Tatl's History

Prior to the events of Majora's Mask, Tatl and Tael were flying around Termina Field looking for shelter on a stormy day, when suddenly they find a lonely Skull Kid under a log, shivering. Tatl and her brother soon become friends with him, and when the Skull Kid began to show his mischievous side, the two fairies decided to follow through it: at the beginning of Majora's Mask, they accompany the Skull Kid to the Lost Woods, where Tatl and Tael startle Link's horse, causing the young hero to fall off unconscious while the Skull Kid steals Link's ocarina. When Link wakes up, Tatl escapes with Tael and the Skull Kid as they ride away on Epona. After Link is transformed into a Deku Scrub, Tatl gets in his way to impede him from going after the Skull Kid, which causes Tatl to get separated from both the Skull Kid and her brother. Although at first she blames Link for the turn of events, she decides to become Link's partner in order to be reunited with her brother and prevent the Skull Kid from destroying Termina.

Eventually, Link and Tatl find the Skull Kid atop the Clock Tower, where Tael gives them a clue about how to stop the Moon. The Skull Kid, however, smacks Tael for speaking out of line, angering Tatl. When Link retrieves the Ocarina of Time from the Skull Kid, Tatl scolds the young hero for losing himself in memories before he plays the "Song of Time" to take him and his fairy sidekick back to the First Day. From then on, Tatl accompanies Link in his subsequent confrontations with the Skull Kid, and also plays a part in preventing Termina from its impending apocalypse. Once the two of them manage to free the Four Giants, Link and Tatl go up against the Skull Kid one last time, successfully halting the Moon from its path of destruction by calling the almighty deities. Although Tael tries to explain to his sister that the power of Majora's Mask was too great for the Skull Kid to handle, Tatl accounts it on him having a "weak will and no strength of heart," on top of being a "fool." Shortly after, Majora's Mask detaches itself from the Skull Kid and travels to the inside of the moon, prompting Link to go after it. Tatl refuses to follow him since she wants to stay with her brother, but when Tael says that he will go,Tatl changes her mind and decides to accompany Link to the moon. Together, the young hero and the fairy defeat Majora's Mask, freeing the Skull Kid from the mask's power.

Tatl is last seen during the ending sequence of the game when, just as she's witnessing Link's departure from Termina along with Tael and the Skull Kid, she thanks him for helping her, causing the overwhelmed fairy to be comforted by her brother.
