Gaddison is a character in Breath of the Wild.[2]

Biography[]

Gaddison is a Zora guard for Zora's Domain who can be found guarding the eastern bridge, wielding a Zora Spear. In her youth, Gaddison was part of the Big Bad Bazz Brigade with Bazz and Rivan.[1] Before the Great Calamity, Link would play with her and her friends.[3]

When Link first approaches Gaddison, she reports that the east gate to Zora's Domain is clear.[4] However, she quickly recognizes Link, calling him a sight for sore eyes.[5] She realizes that Link must be the Hylian that Sidon brought to the Domain.[6]

However, Gaddison notes that Link has not changed at all in 100 years,[7] but she dismisses it as she does not have time to chat.[8] She is supposed to watching the East Reservoir Lake as part of her job, but she asserts that she can talk to Link later.[9]

Once Link has calmed Divine Beast Vah Ruta, Gaddison notices the clear sky wonders whether Sidon managed to stop the Divine Beast.[10] She is still wary of the water level of the Reservoir, even after Ruta has stopped spouting water.[11] She shares some of the history of Divine Beast Vah Ruta, such as Mipha being its 100 years ago, and wonders if Seggin managed to fire Shock Arrows at it.[12]

Gaddison is seen in the crowd of Zora in the Throne Room who watch as King Dorephan praises Link. She is grateful for all that Link has done,[13] as she can return to her work and Zora's Domain can receive tourists again.[14][15]

During the "From the Ground Up" Side Quest, Link can ask Gaddison about her name.[16] When Link tells her that is looking for someone like her, she asks what he needs.[17] However, since he is looking for someone who can act as a priest,[18] Gaddison will refuse him.[19] She considers herself a blood-stained soldier who could never be a priest,[20] but says that Kapson could help him.[21]

After Kapson has left, Gaddison will inform Link that he departed for Akkala.[22] She suggests a shortcut to Akkala to Link, telling him to climb the Waterfalls of Mikau Lake and Lulu Lake.[23] However, she is concerned for Kapson to be crossing the mountains at his age, though his good health puts her at ease.[24]

Trivia[]

  • Gaddison is one of several characters that will hit Link back if he attacks them with a Weapon.[25][26][27] These attacks deal no damage.
