Owlan is a character featured in Skyward Sword. He is one of the Knight Academy instructors and has great knowledge of flying Loftwings. He is also a collector of various types of plants,[1] which can be seen in his room at the Knight Academy.
Biography
Before the Wing Ceremony race, he gives Link and three other Skyloft youths the instructions for the ceremony. He attaches a ceremonial Bird Statuette to a golden Loftwing and tells the students that whoever catches the bird and claims the statue will be this year's champion.[2] Giving quick instructions on how to control the birds, he then goes on to say that the champion will receive a gift from Zelda.[3] Before the race begins, he tells Link and the three other Skyloft youths to show him just how well they have practiced and asks to see good clean flying without interference from the other flyers.[4] Then, upon his command, the competition begins.
Owlan later becomes a great source of information on Levias, the Sky Spirit.[5] He tells Link of the research Headmaster Gaepora ordered done, and informs him that he is in fact inside the Thunderhead.[6] He also mentions that Pumm makes Pumpkin Soup as an offering to Levias every year, but has not made the trip this year. Since the Sky Spirit has become infested with a parasite known as Bilocyte, Owlan teaches Link and his Loftwing the Spiral Charge so that he may use it to attack the parasite plaguing Levias.[7]
Later, after draining the Faron Woods and learning Faron's portion of the "Song of the Hero", Link can talk to Owlan to discover that he fears that he has collected every form of plant life in Skyloft.[8] Link can take his request to find a new plant, which the young hero can find in the form of a Kikwi in Faron Woods. If Link shows Owlan the Oolo the Kikwi, he will become ecstatic at the young hero's find and reward him with five Gratitude Crystals.[9]
Trivia
- Owlan and Horwell share similar physical traits with the Blade Brothers from The Minish Cap.
- If Link speaks to Owlan after he masters the Spiral Charge move, he will reveal that he is a fan of Kina's singing at the Lumpy Pumpkin.[10]
- If Link sits in a seat next to Owlan in the Knight Academy classroom before the Wing Ceremony, he will ask the young hero if he wants to hear a lesson. If Link chooses to listen, Owlan will describe how Skyloft has been around for thousands of years.[11] This claim coincides with Zelda's statement that she will sleep for thousands of years before sealing herself in the Sealed Temple.[12]
- If Link sits at Owlan's desk in the classroom when he is around, he will scold the young hero.[13]
