Hino is a character from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Breath of the Wild

Hino can be found at the Dueling Peaks Stable. He spends most of his days and nights pondering about the Blood Moon.[1] If Link asks him about the Blood Moon, he will talk about its basic functionality on how monsters will come back to life.[2][3]

Link can also ask Hino about tonight's moon, and what he says will vary from day to day. [4] While it's raining, Hino runs inside the stable and will not be able to tell Link about tonight's moon. [5]

As Hino is awake late each night, he does not go to bed until 3am. He sleeps in the stable, waking up each day around 12-noon. At that point he walks over to his spot, just outside of the stable pondering about that night's Blood Moon.

On nights due for a blood moon, Hino will get overly excited and will start to run around in a circle around the stable, celebrating the occasion with blood red text. When the moon begins to rise, and Link asks about tonight's moon, he will say "Tonight is the blood moon, at last..." If Link talks to Hino during a blood moon when the sky is turning red, it will turn blue briefly. After Link is done talking to him, the sky will turn back to red. [6][7][8]

Tears of the Kingdom

Hino can be found being held captive in a monster fort, located at the west end of the Passeri Greenbelt. His is continuing his life's work of researching the Blood Moon. After explaining that on some evenings, the moon rises full and red, causing defeated monsters to appear again. While doing his research, he got a bit too close and was captured by the monsters of the fort.[9] As a thanks for saving him, Hino will give Link a trio of meals, incluing some Salt-Grilled Meat, Sneaky Meat and Seafood Fry, and Fairy Tonic.[10][11]

Hino also gets caught and is held captive at the enemy base at the Farosh Hills. After defeating numerous enemies, Link can lift the cage up with Ultrahand to free Hino. As a thanks for saving him, he will award Link with some Salt-Grilled Mushrooms, a Hasty Fish and Mushroom Skewer, and a Hearty Elixir.[12]

Hino will comment about the moon before then running off.[13][14]

Hino also gets caught in an enemy camp at the Marblod Plain. When Link saves him, he thanks him for getting rid of the monsters, but tells Link once the blood moon rises, they will be back. He questions what exactly monsters are.[15] He'll reward Link with some Salt-Grilled Mushrooms. He'll then give Link a second dish, which is a Hasty Fish and Mushroom Skewer.[16] He'll also give Link a Hearty Elixir.[17] He'll then comment about the moon before running off.[18]

Hino is also held captive within the Boné Pond East Cave. If Link frees him, he will give Link some Salt-Grilled Meat, Sneaky Meat and Seafood Fry, and a Fairy Tonic.[19]

On days of the actual blood moon, Hino will be excited that it's coming.[20] He tells Link that the blood moon is calling, and that he thinks it's calling him.[21]

  1. Hmm... Oh, sorry... I didn't notice you... I was a bit lost in thought there. I've been doing rigorous research day and night to figure out the mystery of that blood moon. - Hino
  2. You don't know it? That's inexcusable. Listen up and I'll tell you about it. For 100 years now, every so often when the clock strikes midnight, the sky turns red and a full moon rises... At that moment, monsters that had been previously defeated will come back to life. And that's what is known as the blood moon! Why do the monsters return to life? Why does it only happen when the sky turns red? No one really has the answers to those questions. It's a mysterious phenomenon... If you learn anything about the blood moon as you travel, be sure to come back and tell me. - Hino
  3. Whenever the clock strikes midnight on unlucky nights, the sky turns blood red. That's the blood moon. When that happens, monsters come back to life, no matter how many times you've defeated them. It's happened for so long now that no one really pays it any mind, but I have no plans to give up on my research. - Hino
  4. Tonight's moon will be a little smaller than yesterday's full moon. It's nice in its own way, really... - Hino
  5. Can't see anything in this rain! - Hino
  6. It's...so...RED! So gloriously RED! - Hino
  7. Arise, monsters! - Hino
  8. My blood...it's boiling! - Hino
  9. "Thank you! I'm saved! I despaired thinking no one would find me here! You might be wondering how I got here. A fine question! To explain, I must tell you about...the blood moon! Some nights, no matter the moon's phase, it rises full and red. Precisely at midnight, the whole sky turns crimson. And then...defeated monsters appear again! There you have it. The blood moon! It is my life's work to research this event. Why do the monsters revive? What connects them to the blood moon? I thought if I studied the monsters' ecology, I would discover something... But I got too close, and here I am. Please, take this for saving me." — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  10. "On second thought, you deserve more than that. Here!" — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  11. "No... That's not enough to properly convey my gratitude! Here!" — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  12. "Thank you, thank you! I had no idea how I would escape this—What would you call it? A monster fort? I thought I was destined for a monstrous cook pot. I had almost given up hope! Huh... What do monsters eat, anyway? Could be worth investigating... In any case, I can't thank you enough! Please, take this for saving me." — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  13. "Tonight is a crescent moon... Mmm. A golden arc through the sky... She's beautiful, isn't she? Well, I'm sure we'll meet again. Now quick, let's split up before a mosnter spots us!" — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  14. "Tonight is the 13-th day moon... Mmm. She grows larger every day on her path to fullness." — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  15. "I knew you would come! You dispatch the monsters with such impressive skill. It's just...once the blood moon rises, they'll all come back. Monsters... What in the world are they? Please, take this for saving me." — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  16. "You want another? All right..." — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  17. "No! I can't insult you with that pathetically small show of thanks! Take this too!" — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  18. "Tonight is a crescent moon... Mmm. A golden arc through the sky... She's beautiful, isn't she? Well, you'll have to excuse me! It seems dangerous to stick around, don't you think?" — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  19. "Here... For setting me free... Take it!" — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
  20. "It...it's coming! The blood moon!" — Hino, Tears of the Kingdom
