Starting the Quest
To start the "A Wife Washed Away" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, head to Lurelin Village located along the coast of the Faron region in the southeast part of the map. Once in the village, look for a NPC named Rozel who can be found near the cooking pot in the center of the village. Speak to Rozel and he will tell you about his missing wife, Laine, who was swept away by the sea.
Clues and Investigation
Rozel will provide you with important clues about Laine's whereabouts. He mentions that Laine was last seen heading towards the mysterious Toronbo Shores during the storm. Pick up on these hints and head towards Toronbo Shores, which is east of Lurelin Village. Explore the shoreline and look for any signs or traces that may lead you to Laine's whereabouts. Be on the lookout for any items, footprints, or other clues that might help you in your search.
Searching Toronbo Shores
Once you reach Toronbo Shores, carefully comb the area for any signs of Laine. The shoreline is expansive, so make sure to explore thoroughly. Keep an eye out for any unique landmarks, such as a stranded boat or any peculiar objects that could guide you in the right direction. Use your Sheikah Slate's camera to take pictures of any potential clues or items of interest that you come across.
Rescuing Laine
After gathering enough information and investigating Toronbo Shores, you may stumble upon Laine, who is stranded on a small island just off the coast. You will need to find a way to reach her and help her return safely to her husband. Use your exploration and puzzle-solving skills to navigate the terrain and reach Laine's location. Be prepared to encounter obstacles along the way, such as enemies or environmental hazards that may impede your progress.
Getting Laine Back to Rozel
Once you have successfully located Laine and ensured her safety, it's time to escort her back to Lurelin Village to reunite her with Rozel. Accompany Laine on her journey back to the village, making sure she is safe from any threats or dangers that may arise. Be vigilant and protect her from any potential harm that may come your way during the trip. Upon returning to Lurelin Village, lead Laine to Rozel and witness their heartwarming reunion after being separated for so long.
Completing the Quest
By successfully reuniting Laine with Rozel in Lurelin Village, you have completed the "A Wife Washed Away" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Rozel will express his gratitude for your efforts in finding his wife and bringing her back safely. As a reward for your assistance, Rozel may offer you a token of appreciation, such as a valuable item or rupees.
