While Link doesn't get sick very often, when he gets sick, he is completely out of commission - it's one of the few things that will make him stop and actually rest.
He knows all the most helpful medicinal herbs to be found through Hyrule, both because of his knight training and his journey to defeat the Calamity. He knows how to use these herbs to make helpful teas and brews to help him recover.
He also uses this knowledge to help others who are sick. If you're traveling with him and fall sick, he will make sure you rest and recover. Doesn't matter how minor the illness, he takes them all seriously.
Hasn't gotten sick for a while but absolutely hates being sick. She would rather not spend time in bed, not being productive. She has so much on her hands that she can't stand being bedridden.
She will argue that she's fine, she can keep working. She will argue until she is carried to bed. Once she's actually laying down, she'll typically agree to rest.
She knows almost as much about medicinal herbs as Link does and will ask for herbal teas with honey to help her feel better.
Gets sick more often than he'll ever admit. He powers through most of it, able to hide his symptoms from years of hiding when he's sick from his mothers.
Can be convinced to rest, but good luck getting him to take medicine - he hates the taste of medicinal herbs and will refuse to take any if he can help it. If hidden carefully in tasty food, he can be tricked into taking it.
He gets very cranky if he's been sick for more than a day and will make it known. He hates missing his morning training and will try to at least go for a run if someone doesn't stop him.
He gets sick easily because of a history of malnutrition but tends to keep it to himself - taking to his room to recover. He doesn't like others fretting over him, as it tends to fluster him and he's got a reputation to uphold.
He will let Kohga take care of him if his master and father figure insists, but he feels a little guilty forir - hasn't his Master done enough for him? How will he ever pay him back?
He sneezes like a kitten, don't ever let that get out, he will never live it down.
