- "I had no idea... I hadn't heard the details about Talo's capture... But, Colin... So you still prefer your master over me, huh, Epona? Don't worry about your horse, Link. Fortunately, it looks like the injury isn't too serious. You two can go on together. But, Link... Can you at least promise me this? No matter what happens on your journey, don't try to do anything...out of your league. Please. Just come home safely."

[edit] Biography
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Born in Ordon Village, Ilia is extremely close with nature and heals Link’s horse, Epona, when she is hurt jumping fences at the beginning of the game. Although Ilia is the daughter of the mayor, she prefers to spend her time in the wild. According to her official Twilight Princess trading card, she is sixteen years old.
A while into the game, she is hit with an arrow and kidnapped along with Colin by King Bulblin and his Bulblin riders, which leads into Link trying to rescue her. Link eventually locates her in Hyrule Castle Town, but when she sees him, it is apparent that she does not recognize him. It is later revealed by Telma that Ilia has lost her memory from being hit by the arrow and cannot even remember her own name. Later, however, she recovers her memory and gives Link a charm so he can call Epona anytime.

[edit] Behind the scenes

It appears that in early production stages of Twilight Princess, Ilia was a member of the Hylian race as opposed to a Human. This was changed later on, however, perhaps due to the fact that she would blend in with the other Human villagers of Ordon Village better if she was one of them.
