Biography
Breath of the Wild
Nat is a Hylian woman who can be encountered at several locations throughout Hyrule. She and her sister, Meghyn, are hunting for Hearty Truffles.[5] They can be encountered in the Ginner Woods, along the Ternio Trail south of Foothill Stable, and in the Sarjon Woods, where they will be under attack by a pair of Bokoblins.
When attacked by a Bokoblin, Nat will run away in fear.[6][7][8] If Link speaks to her at this time, she will be panicking about what to do and whether Meghyn is alright.[9][10] When Nat wakes up after being knocked unconscious by a Bokoblin, she complains about how she and Meghyn were ambushed.[11] Should a Bokoblin knock Meghyn unconscious, Nat will shout and beg her to wake up.[12][13]
Once Link defeats the Bokoblins, Nat will be relieved.[14] If Link approaches her, she asks if he is a "wandering do-gooder," giving him Food or Rupees as a reward.[15] She then resolves to return to hunting for Hearty Truffles.[16] After the situation has been resolved, she explains to Link that she and Meghyn are searching for Hearty Truffles, and she acknowledges that it is dangerous for them to do so.[5] However, when she thinks about the taste of Hearty Truffles, she decides to ignore the warnings.[17]
Nat and Meghyn then begin to scavenge for Hearty Truffles at the base of a nearby Tree, with Nat trying to calm herself with breathing techniques.[18] When Link approaches Nat, she explains that Hearty Truffles are capable of soothing one's fatigue and restoring their health.[19] She once again admits that it is dangerous for her and Meghyn, recalling that they have been attacked before.[20] Despite this, she believes that they will receive a great reward for the risks they take.[21] Meghyn then stands, reminding Nat that they should value their lives more than any Rupees they could make.[22] Nat argues that they will be fine, as they will either practice fighting or find Hearty Truffles.[23] Meghyn asserts that Nat will be the death of her.[24]
When Link speaks to Meghyn, she recounts telling Nat that their Hearty Truffle-hunting location would be dangerous, but she was unable to convince her due to her desire for Rupees.[25] Nat then snaps at Meghyn to continue their hunt, as they will not return home until they find Hearty Truffles.[26] Meghyn sighs, but she ultimately agrees that Nat is right.[27]

I blame my sister, really. She's the one who refuses to go home until we find some hearty truffles.

Oh, hi again! My little sister, Meghyn, and I split up to see if we can discover new types of mushrooms. Can you help me out? Just kidding! I want to know I beat her all by myself.

We're traveling all over to find hearty truffles. I know, I know—it's dangerous for two folks to travel on their own these days. You don't have to tell me twice!

There's still some monsters left. Is my sister gonna be OK?

Eesh... They never fight fair! They always lurk in wait to ambush us. What a bunch of cowards! Seems like every time I go out hunting for hearty truffles, I'm taking my life in my hands.

Nooo! Meghyn!

Meghyn, wake up... Come on! Meghyn!

That was close...

Are you some kind of wandering do-gooder? Because the world could really use a few more of those! Thanks!

Time to stop floofing around here. Let's get back to the hunt for hearty truffles!
— Nat (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
But when I think about how wonderful those truffles taste, all the worries and warnings melt away.

Breathe in... Breathe out...

Hearty truffles aren't your run-of-the-mill mushrooms you find growing on half the trees in the forest. They're a gourmet treat that soothes your fatigue and brings you back up to tip-top shape!
— Nat (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I know that it's dangerous for the two of us to be out here without protection. We've been in our share of scrapes.
— Nat (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
But there's no reward without risk, right?
— Nat (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Nat! Try not to make it sound so much like we only care about the money! It's not worth anything if we don't make it back home to spend it, you know?
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
It'll be fine! Either we get a little practice fighting, or we find more hearty truffles. Win-win, right?
— Nat (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
You are going to be the death of me.
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I told Nat that our luck would run out in about five minutes flat if we went truffle hunting here. But when those visions of rupees start dancing in her head, there's no getting through to her anymore.
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Less talking, more hunting! Remember, Meghyn, nobody goes home until we find those hearty truffles!
— Nat (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
*sigh* She's right. The sooner we find those truffles, the sooner this will all be over with.
