Biography

Breath of the Wild

Lukan first appears in Breath of the Wild as a minor Gerudo NPC who can be found traveling throughout the Region of Gerudo. In particular, she travels between Gerudo Town and the Gerudo Canyon Stable, stopping at Kara Kara Bazaar along the way. She carries a Gerudo Shield and a Gerudo Scimitar.

When Link first meets Lukan, she notes that he looks like a regular traveler, but she is unsure. Lukan admits that she is a Gerudo Town soldier in disguise as a Merchant. Asking Link if he has heard of the Yiga Clan, Lukan explains that they have been causing trouble in Gerudo Town, and some of them have disguised as travelers to ambush people. The reason that Lukan herself is disguised is so she can catch them when they try to attack her. She believes that, since they were bold enough to infiltrate Gerudo Town, they will likely strike travelers as well.

If Link speaks to Lukan at the Gerudo Canyon Stable, she says that the Yiga Clan is bound to attack if anyone at the Stable lets their guard down. Lukan will spend her time carefully watching for suspicious people who may be Yiga Clan. Sometimes, Lukan be found sitting inside the Stable, though she claims that it is a bad place to rest due to the danger of the Yiga Clan.

As the day breaks, Lukan notices that the Heat is starting to increase. During the day, she remarks that it is "broiling." In the evening, she will be relieved that the weather is cooler. At night, she comments on how cold it is.

In the Gerudo Desert, Lukan tells Link not to go near the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, or else he will be struck by its Lightning. She then proclaims that the Gerudo know better than to go near the Divine Beast. Lukan has heard that Riju, the chief of the Gerudo, might be doing something about Naboris, but that it is still smart to stay away until then. Lukan also tells Link that Naboris has caused many problems since it showed up. She continues to say that everyone avoids the Divine Beast, and she tells Link should get somewhere safe before its Lightning strikes him. If Link speaks to Lukan again, she is surprised that he is still there, saying not to blame her if he is struck by Lightning.

After the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" Main Quest has been completed, Lukan informs Link that the Gerudo Desert is still dangerous. She tells him to make sure he is well-equipped before he journeys the Desert. She also warns Link about the dangers of sandstorms in the Gerudo Desert, and she tells him to avoid them if he values his life.

If Link speaks to Lukan at the Kara Kara Bazaar or Gerudo Town, she claims that she has been watching her surroundings and that there is no one suspicious in the area. In Gerudo Town, she is paranoid that the last of the Yiga Clan could attack at any moment. She will also tell Link that the Gerudo soldiers have been working to root out all surviving Yiga Clan members, and she is doing her part as well.

When Lukan is attacked by enemies while traveling, she will draw her Gerudo Scimitar to defend herself. If Link saves her, she will thank him. As a reward, she will give Link Chilly Mushroom Risotto.

Tears of the Kingdom

Lukan appears again in Tears of the Kingdom. Her character model from the previous game is unchanged, and she retains her Gerudo Scimitar and Gerudo Shield as well.

She is now found in South Hyrule Field, just north of Lake Hylia. She walks between the north gate of the Bridge of Hylia and the base of the Great Plateau, taking the path that runs next to Scout's Hill around the Forest of Time Chasm and through the Outpost Ruins. When she reaches the endpoint of her route at either the Great Plateau or the Bridge of Hylia, she will pause briefly and stand still before turning around and walking in the opposite direction.

Much of her dialogue concerns the Yiga Clan, and it seems that her purpose, as in the last game, is to search for Yiga members who may be hiding in plain sight with nefarious goals. She continues to put forth a vigilant attitude, never letting her guard down.

Lukan has several situational dialogue bubbles that appear over her head at different times. Multiple of these dialogue phrases relate to the warning she gives Link when he talks to her around Lake Hylia - that members of the Yiga Clan are disguising themselves amongst fruit in the woods around Faron. When she passes a platform with Hudson Construction Restoration Materials, she will comment on them. When she walks by the Forest of Time Chasm, she will advise Link to be careful. If it is raining, she will remark on it, and if it is storming, she will give a general warning about lightning.

If Link chooses to talk to her around the Forest of Time Chasm, she will remark that hiding in chasms seems like something the Yiga Clan would do, and furthermore, that suspicious figures have been seen in the chasms, though she isn't sure that they are in fact Yiga. Talking to her later will possibly yield similar dialogue in which she warns Link to keep his guard up if he ever goes near a chasm. This is a hint towards the Yiga's true presence within the Depths.

If Link saves Lukan from an enemy, she will gift Link a food item as a show of gratitude. These items include the Hasty Carrot Cake, which grants 4 hearts, as well as a low-level speed boost that lasts 5:40, and the Meat Skewer, which also grants 4 hearts.

Like many NPCs, Lukan will seek shelter along her usual path if it begins to rain. Talking to Lukan while she is sheltering from the rain will yield a unique dialogue in which she comments that it rarely rained in her home of Gerudo Town, so sheltering from the rain feels exciting.
