Monkton is an old man found at the [[Snowfield Stable]]. He spends the entire day walking back and forth inside the stable | Monkton is an old man found at the [[Snowfield Stable]]. He spends almost the entire day walking back and forth inside the stable. After midnight each evening he will head over to the nearby stool where he will sit down until 7am in the morning. When Link chats with him, he likes to talk about stories from his childhood.{{Ref|''A traveler, eh? Can you spare a minute to listen to a bored, old retiree tell a story?'' - '''Monkton'''}} He talks about growing up in the middle of nowhere with his best friends Harry and Mary.{{Ref|''When you get to be my age, you start reminiscing about all the memories from your childhood. Heh, to be honest, growing up out in the middle of nowhere... Well, there weren't really other kids around. My only friends were Harry and Mary. I remember playing with Harry out in the maze and Mary out by the ruins...'' - '''Monkton'''}} | ||
Monkton talks about the [[North Lomei Labyrinth]] in the distance, beyond the [[Tabantha Tundra]]. Even though the adults at the time discouraged Monkton from venturing there, Monkton ignored them and went there anyway. Monkton encouraged Harry to travel into the maze as a test of courage. Unfortunately, this was the last time that Monkton ever saw Harry, as he never returned.{{Ref|''There's an enormous maze beyond the Tabantha Tundra just north of here. I don't know who built it or when. The adults always said not to go near it. They said it was too dangerous there. One day, I urged Harry to go into the maze as a test of courage. I...I never saw him again. I learned the hard way that it really is dangerous there. Children have no real sense of danger, I suppose... To this day, the mere memory breaks my heart.'' - '''Monkton'''}} | Monkton talks about the [[North Lomei Labyrinth]] in the distance, beyond the [[Tabantha Tundra]].

When Monkton is initially telling the stories to Link, they are told as if Harry and Mary were childhood friend of roughly the same ages. However, Monkton eventually reveals that the two were actually grown horses. Monkton didn't have many friends as a child, so instead, the horses were his best friends. Harry and Mary both have descendants that are still alive and they reside in the horse stables at Snowfield Stable.{{Ref|''As I grew older, I learned to overcome my grief over losing them. You can't change the past, only the future. Harry and Mary never made it back, but two of their descendants are there in that stall over there. My only friends out in these parts were horses, you see. I suppose that's still true to this day.'' - '''Monkton'''}} | When Monkton is initially telling the stories to Link, they are told as if Harry and Mary were childhood friend of roughly the same ages.
