Biography
Breath of the Wild
Meghyn is a Hylian who travels Hyrule Kingdom searching for Hearty Truffles with her sister, Nat.[5] When Link encounters them, the sisters will be under attack by a pair of Bokoblins. Meghyn and Nat can be found in the Ginner Woods, along the Ternio Trail south of Foothill Stable, and in the Sarjon Woods.
While she is being attacked, Meghyn will run away in fear.[6][7][8] After the Bokoblin has been defeated, she will be relieved.[9][10][11] When spoken to, she she thanks Link for his help by giving him Food, Materials, or Rupees.[12][13] Afterwards, she states that Nat's idea to search for Hearty Truffles is the reason they got in danger.[14]
If Link speaks to Meghyn again, she claims that she never wanted to go hunting for Hearty Truffles, blaming Nat for their predicament.[15] After both Bokoblins have been defeated, she is surprised that she and Nat have survived.[16] She recalls that the Bokoblins appeared out of nowhere.[17] She harbors some resentment towards Nat, who refuses to let them return home without Hearty Truffles.[18] If Meghyn was knocked unconscious by a Bokoblin, she continues to blame Nat.[19] Alternatively, if Link saves Meghyn while Nat is still in danger, Meghyn will be concerned for her sister.[20][21]
While they are scouring for Hearty Truffles, Meghyn remarks that she wants to go home.[22] She recalls that she told Nat it would be risky to go hunting.[23] She claims that Nat becomes unreasonable when she thinks about Rupees.[24] Nat tells Meghyn to return to their search, reminding her that they will not return home until they find Hearty Truffles.[25] With a sigh, Meghyn agrees with her.[26]
When Link speaks to Nat, she tells him about her and Meghyn's journey and reasoning behind searching for Hearty Truffles, claiming there is no reward without a risk.[27] Meghyn becomes angered by this, standing up and telling Nat not to make it sound as though they only care about Rupees.[28] She reminds Nat that whatever money they make is not worth it if they do not survive to spend it at home.[29] Nat argues back, stating they will either practice fighting or find Hearty Truffles, and she considers both of these scenarios to be a win.[30] Meghyn becomes despondent, claiming that Nat will be the death of her.[31]

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!

Oh nooooo!

Yikes! Help!

Somebody, please!

Phew...

Hoh...

That was close...

That was exciting...up until it turned terrifying. Thanks for all your help.

Just when I was sure I knew how I was going to die... The world is full of surprises. Like you!

It was my sister's harebrained idea to hunt for truffles here that got us into this mess.
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I never even saw them coming! This is exactly why I didn't want to go truffle hunting. Lousy Nat...
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I can't believe we're alive.
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
We were minding our own business, hunting for truffles, and then wham! Monsters out of nowhere.
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I blame my sister, really. She's the one who refuses to go home until we find some hearty truffles.
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Ooooh... I blame my sister entirely for this. "Let's go hunt for truffles!" she says. "It'll be fun!" she says.
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
It's not too late for my sister, right? Right?!
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Nat! Oh, this is just perfect...
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I want to go home...
— 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.
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
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.
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
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! 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. 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!
— Meghyn (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
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) - ↑
Now that we've found the mushroom haven, I feel recharged and ready for another adventure! No time to waste. This world's filled with mushrooms, and we've gotta see them all! Take care now, OK? And if you run into us again, you better say hi!
