===Quest and Miniquest Appearances===
Linza appears in the following quests and miniquests:
*In the quest [[Deadliest Catch]], Linza is smithing at the anvils at [[Hemenster]].
*Although she does not appear, Linza is mentioned in the [[Fremennik Saga]] [[Three's Company]], wherein [[Ariane]], [[Ozan]], and [[Sir Owen]] are finding new [[Smithing]] ores and techniques for her.
*Linza appears in the opening cutscene for the Burthorpe tutorial, where she smiths a sword that she gives to the player. She then waits outside a mine that the player and Ozan enter to search for trolls. She is also freed from a cave in by the player.

==Trivia==
*Linza was smithing a red sword during [[Deadliest Catch]], leading some to believe that it was a [[Dragon Sword]], but it has been confirmed that it was merely very hot.{{CiteForum|author=Mod Mark|url=http://www.webcitation.org/5zJMmcsRc|title=Game Update FAQ - 07/06/11|forum=Recent Updates|postdate=7 June 2011|date=11:39, June 9, 2011 (UTC)}}
*There is a loading screen message saying that Linza may teach the player blurite, elemental, barbarian or dragon smithing, hinting at possible future releases. Though this may also mean the already existing techniques to smith [[The Knight's Sword#rewards|blurite]], [[Elemental workshop|elemental]], [[Barbarian_training#Barbarian_Smithing|barbarian]], [[Dragon_platebody#Smithing|dragon]].
*After completing Elemental Workshop I she thanks for re-opening the Elemental Workshop and says that the elemental bars are hard to smith despite her high ability in smithing.
*After the completion of [[While Guthix Sleeps]] Linza will speak to the player about lighting the [[Dragon forge]] and using the [[Blast fusion hammer]] even if the player never lit the Dragon forge, lacks 92 Smithing, and hasn't obtained a blast fusion hammer.
