Teba (JP), is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He is a Rito warrior and the husband of Saki. Teba also has a son named Tulin whom he wishes to raise up as a warrior equal to Revali's skill.
Personality[]
Teba is disciplined, headstrong, and serious, though he is notably humble and often encourages and compliments Link when it was due. He isn't without flaws of his own, when Divine Beast Vah Medoh sprang to life and threatened the Rito's way of life, Teba has become more stressed due to the danger it posed and refuses to back down from doing what was best for them and was determined to stop Medoh, no matter what. This leads to him spending less time with his family, being disobedient to Elder Kaneli's objections, and getting angry at others when they try to stop him. Despite Harth getting injured during one of their confrontations, Teba brings him back home while still having his mind set on his mission. His recklessness rose to disturbing levels to which it distresses Harth, Kaneli, and Saki as he was putting his own life in danger when he still has a wife and son to look after. When Link met him at the Flight Range, Teba was initially dismissive and slightly rude to him before he decides to test his aerial archery skills. When Link passes the test, Teba starts to relax and lets him join him and after suffering a wound after taking out the cannons, Teba starts to lighten up as he wishes him luck as he leaves. After Medoh was calmed and relocated to the rock spire by the soul of Revali, Teba is noticeably more cordial with Link and the others.
By the start of the second half of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Teba's brash and recklessness traits are gone. Teba arrives to save Revali from being shot to death by Windblight Ganon when he witnessed what was happening. This permitted the surviving Rito Champion to get back at it. He quickly recognized Link, though this Link has never met him before or that of the other successors. Teba had always looked up to Revali and longed to reach his level and when he saw how rash Revali was, he wasn't too pleased with what he had heard and nearly made a comment on this before Urbosa stops him from finishing his sentence. Despite this, he was still willing to cooperate with Revali during their mission to take back western Hyrule and finds himself impressed by the Rito Champion's skills, which shows that he still respects him. In addition, Teba's thoughts on Revali improved when he saw that the latter displayed exceptional kindness to kids, notably his son Tulin and being willing to tear his way through armies of monsters to find him and make sure he's safe and he displayed happiness when he saw Revali laughing and later preventing the blanket from blowing off the sleeping Tulin lying on the Rito Champion's lap.
History[]
End of the Timelines[]
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild[]
Before his meeting with Link, Teba tried to disable the Divine Beast Vah Medoh alongside his friend, Harth but the latter's wing was injured and were both forced to retreat. Harth tends to his wing while Teba returns to the Flight Range to prepare for another assault. After Link speaks with him and explains that he also wants to disable the Divine Beast, Teba, initially doubtful, requires him to complete a training exercise at the Flight Range to prove he is strong enough to fight in the air since he is a Hylian and as such is not very suited for that kind of fighting; but with the use of a paraglider, Link can attack from the air. After the exercise has been completed, the two of them head into the sky to fight Vah Medoh. During the battle, Teba assists Link by getting the cannons of the Divine Beast to focus on him, giving Link an opportunity to shoot them down. Once the cannons have been taken out, Teba reveals that he was injured in the leg during the fight with Vah Medoh, and thus must return to the Flight Range to rest. He leaves Link to enter the Divine Beast on his own, wishing him luck in the trials waiting for him inside. When Link gets back to Rito Village after freeing Revali's soul, Teba thanks him for his efforts and hard work. He then leaves to take his son out to the Flight Range.

The Calamity is Averted[]
Teba having saved Revali from Windblight Ganon.
As Revali is having a hard time keeping Windblight Ganon at bay and couldn't land an attack, he gets struck on the wing and sent flying. Windblight prepares to shoot the vulnerable Rito down, but before it could open fire, a time portal summoned by Terrako appears and arrows strike Windblight's cannons. The rescuer was Teba, who had been summoned from the future to save Revali from meeting his end, and Revali recovers enough to get back to the fight and Teba keeps the demon busy, and they began to have a tough time defeating it. Revali was given the opening to shoot the monster from above, but Windblight blocks them. Teba is flustered, but Revali calmly tells him that help has arrived. Thanks to Teba, Revali had been able to hold his own much longer. As Urbosa destroyed a boulder and released an updraft at Mt. Rhoam, Link, Impa, and Princess Zelda board Divine Beast Vah Medoh to help them out and Windblight is forced to retreat. After the dust clears, Urbosa and Riju enter Vah Medoh to thank the party for helping them out. Teba is not pleasantly surprised when he witnesses Revali's harsh persona towards Link and was about to comment on it before Urbosa tells him not to say anything else before he might end up saying something about Revali that he would regret before asking Princess Zelda about what happened at Hyrule Castle.
Revali and Teba.
Once hearing of Hyrule Castle's fall, Revali takes Teba to defend the western reaches of Hyrule. Teba destroys the corrupted Guardian Skywatchers that are taking aim at Revali and soars to take out the other ones and is soon being chased by them. Revali returns the favor by shooting down his pursuers with Bomb Arrows and Teba could not help but feel impressed by Revali's skills. Windblight Ganon reappears alongside Thunderblight Ganon to make one last-ditch effort at not only taking Revali's life, but Teba's as well in retribution for the latter's interference and take Vah Medoh for itself but are both vanquished by the duo. With Vah Medoh, Revali and Teba assist Urbosa and Riju at Fort Hateno along with Vah Ruta and Vah Rudania and their pilots, providing back up. Several events occur with Akkala Citadel and Fort Hateno are secured from further attacks and Zelda's power awakening, Purah's failsafe disabling all of the Guardians that would have brought Hyrule down as well the reformation of Master Kohga and the Yiga Clan and discovery of King Rhoam's survival.
