to Outset Island. As such, Aryll spends the rest of the game traveling with the band of pirates, sending her older brother letters from time to time. Aryll also has a change of wardrobe during her stay with the pirates: instead of her usual light blue tropical dress, she changes to a dark purple one with a skull near the bottom. She also wears this dress during the Second Quest.
Aryll is seen again at the end of the game aboard the pirates' ship after Link and Tetra surface from the now-flooded Hyrule following the ultimate defeat of Ganondorf (in which Link finally avenges his sister). Then, with her and Grandma emotional, she appears one last time waving goodbye to her brother before Link and Tetra leave for good in search of new lands, leading to the events of Phantom Hourglass, in which Aryll herself is never seen in this game.

==Trivia==
*Aryll, due to her cute appearance in resemblance to Link and brave behavior, is beloved among The Legend of Zelda series community, and many fans wished to see her return in a future game.
*A piece of artwork for included in the Japanese version of Creating a Champion is labeled in Japanese and features Breath of the Wild's Link with a young girl, presumably a little sister like Aryll. This art is not included in the English version of the book, and the character never appeared in the final version of the game. It is unknown if she would have been a new version of Aryll or have been named something else.
**Linkle from Hyrule Warriors Legends, the female doppelganger of Link, was also originally going to be the hero's younger sister, but this was rejected by Eiji Aonuma, as it would conflict with Aryll.
* Aryll shares the same voice actress as her brother in The Wind Waker - Sachi Matsumoto.
* Aryll being the damsel-in-distress in The Wind Waker mirrors Princess Zelda's role in the early games of the Zelda series.
* In , Aryll is referenced by Nyeve when Link trades the Hero's New Clothes for the Telescope. He jokes that it was originally a gift that he had borrowed from his younger sister.Aryll's Trophy in the North American version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl erroneously claims her Telescope is marked with Turtles instead of Seagulls. This error occurred due to the Japanese word for seagull (カモメ) being misinterpreted as the Japanese word for turtle (カメ). This was corrected in the PAL version.
* Although not intended by Nintendo, with use of ROM hacking, ironically, it is possible to replace Link with Aryll as the hero of The Wind Waker. Due to her model being switched from her brother's, however, Aryll appears as his height and her eyebrows are in a lighter shade of yellow. She shares the same voice clips as Link but is higher pitched to match her original NPC role.
==Nomenclature==
Aryll's name may come from the word Amaryllis, which is a red flower, referencing the pattern on Aryll's dress. In the character design notes for Aryll inside the Zelda Box's book, Eiji Aonuma says that Aryll (アリル, Ariru) was originally going to be named Mariru (マリル) to be similar to Marin (マリン) from and Malon (マロン, Maron) from .Aryll design notes As such, certain similarities between Aryll and Marin can be noted, such as their affinity for Seagulls, and the red hibiscus in Marin's hair that appears on a pattern on Aryll's dress.
