Biography[]
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
Silva is first encountered in the Fire Sanctuary, where he has been captured by Ghirahim's forces and suspended above a pool of lava. Silva at first mistakes Link for a new guard; however, after Link drains the lava pool and rescues Silva, he realizes his mistake and gives Link his Mogma Mitts in gratitude.
After Link rescues his brother Bronzi he appears as his brother leaves and apologies for his brother giving Link a hard time, before telling Link he should open the Treasure Chest that Brozi left for him. After Link obtains the Dungeon Map from the chest, Silva reveals there is a Weak Wall somewhere in the room and warns Link to be careful of monsters that live in underground tunnels. If Link talks to Silva after he obtains the Small Key in the nearby hidden room, he will tell him that he plans to explore the room a little bit more before reporting to Guld that Bronzi is free.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
Etymology[]
As many Mogmas seem to be named after metals and other minerals, it is highly likely that Silva's name is derived from silver.