In the Guardian of Remembrance DLC, Revali meets with Teba, telling him that he saw a Rito child in Korok Forest, which leaves Teba extremely agitated. He believes that it was he son, Tulin, who somehow made it into the past and wishes to assist him, despite Revali's doubts. Revali describes the child as looking a lot like him and he never saw a young Rito like him, and he eventually lost sight of the boy. After some searching, they spot Tulin, whom Teba recognized in an instant. Tulin explains that he had been cared for by the "tiny creatures" when he arrived. Teba refuses to leave Tulin on his own due to the monsters that reside there, and the Rito Captain offers to guard Tulin on their way out. Tulin then sees Revali and mistakes him for another Rito by commenting that he is skilled just like Revali before the shocked Rito Champion corrects him that he is Revali. Tulin keeps his wits about him in the midst of the chaos, while he continues to gush at Revali's skills which the Rito Champion figures that he is still worshipped after a hundred years, and no one had ever broken his records yet. As they make it to their destination, found to be a dead end, Revali becomes flustered about not making it out without the Koroks' help. Tulin points the way out as he feels the wind coming from it and managed to guide the adults out. Teba thanks Revali for his help and he politely replied to stop with the praise.
Teba laughing with Revali and Tulin.
As they exit the forest, Teba tells Tulin to thank Revali for saving his life and he does so obediently, and Revali praises Tulin as well, causing the child to become so delighted that he announces that he is training to become just like him and to one day wield the Great Eagle Bow. Revali sighs as he tells him that he could have been killed by the monsters and yet he remains happy and turns to Teba as he believes that he might one day master the wind. Teba agrees, but he adds that he must first surpass him. Tulin imitates Revali's persona, making Teba laugh but stops himself as he sees Revali still standing there, seemingly unamused, and asking if it was meant to sound like him. After a brief moment, Revali starts to laugh happily, with Teba and Tulin joining in. Tulin attempts his own version of Revali's Gale, dubbed "Tulin's Tornado", but he soon falls on his back with Teba checking up on him and Revali warmly reminds him that he still has a way to go, giving him an affectionate nickname of "kid".
Revali and Teba awaiting orders.
Sometime after that, the Divine Beasts, the Champions and their future counterparts, and the armies all over Hyrule are summoned by Purah with the restored Sheikah Towers and uniting them against Calamity Ganon, who is residing at Hyrule Castle. With her father's approval, Zelda takes command of the unified army to take back the castle. After the main monsters are taken down to lower the barrier, the Champions have their Divine Beasts fire their lasers at Ganon to weaken it, but the Blood Moon rises and revives the dead monsters. Despite those shortcomings, the army is able to push their way forward. Revali and Teba lead the Rito forces from the air while the others led the ground forces as they approached the castle where Astor and Harbinger Ganon, this timeline's Terrako corrupted by Malice, waited for them. The warriors had taken on the Blight Ganons one last time, defeating them for good; while Astor and Harbinger Ganon had put up a good fight, they are defeated. Astor descends into insanity and orders Ganon to destroy the heroes, but he is soon absorbed by Ganon's Malice to gain its perfect form and managed to turn the future Terrako against Link and Princess Zelda, forcing the heroes to battle it. With Terrako critically damaged, Teba and the Champions took a moment to mourn the little Guardian that made a huge difference. The furious Princess vows to take Ganon down, no matter what it takes before rushing to the sanctum for the final showdown.
Teba and Revali bidding farewell.
Calamity Ganon initially proved to be invulnerable to all of their attacks and Zelda tries to seal it. Her power activates Terrako, who gets back up and runs up the stairs to make a kamikaze attack on Ganon, destroying itself and Ganon's defenses, allowing the heroes to do damage the monster. With Ganon weakened significantly, Link slashes Ganon into two with the Master Sword and with some effort on Zelda's part, she successfully sealed Ganon away for good. With Hyrule now being at peace, Terrako's screw activated to send Teba, Prince Sidon, Yunobo, and Riju back to the future. Teba exchanges parting words with Revali, still showing a level of respect despite seeing his true colors regarding Link. Zelda expresses eternal gratitude for their miraculous deeds as they are returned to the future with Zelda wishing them a bright future.
Teba chuckling.
During the DLC's secret ending, Teba, Revali, and Tulin spend some time at the Flight Range. Revali has Tulin sleeping on his lap and stops the blanket from being blown off of him by strong winds, with Teba chuckling at how much the two have bonded. All eight Champions, present and future, meet with Link, Princess Zelda, Impa, and Terrako which the latter made them smile at it.
Trivia[]
- Teba was originally going to be brown as he is based on a hawk but was changed to white as a way to make him stand out more as the top warrior of his time.
- He is the first character in The Legend of Zelda series to use profanity. This happens after Vah Medoh is appeased but before the battle with Windblight Ganon.
