Kairo is a character from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
Kairo is a Goron who can be found patrolling back and forth along the path from the Foothill Stable, through the Maw of Death Mountain. He will stop at a broken down wagon, staring out towards the Guardian Stalker in the distance, before then turning around and heading back to the stable. He walks the same exact route as the Hylian, Dayto. He is a traveling merchant who deals in expensive ore, including rare Topaz, Ruby, and Sapphire.[1][2][3] He is good pals with Yunobo, the Goron that helps Link enter the Divine Beast Vah Rudania.[4]
Kairo used to work at the Goron Hot Springs in Goron City, but he got sick of it. He wanted to travel the world, visiting places that are much different than the setting of Goron City. He wants to go somewhere cold, as well as somewhere where there are green trees and hills.[5][6]
Kairo will occasionally give Link some advice on the region. He mentions that for a Hylian like Link, a Fireproof Elixir will help him withstand the heat. However, while he knows a Fireproof Lizard is required, he doesn't know what it needs to be mixed with to make an elixir.[7][8] Kairo will also mention that while Goron City and Death Mountain can be dangerous, they are excellent places to find some high quality chunks of ore.[9][10] He warns Link to beware of the Magma Bombs, as they can be dangerous even to Gorons, so Link should be careful.[11][12][13]
If at anytime Kairo encounters an enemy, he will run away in fear.[14] If Link defeats the enemy and then speaks with Kairo, he will thank him for fight off the enemy, rewarding him with a meal, some ore, or some rupees.[15] Kairo is always courteous to Link, even if he doesn't buy or sell any goods from him.[16]

Tears of the Kingdom
After Link has cleared one of the Regional Phenomena, Kairo can be found in the center of Lookout Landing, being chastised by Zorona for not remembering how to reach Goron City.[17] Ever since Death Mountain stopped erupting, different paths leading to Goron City have opened up, which has caused Kairo confusion as to how to best reach the city.[18][19] After getting directions from Scorpis, the two will head out, agreeing to stop at the Bedrock Bistro that Kairo is fond of.[20][21]
After traversing the land, he and Zorona have set up camp in front of Gerudo Town, where they are being denied entry, as a pair of voe. Kairo hits back by saying his friend got in, so he should be allowed to too, a fact vehemently defined by the guards. Kairo's friend is either Lyndae or Strade, both of whom got into Gerudo Town in Breath of the Wild. As Lyndae is still walking the path through the Gerudo Region, he and Kairo would have crossed paths, suggesting it's him who told Kairo that Gorons could visit the town.

- ↑ "You don't have to tell me there was lava everywhere. It used to be so hot that Hylians couldn't step foot on the mountain without fire-resistant gear. Even if I wanted to take a trip that way, I couldn't." — Zorona, Tears of the Kingdom
