Rahdo is a character from Tears of the Kingdom.
Tears of the Kingdom
Rahdo can be found on top of Mount Granajh where he can be seen next to a campe fire wearing no clothes at all. The extreme temperatures of the region don't seem to bother him. He describes himself as the many who withstands, and he who endures. He challenges Link to a contest and asks if he'd be willing to put 50 Rupees on the line.[1] Link can return at any point to challenge Rahdo as he is always waiting for the next challenge.[2][3]
Cold-Endurance Contest!
- Main article: Cold-Endurance Contest!
Link can accept Rahdo's challenge, which begins the Cold-Endurance Contest! quest. Link will need to stand on top of one of the nearby pillars from evening until dawn, enduring the cold weather. He is however, not allowed to wear any clothing, other than his underpants.[4] Rahdo gives Link an oppurtunity to get ready and then once he pays the 50 rupees, the contest can begin.[5][6][7][8]
Time will pass and Link will next appear on top of the pillar at sunset, wearing only his underpants. This will begin the endurance contest.[9]
