Dorian is a character in Breath of the Wild.

Overview

Dorian lives in Kakariko Village alongside his two young daughters, Koko and Cottla. His deceased wife is buried just north of the village, although Dorian has not revealed to his daughters that their mother is gone. He lies to them, to avoid telling them the truth. However, his older daughter Koko has become aware of this, while his younger daughter Cottla still thinks his mother is around somewhere.[1][2]

Dorian and Cado are two of the guards that protect the entrance to Lady Impa's house within Kakariko Village. Dorian wears traditional Sheikah clothing and when Link first approaches, Dorian and Cado initially give resistance to allowing Link to pass. Upon seeing the Sheikah Slate, Cado realizes who Link is and the two guards apologize. [3][4] Dorian indicates that Impa has been waiting quite some time for Link to arrive.[5] Before Link meets Impa, Dorian and Cado will never leave their guard, always standing at the base of Impa's staircase.

After speaking with Impa, Dorian will then take on a more traditional schedule. He stands guard in front of Impa's house for most of the day and will tell Link about the various shops in the village, as well as the local Inn.[6] He also mentions the Great Fairy Fountain that is up the hill from the village. He's too intimidated to visit the fairy fountain himself, but encourages Link to do so.[7] Dorian will stand, regardless of the weather, stating that the Sheikah clothing that he wears is actually quite comfortable and is resilient to move rain and lightning.[8]

Dorian's guard duty will end at midnight, at which point he will walk home.[9] At nighttime he will take off his hat and sits right beside the bed of his two daughters. He remains awake for most of night, as he is having trouble sleeping.[10] This is likely due to his wife recently being killed by the Yiga Clan.[11]

References

  1. Mother is...sleeping here. She's probably making friends in heaven... Father thinks it's best not to tell us she's gone. But Koko knows. That's why Koko must be strong! - Koko
  2. Father is bad at lying. Cottla is just too young to realize it... Oh! Please don't tell Cottla you saw Koko her today! - Koko
  3. You there! Who are you?! How dare you trespass upon Lady Impa's abode! Hm? Is that...a Sheikah Slate? But that would mean you are... No, it's not possible. Can it be? - Cado
  4. Please forgive us for behaving so rudely. Of course we have heard the legends from Lady Impa herself. Please, friend... Go ahead and step inside. - Dorian
  5. Lady Impa has been waiting on you for a long time. There is much I would like to tell you as well... But first, please hurry and see what Lady Impa has to say. - Dorian
  6. What are you doing up so late? Monsters roam about at night. It's way too dangerous to wander around. There's an inn in this village. Why not go rest there until morning? - Dorian
  7. If you need anything, please find it here in our village. The clothing shop, materials shop, general shop, and inn should be able to provide everything you need. Oh, and just between you and me, there's also a shrine in the hills of this village. They say up and behind those hills resides Kakariko's guardian spirit. I hear she's incredibly beautiful. I'm too intimidated to go see for myself, though... It's said that she offers a special blessing to those that visit her... You should go there and see for yourself. - Dorian
  8. Ha, so that's how it looks! Makes sense. Please allow me to explain. The Sheikah tribe was once quite technologically advanced. This outfit I wear was specially made using Sheikah technology. It keeps the rain off and also wards off lightning. I may look soaking wet, but I assure you, I'm actually quite comfortable. - Dorian
  9. Ah, Master Link... It's gotten so late. - Dorian
  10. Master Link... I've had a lot on my mind lately, so it's been difficult to sleep well. Same for you, I imagine? Well, in any case, you should get some rest at the inn when you're tired. - Dorian
  11. My wife...the mother of my children... she was killed by the Yiga Clan. That is why Koko now acts as Cottla's mother. If only... If only I had been able to stop them... - Dorian
