"Voe and You"
"Voe and You" is a recurring event in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3]
Overview
Breath of the Wild
"Voe and You" is a class run by Ashai in the Relationship Classroom of Gerudo Town. It is designed to prepare young Gerudo women for interacting with men they may meet outside of Town.[4][5] Pasha, Dina, and Risa all take the class, though Risa claims she is only there for a refresher.[6] When Link speaks to Ashai in the Classroom, she will ask if he wishes to observe the class.[7]
If Link chooses to observe "Voe and You", Ashai will begin the class so they can show off what they have learned.[8] First, she poses a scenario that her students are approached by a handsome man while walking down the street.[9] Pasha responds that she would wave casually, but stay prepared in the case that he is a bandit wanting to ambush her.[10] Ashai says this is a good approach to a new situation, but she informs them that a man may appear suspicious due to being nervous around a Gerudo.[11] Dina goes next, saying she would greet him enthusiastically and with her hands clearly empty.[12] Ashai comments on her optimism and tells her it could put a stranger at ease.[13] Lastly, Risa tells her she would walk casually towards him before striking him when he least expects it,[14] which Ashai informs her would be a crime.[15]
Ashai's second question asks her students what they would do if they found an injured man lying on the ground.[16] Pasha claims she would carry him to the nearest person who could treat him.[17] Ashai finds this to be a proactive approach but reminds her to check for non-visible injuries before doing so.[18] Dina then states that she would determine what was wrong with him a make a medicine for his treatment.[19] Ashai finds this to be a good answer, she tells her to keep potential allergies in mind.[20] Risa goes last, where she reveals she would take the man home to help him recover.[21] While Ashai finds this sentiment sweet, she also tells Risa that it is basically kidnapping.[22]
For her final question, Ashai asks her students what they would do if they were approached by a man whose attention they have sought.[23] Pasha goes first and says she would pretend not to know his language.[24] Ashai finds this interesting, as it could spark curiosity from someone, but reminds her that the man may know the language she is pretending to.[25] Next, Dina states that she would take the opportunity to figure out his social standing on the basis of his clothing.[26] Ashai praises Dina's thinking, but tells her that people may wear more casual clothes if their good ones are dirty.[27] Finally, Risa says she would grab the man's hand and twist it until he agreed to marry her.[28] Though Ashai is at first shocked, she then asks Risa to speak to her after class.[29]
Tears of the Kingdom
"Voe and You" mas moved to the Cave Next to the Goddess Statue in the Gerudo Shelter beneath Gerudo Town. In addition to the adult classes in the evenings, Ashai now teaches a version for children during the day.
The children's class is attended by Dalia, Kalani, and Pearle. Due to Gerudo law forbidding children from interacting with men, Link is not allowed to observe this class.
