Ashai is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[3][4]
Biography
Breath of the Wild
Ashai is a Gerudo who lives in Gerudo Town and teaches two classes to young girls before they depart from Gerudo Town.[5] In the past, she and Isha were involved in a love triangle with Aurie Taamu, though both of them remained single in the end.[6][7]
If Link speaks to Ashai while she is walking through Gerudo Town, she introduces herself and asks Link if he is interested in taking her class, "Voe and You".[8] Ashai explains that she teaches a relationship class during the day and a Cooking Class at night.[9] Ashai encourages Link to attend the Cooking Class at her home during the night and her relationship class in the barracks during the day.[10][11]
When speaking to Ashai in the Relationship Classroom before "Voe and You" begins, she asks if Link is interested in sitting in.[12] She then assures Link that there is no hurry and that class does not begin until everyone arrives.[13]
If Link speaks to Ashai during her relationship class, she invites Link to observe if he is interested.[14] If Link rejects her offer, Ashai asks if Link already has a loved one,[15] to which Link scratches the back of his head in embarrassment. Ashai then explains that the young girls in her class have never even met a man before and that it is her duty to prepare them for the world outside of Gerudo Town.[16][17]
Should Link agree to observe the class, Ashai instructs everyone to demonstrate what they have been learning.[18] Ashai then asks the class what to do when a "handsome voe" approaches them on the street.[19] Pasha stands up and answers that she would wave casually yet remain prepared in case he is a distraction for a bandit ambush.[20] Ashai praises Pasha for her solution and then reminds the class that sometimes men only look suspicious from being intimidated by a Gerudo.[21][22] Dina then stands up to share her solution, saying that she would enthusiastically greet the man and approach with her hands empty.[23] Ashai praises Dina for her optimistic approach,[24] adding that friendliness is a great way to relax others.[25] Lastly, Risa stands to share her solution, saying that she would attack the man when he least suspects it.[26] Ashai dismisses Risa's solution and tells her that it is a crime.[27]
Ashai also asks her students what they would do if they encountered an injured voe lying on the ground.[28] Pasha responds that she will lift him over her shoulder and take him to the nearest person who can treat him.[29] Ashai will praise this answer, but she will remind Pasha to check for non-visible injuries before she moves someone.[30] Next, Dina says she would figure out what is wrong with him and then make a medicine to treat him.[31] Once again, Ashai will say Dina has a great answer, but she tells her to make sure he does not have any allergies to the ingredients she uses.[32] Finally, Risa will say that she would secretly take the voe back to her home, where she would help him recover.[33] Ashai says that while Risa's sentiment is sweet, her plan is basically kidnapping.[34]
For her third question, Ashai asks her students what they will do when they are approached and spoken to by a voe whose attention they have sought.[35] Pasha says she would pretend not to speak his language.[36] Ashai comments that her approach is interesting since it could inspire curiosity, and she explains it is unrealistic that he will know the language she pretends to.[37] Dina claims she will take the opportunity to examine his clothes to determine his social status.[38] Ashai commends Dina on her good thinking, but reminds her that sometimes, if someone's nice clothes are dirty, they may wear something more casual.[39] Lastly, Risa says she would grab his hand and twist his wrist until he agreed to marry her.[40] Ashai is left without words, and she tells Risa to speak to her after class.[41]
Before her Cooking Class begins, she tells Link one might as well learn if there is more to learn.[42] If Link agrees with her, she comments on Link's innocent expression.[43] Ashai also explains to Link that she was planning a lesson on Creamy Heart Soup, but she forgot the name of the heart-shaped vegetable in the Recipe.[44] Ashai assures herself that she will remember eventually.[45]

It's about time for Ms. Ashai's class to begin.

Ms. Ashai says it's still not OK to chat with voe... You're gonna get in trouble if you stay here!

Oh, are you interested in the classes I teach to vai before they set off from Gerudo Town?
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
That book was written by an amazing chef, Aurie Taamu. Just between us... He was the voe that our teacher was in love with once. Or so I hear... If you can't reach it, would you like me to read it for you?
— Dina (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Apparently she and the teacher of the relationship class, Ashai, were embroiled in a tragic love triangle... They're both still single, so I guess we know how that went...
— Cara (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Sav'saaba! Oh... Are you interested in taking my class "Voe and You"? I'm Ashai.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
During the day I teach a class on the voe of the world, and at night I teach cooking classes.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I teach a cooking class at my house at night. If you want, please stop by!
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
My "Voe and You" class is in the barracks. If you'd like, please stop by.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh... Are you interested in sitting in on my class "Voe and You"? It may even teach you a thing or two!
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
There's no hurry—we won't be starting until everyone has arrived.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh... Would you be interested in my class on interacting with voe in the world outside this town?
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Do you already care deeply for someone?
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
These young vai have never even met a voe before.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
It's my duty to help prepare them for what they'll encounter in the world beyond Gerudo Town, good and bad.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
OK, everyone! Let's show our cute observer what we've been learning in class!
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Now then... You're walking down the street on your way somewhere, and a handsome voe you've never met approaches...
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh! I would wave casually to him but also keep myself prepared in case he's a distraction for a bandit ambush!
— Pasha (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Excellent thinking, Pasha! That's a prudent approach to a new situation.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Remember that sometimes voe may look suspicious but are just being wary due to the sight of a daunting Gerudo.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh! I would enthusiastically greet him, approaching with a smile and with my hands clearly empty!
— Dina (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Wow, Dina, that's a very optimistic approach to take!
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Being overtly friendly is an excellent way to put the stranger's mind at ease!
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh! I would walk casually toward him and then strike a fierce blow when he least suspected it!
— Risa (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Risa... That would be a crime...
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
In your travels, you come upon an injured voe lying on the ground. What do you do?
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh! I immediately lift him up over my shoulder and carry him to the nearest person who can treat him!
— Pasha (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
That's a very proactive answer, Pasha! Always be aware that an injured person may have non-visible injuries before you move them, though!
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh! I would determine what was the matter and make a medicine on the spot to treat him!
— Dina (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Great answer, Dina! Just be careful that the voe doesn't have some sort of allergy to the ingredients in your medicine!
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh! I would secretly bring him back to my home, where I could help him gradually recover!
— Risa (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Risa...
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild)
A sweet sentiment...
But also basically kidnapping. - ↑
You are suddenly approached by a voe whose attention you've sought, and he abruptly engages you in conversation.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Hrm... I would pretend that I don't know how to speak his language.
— Pasha (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
That's an interesting approach, Pasha! You could inspire some curiosity in the voe by doing that... Remember: it isn't unrealistic that the voe may actually speak the language you pretend to know, too!
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh! I would take the up-close opportunity to determine his social standing based on the clothes he's wearing!
— Dina (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Ah, good thinking, Dina. Just remember that sometimes all of someone's good clothes are dirty, so they might wear something more casual.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh! I would grab his hand and twist his wrist until he agreed to marry me!
— Risa (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Wha... You'd... Risa... Let's talk after class.
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
People around me say it's a bit much, but I say as long as there is something to learn, why not keep learning?
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Heehee... You're wearing such an innocent expression, but you understand, yeah?
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Hmm... I was planning on creamy heart soup for the lesson today, but I'm being a bit forgetful, it seems. I know that I need some fresh milk, one voltfruit, one hydromelon, and two heart-shaped vegetables... I just can't recall what the heart-shaped vegetable was...
— Ashai (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Well, I'm sure it'll come back to me eventually... Can't afford to lose my momentum in life!
