Įventually, Link arrives on Dragon Roost Island and is asked to meet with Medli so that the hero can give Prince Komali a letter from his father. Due to this, Medli feels it is partly her fault that Prince Komali has shut himself in and lost his confidence to go and ask Valoo for his pair of wings: for if Medli had possessed some of Komali's grandmother's strength, the prince of the Rito would have more faith in himself. Moreover, since Medli was not as knowledgeable with the Sky Spirit's language, she could not truly comprehend why Valoo had begun to go berserk. Valoo's home became inaccessible and Medli could no longer fulfill her job as his attendant. One day, Gohma appeared in the Dragon Roost Cavern and began tormenting Valoo's tail, causing the Sky Spirit to go into a fit of rage. However, Komali's grandmother passed away, leading Medli to became the new attendant of Valoo, but unlike the former attendant of the Sky Spirit, Medli could not fully understand Valoo's language and thus was not too confident in her abilities.
Komali's grandmother saw the harp that Medli was carrying and had sensed what destiny had in store for the young girl, but kept quiet about it instead, she used her position to teach Medli all that she had to know until the day fate would call her. Some time before The Wind Waker, Medli was chosen by Komali's Grandmother to become her apprentice and successor as Valoo's attendant.
