Biography
Breath of the Wild
Nali is a Gerudo woman who resides in Gerudo Town. During the day, she can be found in the center of Town, occasionally speaking to Pritana.[4][5] At night, she sleeps in her House next to the Barracks, which she shares with Pritana.[6][7]
During Pritana's conversation with Nali, Pritana says she cannot believe that Riju's Thunder Helm was stolen by thieves.[8] Nali then recalls that the Thunder Helm was favored by Urbosa, and she explains that it has been passed from chief to chief for generations.[9][10] Pritana feels sorry for Riju due to how young she is.[11] Nali has heard that the Gerudo guards suspect a group of assassins stole the Helm.[12] With this, Pritana reasons that this must be why the Barracks have been noisy lately.[13]
While Nali is walking around the Gerudo Town market, she asks if Link if he is a Hylian.[14] She claims to be impressed whenever a Hylian is able to cross the Gerudo Desert.[15] Following this, Nali asks if Link is also shopping, revealing that she is searching for Mighty Bananas.[16] If Link asks about Mighty Bananas, Nali explains that they are full of protein and calories and that eating them grants power.[17] Though they are often available at the Kara Kara Bazaar, not many of them are available.[18][19] Quietly, she admits that she is unable to ride a Sand Seal, which means it is difficult for her to make the journey, but she asks Link not to tell anyone.[20] Nali has also heard a rumor about a group that only eats Mighty Bananas, which depletes their stock in the Gerudo Desert.[21]
If Link speaks to Nali after she wakes up in the morning, she comments that it is strange to see a tourist in Gerudo Town and explains that the Divine Beast Vah Naboris has been deterring outsiders.[22] She wishes there were more "brave vai" like Link who are willing to make the journey.[23] After Divine Beast Vah Naboris has been calmed, Nali will be more energetic in the morning.[24] She explains that she was never able to sleep well between the Divine Beast's stomping and Pritana returning home late at night.[25] However, with Vah Naboris's rampage coming to an end, she explains that she wakes up feeling refreshed now.[26]
When Link approaches Nali during the night, she informs him that he will freeze if he leaves Gerudo Town wearing the Gerudo Outfit.[27] Though she would like to invite him to stay at her House, she is already sharing her room with Pritana.[28] Instead, she suggests checking out the Hotel Oasis, as there may still be rooms available.[29]
After Divine Beast Vah Naboris has been calmed, Pritana will note to Nali that the Divine Beast has gotten quiet.[30] Hearing this, Nali realizes that she has not felt any rocking or shaking as of late.[31] Pritana then wonders if this is due to the Thunder Helm being returned to the Royal Palace.[32]

Good grief... I can't believe the chief's heirloom was stolen by thieves...

Oh, the helmet that was supposed to be Lady Urbosa's favorite, right?
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
It's been handed down from chief to chief for generations. Apparently the chief is pretty distressed.

She's still so small, too... Poor thing...
— Pritana (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
They have an idea of who committed the theft, but the thieves aren't amateurs... I heard they're professional assassins.

That explains why the barracks have been noisier than usual.

Are you a Hylian?
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
It's always impressive when a Hylian makes it across the desert.
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Are you shopping too? I'm seeing if there are any mighty bananas here...
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
[Mighty bananas?] Mighty bananas are absolutely loaded with protein and calories, you know. Eating them will fill you with power!
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
They're always up for sale at Kara Kara Bazaar, even though there may not be a ton of them.

They're available at Kara Kara Bazaar, though there may not be a ton of them.
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
If I'm being honest, I can't sand-seal surf at all, so I can't travel far. Oh, please don't tell anyone.
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I've heard about a tribe that only eats mighty bananas. Whenever they're available, the tribe buys all it can.
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Strange to see a tourist like you these days. We haven't seen many outsiders around here lately, thanks to that Divine Beast...
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I wish there were more brave vai like you out there.
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Another beautiful morning!
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
My roommate Pritana used to go out on the town and loudly get home really late at night... Between that and the Divine Beast's stomping... I really never got a good night's sleep.
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
But ever since the Divine Beast was calmed, I wake up feeling totally refreshed!
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
...Wait, if you go outside wearing that, you'll freeze your bum right off.
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I'd offer to let you stay at my house, but I'm already sharing my room, so I can't...
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
It's possible that Romah's hotel may have some open rooms tonight. You can go check there. It's a very relaxing place.
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Speaking of which, the Divine Beast has gotten quiet, huh?
— Pritana (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Now that you mention it, I haven't noticed any rocking or shaking at all...
— Nali (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I wonder if this has something to do with the chief's heirloom being returned...
