Travelers are recurring characters in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]

Biography

Breath of the Wild

Travelers are members of the Yiga Clan in disguise who can be found scattered along roadsides throughout Hyrule after one of two possible conditions are met: either by completing the "Seek Out Impa" Main Quest, or by entering the Yiga Clan Hideout. They assume the appearance of both Hylian men or women who travel the roads of Hyrule and call to Link whenever he is nearby to engage in conversation. If Link speaks to them, they will direct the discussion towards Link's demise before dropping their disguise and attacking as Yiga Footsoldiers.

If Link speaks to travelers after defeating Master Kohga, they will reference the fact that Kohga was slain by him and assail him in their late leader's name.[3][4]

Travelers will not seek shelter during a rainstorm, though they will run from other enemies. They do not reward Link if he rescues them, only instead opting to resume their plan to assassinate him.

Some travelers will attempt to sell Link their Mighty Bananas,[5] a fruit which all Yiga are obsessed with. If Link initially denies the offer to look at their wares, they will insist that he buys from them.[6] Rejecting the offer a second time will anger the traveler, prompting him to attack.[7] These travelers carry 99 Mighty Bananas at 99 Rupees per bundle. If Link purchases all of the Mighty Bananas, the traveler will refer to him as a "banana fan" and announce that he has nothing left to sell.[8] When the transaction is done, the traveler will claim to hope to see Link again, only to admit his lie and attack.[9]
