{{Term|BotW|Malena}} is a {{Term|BotW|Gerudo|link}} who can be found in {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Town|link}}. During the night, she enters the {{Term|BotW|Barracks|link}}, where she will beg the {{Term|BotW|Gerudo}} soldiers to help her.<ref>{{Cite|Someone...|Malena|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Please...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> At night, she sleeps at the {{Term|BotW|Hotel Oasis|link}}, whispering in her sleep about a cure.<ref>{{Cite|{{Small|I'll cure you... I'm sure I will...}}|Malena|BotW}}</ref> | |||
{{Term|BotW|Malena}} is originally from {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Town}}, but she left after marrying her husband, {{Term|Series|Platt|link}}.<ref name="Married">{{Cite|I... I finally found the voe of my dreams, and I just recently married him...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> With their marriage, {{Term|BotW|Malena}} believed that she had finally found happiness.<ref>{{Cite|I thought I had finally found happiness...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> However, he soon became sick with a rare disease.<ref name="Disease">{{Cite|But then...my husband fell ill with a rare disease... One difficult to cure.|Malena|BotW}}</ref> After discovering that he could be cured with {{Term|BotW|Molduga Guts|link}}, she returned to {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Town}} to ask for help, since she would never be able to defeat a {{Term|BotW|Molduga|link}} by herself.<ref name="Molduga">{{Cite|The only thing that can save him is the {{Color|BotW Blue|innards of a Molduga}}... But I would never be able to take down such a creature myself... I asked the soldiers for help, but...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> | |||
When {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} speaks to {{Term|BotW|Malena}}, she explains her plight to him.<ref name="Married"/><ref name="Disease"/> When she asked the {{Plural|Series|Gerudo Soldier|link}} for help, they denied her.<ref>{{Cite|They said they have serious issues to deal with! They said they had no time for my plight! They turned me away!|Malena|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Malena}} does not blame them for avoiding a beast as dangerous as a {{Term|BotW|Molduga}}, and she theorizes it would be foolish to expect others to help a stranger in need.<ref>{{Cite|But then, why wouldn't they? The {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}} is a menacing beast... None who face one escape unscathed... So perhaps it's foolish to expect anyone to stick their neck out for a stranger...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> She is disappointed that she has been forced to return to {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Town}} because of her circumstances.<ref>{{Cite|I thought I'd finally gotten out of this town... Never thought I'd have to come crawling back...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> | |||
If {{Term|BotW|Link}} ends their conversation at this point, she shares that {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} live in areas of extreme {{Term|BotW|Heat|link}}, which even the {{Plural|BotW|Gerudo}} cannot stand without the proper gear.<ref>{{Cite|[Good-bye.] The {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}} lives in a region of {{Color|BotW Red|extreme heat}}... Even the Gerudo, who thrive in the heat, might well expire there if they were clad in their regular gear...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Malena}} warns {{Term|BotW|Link}} to be careful if he travels to those areas.<ref>{{Cite|If you dare to go to that region, please be careful.|Malena|BotW}}</ref> | |||
If {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks about {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}}, {{Term|BotW|Malena}} explains that it is a {{Term|BotW|Monster|link}} so savage that even other {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} do not go near it.<ref>{{Cite|[Molduga?] The {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}} is a monster... A terror so savage that even other monsters won't approach it...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> She mentions that one can be found in the {{Term|BotW|Toruma Dunes|link}} and at the {{Term|BotW|Southern Oasis|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|It's often been spotted west of here, in the {{Color|BotW Blue|Toruma Dunes}}, and in the south.|Malena|BotW}}</ref> She comments that {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} are sensitive to vibrations, and they will attack anything that approaches them.<ref>{{Cite|It's very {{Color|BotW Red|sensitive to vibrations}}, and it tends to attack anything that draws near.|Malena|BotW}}</ref> Unable to approach it or use someone as bait, she wonders what she is supposed to do. <ref>{{Cite|You can't approach it or even move near it... And you can't use someone as bait... So what am I to do...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> After speaking to her, the "{{Term|BotW|Medicinal Molduga|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Side Quest|link}} will begin. | |||
