About Teli
Teli is a Hylian researcher stationed at Lookout Landing who studies the Upheaval event and the mysterious Gloom spreading from Hyrule Castle. He maintains detailed notes on Gloom's behavior, its effect on livestock and plant life, and its interaction with sunlight. His research directly informs some of Purah's investigation goals. Teli is one of the few NPCs who explicitly acknowledges the connection between Gloom and the ancient battlefield below Hyrule Castle, making him a key lore character for players interested in the game's pre-story events.

Tips

- His dialogue updates as you complete temples — he tracks Gloom recession in each region after defeating the boss
- Teli becomes more optimistic as the story progresses — his arc from anxious researcher to hopeful recovery advocate mirrors the game's emotional arc
