Biography

Breath of the Wild

Shamae is a little girl who works at the Woodland Stable. During the day on clear weather, she can be found at the Stable's patio next to its Barrels. She tells Link that she has dreams of a land in the sky, and believes that people used to live there long ago.[6] She desires to watch balloons float high into the sky and asks Link if he could help her realize her dream.[7] She promises to give him a treasure she got from the sky,[8] and instructs that he put some balloons onto one of the Barrels.[9] This initiates the "Balloon Flight" Side Quest. Link completes her request by attaching an Octo Balloon to one of the Barrels and allowing it to fly high enough. Overjoyed, she confesses that her dream is to visit the land in the sky by balloon.[10] She then gives him the promised treasure: a Star Fragment.

Tears of the Kingdom

In Tears of the Kingdom, Shamae still resides at Woodland Stable.

Initially, Shamae can be found looking up at the Sky outside of Woodland Stable. When Link approaches her, Shamae welcomes him to the Stable and asks if he is also looking for things that fall from the Sky.[11][12] If Link ends their conversation at this point, Shamae insists it is more fun to search on her own.[13] If Link asks her about it, she claims that Fallen Debris will occasionally falls from a nearby Sky Island, and she is able to point out such an occurrence to him.[14] Shamae believes this is the work of someone who lives in the Sky, and though she wants to go visit them, she is still too young to travel so far.[15] When she grows up like Link, she wants to visit the Sky Island herself.[16] When Link ends their conversation after this point, she states that they should meet on the Sky Island after she becomes an adult.[17] She will also become annoyed if Link asks her about Fallen Debris again.[18] Shamae then wonders if another piece of Fallen Debris will fall, once again expressing her desire to play in the Sky.[19]

While Kilton and Koltin are still at Woodland Stable, Shamae wonders if balloons like theirs could be used to travel into the Sky.[20]

Trivia

  • In Breath of the Wild, Shamae's dream of an ancient land in the sky may be a reference to Skyloft. She also dreams of riding a "really big bird" there, which may refer to Skyloft's Loftwings.[10]
