Ilia and Link are much older than the little kids, they have responsibilities and chores in the village and are just trying to learn their place and earn their keep. Ilia, a close friend of the protagonist shows the utmost care for his horse, grooming it and nursing it. Epona is merely a proxy. Her love for the Hero is substituted for the care of his horse. But at the spring of their youth, true feelings come out when Link declares, in his silent manner, that he will be setting out on a quest for the good of the village and Ilia can’t help but feel like something is about to change. “

”I have something I want to show you… I promised you when we were kids, remember? I told you I had a secret place. A place I’ve never showed to anyone. You begged me to show you. You promised me you wouldn’t show anyone else. I promised, when we were old enough… when you knew how to treat me like a lady…”

”You’ll be leaving now… I can’t help but feel strange. It’s like it was yesterday when we were chasing goats and making mischief, but now you‘re leaving the village… you’ve gotten so… We’ve grown up, Link.”

”Before you go… wait there. Don’t move… I don’t want you to say anything. I just want to fulfill my promise. I had always intended on showing you eventually… Well, I hoped to… Link?”
