Telma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Telma is a character in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. She runs a bar in Castle Town, where Link reunites with Ilia as a wolf while the town was under the influence of the twilight. She has a cat, Louise, who later helps Link after Zant permanently keeps Link in his blue-eyed beast form. Later, she rounds up a special group of people who help Link to get into the later dungeons.

Telma bears a striking resemblence to Gerudos, as well as a vulumptious version of Impa from Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. Her Gerudo-like appearance may allude to an idea that the Gerudo have since become intergrated into the Hylian population. Her speech mannerisms are reminiscent of the Aunt Jamima / Uncle Ben stereotypical post-slavery southern black speech, possibly suggestive of her character as a caring, motherly figure to Link and Ilia.
