==A Link to the Past==
==Features and Overview==
The first time [[Link]] heads out to the village in search for Sahasrahla, he meets an unnamed [[old woman]] staying at his house. She tells Link about the [[Hylian|Hylia]] and the treasure they hid throughout [[Hyrule]], the [[Master Sword]], and also tells him to keep searching the village for [[Sahasrahla's Grandson|someone]] who knows Sahasrahla's whereabouts. Later on, she compliments Link on his appearance and requests him to save Hyrule from [[Agahnim]].

The old woman is often speculated to be the wife of Sahasrahla, but her relation to him is never stated. It is possible she is simply the new town elder after he left. At the end of the game, she is seen welcoming him home along with the [[Sahasrahla's Grandson|boy]] who knew his whereabouts.
