Leena is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]
Biography
Breath of the Wild
Leena is a Gerudo Soldier who can be found in the Barracks of Gerudo Town. She carries a Gerudo Spear.
The first time Link can speak to her, he will find her going through a list of supplies she needs for a trip into the Gerudo Desert.[3] After Link has started the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" Main Quest, Leena will be concerned that Barta may have been captured by the Yiga Clan.[4] However, she assures herself that Barta must have instead gotten lost in the sandstorms near Karusa Valley.[5]
When Link speaks to Liana, she notices that she has not seen Barta for some time.[6] Leena explains that she left for the Yiga Clan Hideout two days ago, and she wonders what happened to her.[7] Angered, Liana asks why she let Barta go by herself,[8] which Leena apologizes for, explaining that she thought she would be careful.[9] Liana is upset that they now have to retrieve both the Thunder Helm and Barta.[10] She expresses concern about Captain Teake finding out about what happened.[11]
Once Divine Beast Vah Naboris has been calmed, Link can speak to Leena to find that she is once again concerned about Barta.[12] When he approaches Liana, she will be shocked to hear that Barta has disappeared for a second time.[13] Kotta reveals that she went to investigate the Gerudo Great Skeleton,[14] though Leena claims she tried to stop her.[15] Liana notes that they clearly did not succeed,[16] but Leena explains that she did not think Barta would actually go due to the Molduga living in the area.[17] When Kotta furthers this point by bringing up the extreme Heat,[18] which only causes Liana to call them idiots.[19] She tells them that Barta would not realize if she was walking towards danger.[20] She resigns herself to the fact that Barta, Kotta, and Leena will not change, but she wonders why she has to get into trouble so often.[21] After witnessing this exchange, "The Search for Barta" Side Quest will begin.
When spoken to afterwards, Leena will be upset that Liana is angry at her again.[22] She recalls that she has been in trouble like this before with Teake, claiming that she was mad at her then, too.[23] However, she repeats that she tried to stop Barta this time, since she told her to equip herself for the Heat in the area.[24] Link tells her to try harder next time, but this only angers Leena.[25]
When Barta returns to the Barracks, Leena notes how impressive it is that she was able to cross the Gerudo Desert.[26] She wonders how strong Barta must be to do so.[27]
