Liana is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[3][4]
Biography
Breath of the Wild
Liana is a Gerudo Soldier who can be found in the Barracks of Gerudo Town. She carries a Moonlight Scimitar and a Gerudo Shield.
When Link first approaches Liana, she asks what an outsider is doing in the Barracks.[5] She informs him that they are on high alert, and she suggests that he instead check out the market.[6] If Link asks what happened, Liana begins to explain, but she quickly realizes that she should not tell an outsider anything involving their security.[7] She mentions that she could tell him if he had permission from Captain Teake.[8]
If Link speaks to Liana after meeting with Riju, she notices that she has not seen Barta recently and wonders where she is.[9] Leena explains that Barta went to scout out the Yiga Clan Hideout two days ago, but she does not know what happened to her.[10] Angered, Liana asks why she let Barta go by herself,[11] which Leena apologizes for.[12] Liana is upset that they now have to retrieve both the Thunder Helm and Barta.[13] She is fearful that, if Teake were to find out, they would be punished with 100 laps around the Gerudo Desert.[14] Kotta asks what they should do,[15] causing Liana to yell that she is thinking about it.[16]
After Link has completed the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" Main Quest, he can return to the Barracks to find Liana yet again shocked that Barta failed to return.[17] Kotta explains that she went to investigate the Gerudo Great Skeleton,[18] and Leena claims that she tried to stop her.[19] Liana points out that this did not work, since Barta is clearly not with them.[20] Leena and Kotta reveal that they did not think Barta would actually go, due to the Molduga and the intense Heat in the area.[21][22] Liana is only angered further by this, reminding them that Barta walks into danger unknowingly.[23] She resigns herself to the fact that Barta, Leena, and Kotta will not change.[24] However, she still wonders why Barta gets herself into trouble so often.[25] After witnessing this exchange, "The Search for Barta" Side Quest will begin.
If Link speaks to Liana during the Side Quest, he can overhear her scolding Kotta and Leena.[26] She is scared of what will happen if Riju finds out what has happened.[27] She then mutters to herself that she needs to do something before anyone else finds out.[28]
After Barta returns to the Barracks once again, Liana commends Link, revealing that Barta told her about how he helped her.[29] She compares him to a Champion, claiming that if he were a Gerudo, she would want him as part of her troop.[30] Liana is relieved that the situation has been resolved before Teake could punish her for it.[31] As a reward, she gives Link a Silver Rupee, telling him to buy something nice at the market.[32] With this, the Side Quest will be completed.
If Link talks to Liana after calming the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, she admits that she dismissed Link's abilities too quickly.[33] After completing "The Search for Barta", she may also remind him to use his reward and enjoy Gerudo Town.[34]
