Laissa is a character in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
Laissa is Rito, residing in Rito Village. She lives with Bedoli at their home, located right near the Akh Va'quot Shrine. She spends her entire day pacing back and forth in her home, just thinking. When Link approaches her, she wonders what Link is doing here, referring to adventueres like him as crazy.[1] Laissa is very stressed out with Divine Beast Vah Medoh up above. If she was a properly trained soldier, she would fly straight at the beast and try to take it down.[2] Instead though, she lives in fear, thinking that Vah Medoh can simply bomb the village at anytime.[3]
Laissa will head off to bed at 9pm, where she sleeps in her bed at the top of her home.[4] If Link is nearby when it becomes 9pm, she won't actually jump in the bed, but if Link walks away and comes back, Laissa will already be sleeping. Laissa will wake up each morning at 5am.
Tears of the Kingdom
Laissa can be found with Gesane, as they are exploring the Hebra South Summit Cave in search for supplies for Rito Village. When Link arrives, Laissa wonders what a Hylian like him is doing there.[5] As part of the Tulin of Rito Village quest, Link will seak out Laissa, Gesane, and Tulin. After finding Laissa at the entrance of the Hebra South Summit Cave, he informs Link that Gesane and Tulin have run up ahead. Although Laissa will not show Link the way, as she needs to keep an eye out on the supplies she has already gathered. Furthermore, she warns Link of the enemy Horriblin that is up ahead, advising Link to avoid it if possible.[6][7]
The White Bird's Guidance
- Main article: The White Bird's Guidance
After the Blizzard has subsided, Laissa can be found back at Rito Village. She remarks that she once saw a cave which had a rock wreathed in green light inside it while she was looking for a white bird. This will begin the The White Bird's Guidance Shrine Quest.
Speaking with Laissa, she first thanks Link about helping Tulin clear the Blizzard. Now that things are clear, visibility is good as well. Laissa mentions seeing a cave that had a green rock, much like the one that is just beneath the general store. She found it while searching for a white bird.[8] The green rock beneath the general store she's referring is from Gatakis Shrine, indicating the cave is found to the west, just near a shrine location. Laissa mentions that there was mushrooms and fish found within the cave and that it would be a perfect place to stock up on supplies.[9]
Laissa mentinos seeing a White Bird, which guided her to the cave. When standing on Vah Medo's Perch at the very top of Rito Village very early in the morning, Laissa looked to the west and saw a white bird resting atop the long shadow of the perch. It peaked Laissa's interest enough that she flew over and that's where she found the cave, almost as if the bird was leading Link to the cave.[10] The area around the cave is nothing special or memorable, but she mentions there was a rock wreathed in green light, indicating there is a Shrine of Light within the cave.[11][12]
After completing the quest, Link can return to Laissa to inform her that he found that cave. Laissa is delighted about this news and mentions that she's going to find Bedoli so the two can go check out the cave together.[13] The two are hoping to bring back some food from the cave, back to the village.[14]

- ↑ Hello. What are you doing here? You adventurers are crazy. - Laissa
- ↑ What do you mean, "what"? You see Divine Beast Vah Medoh flying around up there? The village is in disarray thanks to that thing. If I were a properly trained soldier, I'd go straight at the beast and bring it down... - Laissa
- ↑ Hmph... Thanks to Divine Beast Vah Medoh, our village is under siege! It could bomb us all at any given moment! - Laissa
- ↑ I'm about to turn in for the night. Come back tomorrow. - Laissa
- ↑ "Didn't think I'd be seeing anyone else in these mountains anytime soon, what with the blizzard and all. I'M here because it's a good place to find food for my people. Why are YOU here?" — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Looking for Tulin, huh? Fair enough. He's farther in this cave with Gesane. They're scavenging for food. No, I'm not going to show you the way. I need to keep an eye on what we've amassed so far. Be on your guard. There's a creature in that cave that hops around on the walls. It probably won't bother you if you stay away from it. Good luck finding Tulin." — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "If you're looking for Tulin, he and Gesane went deep into the cave to scavenge for food. It's a long way to where they are though, and I can't exactly go with you. The moment I take my eyes off our stuff, I just know some monster's going to come along and snatch it. If you're going in to find Tulin, watch out for the creature that hops around on the walls in there. I don't think it'll hurt you if you stay away from it, but you never know." — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Hmm. That cave...where was it again? Oh, hello. Hey! If it isn't the guy who worked with Tulin to save the village. Everyone in the village is happy to stretch their wings again without them icing over. So thanks for that. And the end end of the blizzard has improved visibility too. It's much easier now to find caves where we can gather food! I saw one just the other day, in fact, while I was flying around...but I forgot exactly where it was. It had a rock wreathed inside it, just like the one beneath the general store. Just where did I see that cave, anyway? I found it while I was looking for that white bird..." — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Yeah...there were mushrooms in it and a pond with fish. It would've been the perfect place to stock up on supplies. All I remember is that I found it while looking for that white bird." — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Yeah. Have you ever looked up at the peak of the spire here in Rito Village? That bit jutting out sideways looks kind of like a bird's perch, right? We call it Vah Medoh's perch. Part of my morning routine is to head up there and bask in the sun as it rises. That day, I was getting some sun up on the perch, same as always, just when the dawn was breaking. Right about then...I looked to the west and saw a white bird resting atop the long shadow of the perch. It's weird for a bird to rest on a shadow, right? I was curious, so I went to go have a look where I saw the bird. Thing is, I couldn't find the white bird again after that. Instead, I found a cave entrance. It's kind of like the white bird led me to that cave. I don't know why I can remember all that so clearly, but not where the cave was... Hmmm. This is frustrating." — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Hmm. Was there anything that stood out? Let me think... I was lucky to find it. I don't think the area around the entrance was anything special or memorable. But it was right next to a resting white bird. That much, I do remember. Deep inside, I could make out a rock wreathed in green light like the one that's beneath the general store now." — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Ugh. If I could just remember where I found it, we'd have one more place to search for food." — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "What? You found the cave?! Huh! So the "bird" I saw was some snow that overlapped with the perch's shadow. What a relief! I feel so much better now that I know what was going on there. Thanks! I'm going to find Bedoli so we can check out the cave together!" — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Thanks for tracking down that cave. Bedoli is over there organizing the supplies, so I'll wait until she's free to invite her to go check it out. The more bodies we bring, the more food we can haul back to the village." — Laissa, Tears of the Kingdom