When {{Term|BotW|Link}} speaks to {{Term|BotW|Malena}} again, she repeats her assertion that no one would face a dangerous {{Term|BotW|Monster}} like the {{Term|BotW|Molduga}} on her behalf.<ref>{{Cite|Of course, the {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}} is a menacing beast... None who faced one come away completely unscathed... So I guess it's foolish the expect anyone to stick their neck out for a stranger...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> However, she states that {{Term|BotW|Molduga Guts}} are the only thing that is capable of curing {{Term|Series|Platt}}, and she refuses to give up on him.<ref>{{Cite|But...the only thing that will cure my husband is the {{Color|BotW Blue|guts of a Molduga}}. I finally met the voe of my dreams... I can't give up.|Malena|BotW}}</ref> | |||
After obtaining {{Term|BotW|Molduga Guts}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can return to {{Term|BotW|Malena}}, who will recalls that {{Term|Series|Platt}} was the first man who ever called her beautiful.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, it's you... My husband was the first voe to ever tell me I was beautiful...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> Due to how much she loves him, she needs {{Term|BotW|Molduga Guts}} to cure him, but she laments that she cannot obtain them on her own. <ref>{{Cite|I love him so! And so I need those {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga guts}}, no matter what... But... What can I do on my own?|Malena|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Malena}} is worried that she is running out of time to save her husband.<ref>{{Cite|{{Small|...Oh, me. The longer I tarry, the more the danger grows for my dear one...}}|Malena|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Link}} can then offer his {{Term|BotW|Molduga Guts}} to her, which she is surprised by.<ref>{{Cite|[Here, take 'em.] Wait, these... {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga guts}}! {{Big|You... You'll give these to me?}}|Malena|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} confirms he is giving them to her, she becomes overjoyed and thanks him.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|Oh, sarqso!}}|Malena|BotW}}</ref> As a reward, she gives {{Term|BotW|Link}} a {{Term|BotW|Gold Rupee|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|This is all I have to thank you with, but I insist you take it.|Malena|BotW}}</ref> Now that she has {{Term|BotW|Molduga Guts}}, {{Term|BotW|Malena}} cries that she will be able to save {{Term|Series|Platt}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Small|This will save him... *sniff*}}|Malena|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Malena}} then begins to walk away, and the {{Term|BotW|Side Quest}} is completed. | |||
As she is leaving, {{Term|BotW|Malena}} will again thank {{Term|BotW|Link}} for providing her with her husband's cure if he talks to her.<ref>{{Cite|Deepest sarqso. My true love will be cured at last!|Malena|BotW}}</ref> She reveals that she is preparing to return to him as soon as possible.<ref>{{Cite|I should make ready for the journey back to him immediately.|Malena|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Malena}} then realizes that she never learned {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s name.<ref>{{Cite|Kind Hylian vai... I never asked your name, did I?|Malena|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} responds that he is just a traveler, she compliments him for his modesty, and she hopes that she can someday raise a daughter to be like him.<ref>{{Cite|[Just a traveler...] Such modesty... That's something that most people I know always seem to lack. If I ever have a vehvi, I hope I can raise her to be a vai like you.|Malena|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} shares his name, she mentions that it sounds like a man's name.<ref>{{Cite|[I'm Link.] Link, huh? That sounds kinda like a sturdy voe name to me...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> She then tells {{Term|BotW|Link}} that she might name her daughter after him, should she ever.<ref>{{Cite|I hope you don't mind, but I may...possibly...name my vehvi after you. If I ever have one, that is!|Malena|BotW}}</ref> She again thanks {{Term|BotW|Link}} for his assistance, claiming she will never forget him.<ref>{{Cite|Sarqso, truly...Link. I'll never forget about you.|Malena|BotW}}</ref> | |||
