Jerrin
Jerrin is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[5][6]
Biography
Breath of the Wild
Jerrin is a Hylian researcher who lives in the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab with her husband, Robbie.[3] The focus of her research is Ancient Shrines.[7] She previously worked as a research assistant to Purah at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, but Impa had her sent to help Robbie instead.[2] After arriving at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab, she began to carry the Blue Flame from Tumlea Heights, and she also reworked Robbie's design for the Ancient Oven.[8] Not long after, they ended up married.[9]
When the Ancient Oven's redesign was completed, Jerrin became jealous of Robbie's interactions with the machine, which Robbie referred to as "Cherry" after his first love.[10][11] Though she knew her feelings were illogical, she was in tears when she finally admitted them to Robbie.[12] The pair decided to restore Cherry's mechanical way of speaking,[13] and Robbie instead began to refer to it as the Ancient Oven.[14][15] Some time after this incident, Jerrin gave birth to her and Robbie's son, Granté.[16]
When Link first arrives at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab, Jerrin will stand by as Robbie confronts him for trespassing.[17] Afterwards, if Link tries to talk to Jerrin, she calls him suspicious and refuses to speak with him unless he proves that he knows Robbie.[18] Due to trade secrets, she is wary of sharing information with Link.[19]
Once Link has confirmed his identity to Robbie, Jerrin will excitedly greet him with an imitation of Purah.[20] However, she becomes concerned that it was too much for their first meeting.[21] If Link agrees it was too much, Jerrin assures him that everything is fine.[22] Alternatively, if Link tells that it was not too much, Jerrin is relieved that he is so friendly.[23]
Jerrin then asks Link what he needs from her.[24] If Link asks who she is, she will properly introduce herself.[25] She explains that she is an amateur scholar with a focus on Ancient Shrines.[7] The topic reminds Jerrin that Link needs to go to the left eye of Skull Lake, as there is an Ancient Shrine there.[26] She informs Link that the left eye is higher up than the right eye, where Kilton sets up the Fang and Bone.[27] This initiates "The Skull's Eye" Shrine Quest.
After Link completes the Shrine Quest, Jerrin will be able to tell that he visited Skull Lake.[28] When Link is confused, Jerrin explains she has a magical Sheikah nose implant that enhances her sense of smell.[29] At Link's silence, however, she reveals that she is joking.[30] As Link appears to be humorless, she surmises that his visit to Zuna Kai Shrine did not go smoothly.[31] She thanks Link for his report, but since the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab is short on funding, she is unable to give him a reward.[32]
Link can also ask Jerrin about Robbie, who she explains that he is a researcher of ancient civilizations who studied Guardians at Hyrule Castle 100 years ago.[33] She also reveals that she and Robbie are married.[3] This shocks Link, so Jerrin happily shares that they run the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab and have a son together.[34]
After hearing about Granté, Link can ask Jerrin about him.[4] Jerrin asks Link if he has seen him during his travels.[35] If Link says that he has, Jerrin will be relieved.[36] She stills considers Granté to be a work in progress, and once he is done studying Armor, she hopes he will take over her own research.[37] If Link says that he has not, Jerrin asks him to be nice to him if they ever meet.[38] In subsequent conversations, if Link changes his answer about whether or not he has met Granté, Jerrin will notice the discrepency.[39][40]
Tears of the Kingdom
Since the start of the Upheaval, Jerrin and Robbie have resided at Lookout Landing. Jerrin can be found in the Emergency Shelter, where she uses a Broom to clear away dust.[41]
When Link approaches Jerrin, she recognizes him, and she invites him to make use of the Emergency Shelter's services.[42][43] However, she warns him not to kick up any dust, since she has spent a lot of time cleaning.[44] In particular, she has noticed that the spot that she is cleaning gets incredibly dusty.[45]
Nomenclature
Jerrin is named after the fruit, tangerine.
