Breath of the Wild

Laroba is a traveling Gerudo who will travel between the South Akkala Stable and the East Akkala Stable. She wields a Gerudo Scimitar and a Gerudo Shield that she can use to defend herself against monsters in the region. Laroba believes there is a time to stand and fight, as well as a time to cut and run, and that is dependent on the condition of your weapons. Although whenever Laroba gets ambushed, she will always run off in search of safety. If she gets attacked by an enemy, Link can fight off the enemy for her, and she will reward Link with an Elixir or a Meal.

As a traveler, she likes to have a goal of where she wants to go and then occasionally checks her map, to get her bearings.

She has some general knowledge of the Akkala province, including some information on Skull Lake, located to the north. She mentions that at nighttime, Link will find Fang and Bone, the shop that is run by Kilton. She seems to know a bit about Ancient Arrows as well, advising Link to look for some of them if he finds himself exploring Hyrule Castle. She also advises Link that when using arrows, to aim for the head of monsters and the eyes of Guardians.

Laroba will talk about how at one time, the various races of Hyrule would not really interact, but things have changed. In Akkala in particular, there are some Zora, Goron, and Rito, all living side by side and she likes it.

She travels the world, but she isn't looking for glory, money, or for thrills, but rather, she travels for love. She comments that whenever it rains, it helps her cool off from staring at various men she encounters. Having traveled all the way from the Gerudo Desert in search of love, her favorite parts of her journey are meeting people and hearing about their thoughts and perspectives. Whenever Laroba meets a man, regardless of their age, size, or even race, she takes a good hard look at them, to see if they fit what she's looking for in a man. She admits that it probably makes her appear as a creep.

Tears of the Kingdom

Laroba is a traveling Gerudo, who can be found along the path between the Wetland Stable, traveling southward. She then takes the path eastward, heading towards the Lanayru Wetlands. She mentions that Link can reach Zora's Domain, but that the road is a bit run-down, so it makes for a difficult journey. Laroba will make it to Goponga Island, before turning back around and heading back.

Laroba warns Link of some monsters near the Lanayru Wetlands. She mentions that they have been camping by some nearby ruins and that Link should be careful.

After traveling to Gopona Island and turning around, Laroba mentions wanting to travel to Kakariko Village to check out the Ring Ruins. Despite saying she is going to travel to Kakariko Village and speaking more about the Ring Ruins, Laroba travels north, back towards Wetland Stable. When resting at the Wetland Stable, Laroba gives Link some advice regarding Splash Fruit. She encourages Link to always pick them when he finds them, as it allows him to have water whenever and wherever he goes.

When it begins to rain, Laroba will take cover under a nearby hot. She mentions that long ago, she saw a man come out of a cave, completely drenched. She couldn't understand how he'd be so wet, but remembers hearing rumors of a cave that had rain falling inside of it.

As Laroba travels through the Wetlands, some Lizalfos in the area may attack. She'll thank Link if he helps her out, giving him some Hasty Vegetable Curry as a reward.

2. ↑ Hey, kid! Even the best bow is useless if your quiver runs dry, right? I mean what else are you going to do with it? Life has a funny way of throwing you for a loop, and it's not always as nice as bumping into a cutire out of nowhere. Make sure you stock up on arrows before something bumps into you. Get me? - Laroba

6. ↑ Check your map for a pond in the north that looks like a skull. If it's not on there yet, you'll know it when you see it. That pond at night is where you'll run into Fang and Bone, if you've got the stomach for it. - Laroba

9. ↑ You there! Hylian kid! It's nice to meet you. Out here in Akkala, we have all sorts: Zora, Goron, Rito, you name it. Time was, we didn't mix much, but things change. And I'm glad they have! Some people travel the world for glory, for money, for thrills... But me, I do it for love. Easy there, though, kid. You're way too young for me. - Laroba

14. ↑ "Sav'aaq! Oh, hey, kid. Keep your eyes peeled around these parts, OK? The Lanayru Wetlands have been the monsters' turf for a long time, so there are lots of creeps hanging around. I heard some of them even set up camp in the ruins nearby. If you're going that way, you'd better be ready for things to get ugly!" — Laroba, Tears of the Kingdom
