Breath of the Wild
Botrick is a watchman who can be seen patrolling the roads around the Outskirt Stable.[1][2] He wields a Traveler's Sword and a Wooden Shield.
When Botrick walks up the pathway head north, he will stop to take a look in the distance at the Satori Mountain. He mentions that normally there are very few animals that make their home on the mountain, but occasionally the Lord of the Mountain will appear, which causes all sorts of other animals to also appear.[3] While heading back towards the stable, Botrick will tell Link that if he'd like to head to Rito Village, he should travel through the Tabantha Frontier. However, he warns Link of the enemy Guardians that are found along the path.[4][5]
When Botrick returns to the stable, he will advise Link that if he going to keep traveling, he best prepare his weapons and equipment to defend himself.[6] He will also talk about the legendary weapons that can be found within Hyrule Castle, but advises Link to stay away as it is way to dangerous.[7] When Botrick gets up and begins his patrol once again, he will talk about the Coliseum Ruins that are right on the other side of the rocky mountains to the east. The area is filled with fell monsters and it is a fairly dangerous area to go to.[8][9][10]
Botrick will also double as a vendor, where he deals in Arrows.[11][12][13] He sells regular arrows and Fire Arrows, but on rainy days, he will also deal in Ice Arrows.

Tears of the Kingdom
Botrick can be found inside of the Stalry Plateau Cave, found along the Gerudo Canyon Pass. When Link first arrives, Botrick is hiding behind a rock, scared of the enemy Lizalfos that attack the cave.[14]
Despite being the groups bodyguard, Botrick is not very good at his job. He is scared of monsters and also falls asleep when he's on watch. When Link catches him, he asks Link not to tell the others that he fell asleep.
Disaster in Gerudo Canyon
- Main article: Disaster in Gerudo Canyon
After Link speaks with Nenea and Quince at the Gerudo Canyon Pass, this will begin the Disaster in Gerudo Canyon quest. Three of their friends have not returned after investigating the area. Botrick is one of them, found within the Stalry Plateau Cave.
After Link defeats the two Fire-Breath Lizalfos that attack, Botrick will come out of hiding. He thanks Link for helping fight them off and then runs off to return to his friends.[15]
Botrick returns to the camp and will give Link some advice on where he can find Giro and Garill, the other two missing members of the group.[16]

- ↑ On the other side of those rocky mountains to the east are the ancient Coliseum Ruins... It's a fell place, teeming with monsters. Only scavengers hunting for weapons dare to go near the ruins. - Botrick
- ↑ A long time ago, there used to be an arena for combat nearby, but it's fallen to ruin and is a home for foul monsters. I suppose you could say it still IS an arena for combat, but more the life-or- death-against-monsters variety. - Botrick

- ↑ You can really never be too prepared. If you need proper gear for adventuring, you've come to the right fellow! - Botrick
- ↑ I apologize for only having arrows. But arrows are something that you can never have too many of, am I right? - Botrick

- ↑ "Wow, you're strong! Whew. You might think I'm a hopeless coward...and you wouldn't be entirely wrong. But I'm also a bodyguard. I was traveling with my friends, but we got separated. Then I saw those monsters and I completely froze up. Don't tell anyone...OK? I'd better get going. My friends will surely feel safer with a fearless bodyguard by their side... Heh. See ya!" — Botrick, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Hmm? Wha-? I wasn't sleeping! I was closing my eyes so I could listen for intruders! Oh...it's you from before! I thought one of my friends might have caught me snoozing on the job. I owe you an apology for having to save a professional bodyguard from monsters. You haven't mentioned that to the others, have you? I wouldn't want them rethinking their decision to hire me. On that note...it's odd that Giro and Garill still haven't come back. Giro has a real weakness for fish. I wouldn't be surprised if he headed toward the river. As for Garill, he's an energetic guy and likes to admire the scenery. He might've raced down the path to get a good view. I'd search for them myself, but I'm still a little shaken up..." — Botrick, Tears of the Kingdom
