Plus in the games, it never really implies that he thinks about his parents, but, you know. Oh, and he gains friends on his quest, so he's not really that lonely. I wonder if knowing his parents would slow him down though, having to worry about their safety and his friends' safety? Like in WW he's always worrying about his grandma and Aryll, and comes back during his adventure.
