When Link is walking through the forest, she doesn't expect to find a bunch of strangers in the woods, and she tossed some Mighty Bananas in their paths from the tree she was hiding in.

She absolutely did not think that they were looking for her, but a little misdirection was needed to uncover the motives of the group of eight. ***Tears of the Kingdom spoilers btw***
