Thadd is a character in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
Thadd is a guard who can be found at the western gate of Hateno Village. He wields a Farmer's Pitchfork and patrols back and forth all day and night, despite being tired.[1] When he first sees Link, he will appear confrontational, as he does not know who Link is.[2] After realizing that Link is a Hylian, he apologizes for his rude attitude and tells Link he is free to pass.[3]
Thadd serves as a guide for Link, pointing him to many of the attractions of Hateno Village, including the Kochi Dye Shop and the The Great Ton Pu Inn. However, Thadd will advise Link not to go near the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab that is further up the hill, as there is a yappy old woman there.[4]
Even though Thadd tells Link about many of the attractions in town, if Link asks for a tour guide, Thadd yells at him, saying he can't give him a tour as he is on guard duty. However, he advises Link to find Seldon, who will be more than happy to give Link a tour.[5]
Tears of the Kingdom
Thadd can be found at Lookout Landing where he is patrolling on the higher ledge at the east side of the Lookout. When Link first arrives, he encourages Link to quickly go and speak with Purah.[6][7]
Thadd stares to the east and longs to return to Hateno Village and see his family, Tamana and Teebo, again. He is a bit distraught as whle he is watching guard, he looks out in the distance and sees the Ring Ruins, found in Kakariko Village. However, when he looks in that direction, he can only think what's even beyond the Ring Ruins, which is his hometown of Hateno Village. This puts him a viscious cycle of trying to do his job, while also being saddened that he is so far from his family.[8][9] Hateno Village is indebted to Princess Zelda, which is why Thadd made the decision to travel to Lookout Landing to help out when the oppurtunity arose.[10]

- ↑ Who... Who are you? I demand answers! If you're up this late, you're probably up to no good! - Thadd
- ↑ Wait, wait, wait! Hrm? You certainly do appear to be a Hylian like the rest of us... Hylians are generally good folk, so... Sorry for getting all worked up... You're free to go. We're just a waypoint on your winding road, huh? Ah, the life of a traveler. Well, you can get most things you need at the general store, and in the inn is just back there. - Thadd
- ↑ This is the town of greenery and dyes, Hateno Village. Can a place be a village AND a town? Anyway... The vegetables taste good. The air smells good... What else... All kinds of points of interest I'm forgetting... Travelers tend to spend their money here, so that's good! Yeah! The village folk welcome THAT with open arms! But... A little advice? Don't go near the place up the hill in the rear of the village. There's a yappy old woman there. - Thadd
- ↑ Not likely! I'm on guard duty, Buster! Serious business! No time for tours! Grumble... Sorry for the yelling...and the grumbling. This village is pretty peaceful, so it's not like guard duty is all that harrowing. But you're GRAVELY mistaken if you think people with free time are itching to give village tours. Try looking for a burly old guy called Seldon. He'll probably fall all over himself to show you around. - Thadd

- ↑ "You're a curious one, being up here when everyone's down below. The name's Thadd. I'm from a place that's almost as far to the southeast as you can get from here. It's called Hateno Village. I've been worried about my family back home. So if you catch me sneaking a peek thataway, well, that's why. Have you seen the ring-shaped ruins on the horizon? They're off to the southeast. But when I'm looking out that way, I'm thinking of what's beyond the ruins-my dear Hateno Village. So, I'm keeping watch for monsters, of course, but I also keeping seeing those strange ruins... Which then leads me to worry more about my family, who I left behind so I could help out here... Tamana... Teebo... Please be all right..." — Thadd, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Gah! I was NOT just gazing off toward my hometown. Of course not. I'm on the lookout for monsters. ... Problem is, when I keep watch from here, I see the ring-shaped ruins in the distance. Just so happens that Hateno Village is out that way, beyond the horizon. Tamana... Teebo... Tell me you're all right..." — Thadd, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "My village is indebted to Princess Zelda. I wanted to offer some kind of assistance in return, so I came here. But I'm worried sick about my wife and son back in Hateno Village... That's far beyond those ring-shaped ruins in the disatnce, so I keep looking out that way. But I'm keeping proper watch, don't you worry!" — Thadd, Tears of the Kingdom
