Biography
Branli is a Hylian who wears a Snowquill Tunic and Snowquill Trousers. He can be found at the top of Ridgeland Tower, which he has been stuck on since it rose from the ground.[3] He runs the Bird-Man Research Study Mini-Game.
Branli is a researcher dedicated to discovering the flying capabilities of the Rito.[4] According to him, their flight is seemingly inexplicable, due to their heavy weight and relatively short wingspan.[5] Now that he is trapped on top of Ridgeland Tower, he realizes it gives him the perfect vantage point to observe the Rito in Rito Village.[6]
When Branli realizes that Link is also on the Tower, he assumes that Link is stuck as well and is unable to get down without hurting himself.[7] After learning that Link can glide down,[8] he is excited as he thinks this could help his research.[9] Through his research, he wants to one day himself be a bird, capable of flight.[10]
Branli asks Link to participate in a study to see how far he can glide,[11] agreeing to compensate him based on how far he flies.[12] However, he charges Link a liability fee of 20 Rupees in the event of any accidents.[13] If Link agrees, Branli asks him to keep several things in mind while he glides.[14]
Based on the distance Link flies, Branli will have different reactions. If he flies less than 450 meters, Branli will be upset and refuse to give Link a reward.[15] He encourages Link to think of himself as a Rito, free from gravity.[16] In addition, he suggests that Link make adjustments to preserve his Stamina.[17] If Link glides between 450 and 600 meters, Branli considers it a small step towards his goal.[18] He initially offers 21 Rupees as a reward, though he relents and gives Link a Purple Rupee instead.[19] Should Link make it more than 600 meters, Branli notes that, while he did not flap his arms, his methods were still effective.[20] As a reward, he gives Link a Silver Rupee.[21]
If Link returns to Branli at any point after first participating in the Research Study, he will refer to him as his research assistant.[22]
