Garill is a character in Breath of the Wild.[1]

Biography[]

Garill can be found living underneath a tree at Fort Hateno in East Necluda. Each day, he goes to observe the ruins of Fort Hateno.[2] When Link first encounters him, he mentions paying respects to the soldiers who lost their lives defending the Fort in the Great Calamity.[3]

When prompted, Garill teaches Link about a Hylian Champion.[4] He explains that 100 years ago, there were a group of warriors known as the Champions, and while one fought at the Fort, the others perished in battle.[5] With the other soldiers, he managed to hold back the onslaught of Guardians.[6] He also shares a rumor that the Champion was mortally wounded and taken to be revitalized to fight again after a long slumber and wonders if he'll be around for the day he wakes up.[7]

Garill is struck by the tragedy at Fort Hateno when he sees the ruins and is boggled by how many Guardians there are.[8] He reasons that the Champion must have been a great threat to the forces of darkness.[9] He attributes the existence of Hateno Village, and by extension his own life, to the sacrifices made at Fort Hateno and vows to pass this knowledge on.[10][11]

Garill fancies the idea that he would have fought alongside the Hylian Champion if he were present during the Great Calamity,[12] and expresses wonder at the Champion's skill to have been capable of felling the Guardian Stalkers. attacking the Fort.[13]

If Link wakes Garill up at night, he says that while he'd love to keep talking with him, he's observing a moment of silence for everyone who fought against the Guardians.[14] He tells Link that they can continue speaking in the morning.[15]
