Steen works as a farmer in [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]], where he grows [[Swift Carrot]]s that are then sold by his wife [[Trissa]] at their shop, the [[High Spirits Produce]]. | Steen works as a farmer in [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]], where he grows [[Swift Carrot]]s that are then sold by his wife [[Trissa]] at their shop, the [[High Spirits Produce]]. After waking up each morning at 6am, Steen can be found maintaining his carrot garden located near his house, just up the hill from [[Mellie's Plum Garden]]. He will be there rain or shine and admires his work.{{Ref|''Aren't those swift carrots somethin' else?'' - '''Steen'''}} He comments that it looks like the soil has been tilled through the night.{{Ref|''Oh. It's you... Nasty weather today. Welp, no matter what the weather has in store, these carrots have been growing as beautifully as ever. The soil is so nice every morning... it's almost like someone's been tilling the soil through the night.'' - '''Steen'''}} In reality this was his rival [[Olkin]], who was try to trample all over his carrots, but instead, actually helped the soil. Olkin's rivalry with Steen stems from their different philosophies, as Olkin has a more defensive mindset. Olkin is also upset that Steen won't allow him to sell his [[Fortified Pumpkin]]s over at the High Spirits Produce.{{Ref|''It seems...you caught me. I could never get along with Steen... no matter how I tried. Even when we'd go hunting together, I'd slowly crouch down to get close to our prey, but he'd just charge in yelling. "Offense is killing!" That's what he'd bellow. Annoyed the tar outta me. Needless to say, our prey always ran... On top of that, he just refuses to sell my pumpkins in his shop! But... My, what have I done? I'm just so mortified... But being caught in the act makes me realize what I've become... As of today...I'll stop taking my anger out on the crops.'' - '''Olkin'''}} | ||
Steen arrives at the High Spirits Produce store each day around 4pm, and will stay until 8pm. He is overly concerned about his wife, worried that she is tired, hungry, cold, and that she spends her whole day speaking with customers.{{Ref|''Hey, Trissa... Aren't you tired? Don't you hate talking to weird customers? Aren't you chilly? Have you eaten yet?'' - '''Steen'''}} His wife is fine and tells Steen off, referring to him as a worrywart and an old coot.{{Ref|''Hee hee! Stop being such a worrywart, you old coot!'' - '''[[Trissa]]'''}} | If Link criticizes Steen's carrots, he will get very upset, yelling and Link and telling him to be more polite.{{Ref|''"Not really." That's your response? The NERVE of this guy! Would it kill you to be polite?!'' - '''Steen'''}} On the flip side if Link praises the carrots, Steen encourages Link to visit the High Spirits Produce.{{Ref|''Aren't they, though? Yep, I few these beauties here myself. We stock 'em at our materials shop. If you're hankerin' to pick up some nice swift carrots for yourself, I'd recommend headin' that way.'' - '''Steen'''}} | ||
Steen works most of the morning and early afternoon and at 3pm each day, he will check on how his wife has been doing.{{Ref|''Sorry, I'm in a hurry. My old lady is waitin' for me.'' - '''Steen'''}}{{Ref|''This is my sweetie's material shop. I make it a point to stop by and see her a couple times a day.'' - '''Steen'''}} He arrives at the High Spirits Produce store each day around 4pm, and will stay until 8pm. He is overly concerned about his wife, worried that she is tired, hungry, cold, and that she spends her whole day speaking with customers.{{Ref|''Hey, Trissa... Aren't you tired?

Steen is an advocate for a strong offense and can be seen practicing his sword techniques at nighttime, just outside of the High Spirits Produce. Although he practices using a rather weak [[Tree Branch]]. When he first meets Link, sees something familiar in him, but then laughs at him, as Link claims to be the same Link from the time during the [[Great Calamity]].{{Ref|''Hm? Do you need something? ... I haven't seen you around here before... But that's something so familiar about that face of yours... Ohhhh, yes. I remember now. It was long ago, when the Calamity hit... but you look just like the swordsman who was trying to stop it.'' - '''Steen'''}} Steen claims that the reason why Link was so strong is that he consumed a diet of nothing but Swift Carrots. He will gift Link a Swift Carrot so that he can be like the hero Steen remembers.{{Ref|''Say what now? You're really the same swordsman from way back when?! Aha ha! Young people these days sure do like their jokes. If you were really that noble swordsman, you've have the legendary blade - the sword that seals the darkness. You see, the thing about that swordsman is... He trained with swift carrots instead of a blade! He strengthened his body with a diet made entirely of swift carrots! And he tempered his soul with the sweet aroma of swift carrots too! That's what my grandfather always used to say, anyway... So I suggest you stop joking around all the time and instead...have a carrot and try to be more like the swordsman!'' - '''Steen'''}} | Steen is an advocate for a strong offense and can be seen practicing his sword techniques at nighttime, just outside of the High Spirits Produce.

First he will teach Link how to Focus on a particular enemy, using the target system.{{Ref|''When facing an enemy in combat... always focus in on them. That's the most basic of the basics as far as good offense goes.'' - '''Steen'''}} He will also teach link the [[Jump Attack]] maneuver, although warns Link that he can do damage to himself if he does it from too high up.{{Ref|''You can cause a shock wave on the ground just by swinging your swords while you're jumping. The higher up you are, the more damage you'll do. However... If you're TOO high up, you'll be the one who takes damage. Once you get the hang of this, it's quite useful for surprise attacks on groups of enemies down below you.'' - '''Steen'''}} Lastly, Steen will teach link how to sneak up on enemies to deliver a [[Sneakstrike]]. Link can crouch down and slowly walk up to his enemies to remain undetected and then deliver a sneakstrike, which will deal more damage.{{Ref|''If you move while crouched down instead of walking normally, you'll be a lot hard to detect. That's not just for monsters either. That's what I do when I'm trying to sneak up on wild animals too.'' - '''Steen'''}}{{Ref|''What's with that judgmental look?! Sneakstrikes are a legitimate strategy! You just sneak up behind your foe... and before they realize you're there... HYAH! They're met with the taste of steel! Or wood, depending on your weapon of choice. Got it? They'll be no match if you sneak up on 'em! Since they aren't expecting the attack, you'll deal more damage too!'' - '''Steen'''}} | First he will teach Link how to Focus on a particular enemy, using the target system.{{Ref|''When facing an enemy in combat... always focus in on them.

Like his rival | Like his rival Olkin, Steen wishes to enter the [[Ta'loh Naeg Shrine]], to find the secret art of offense.{{Ref|''To tell ya the truth, I'd like to take that trial thing at the village shrine and learn the secret art of offense. It's just... Well, no one knows the technique you need to enter the shrine. That's why I train like this every day.'' - '''Steen'''}} Although in reality, the shrine teaches defense, as Link learns the [[Perfect Guard]] and [[Perfect Dodge]]. | ||
At 3am each morning, Steen will end his sword lesson and will run back home. He comments that when he was much younger, he would train morning, noon, and night, but his old age has caught up with him and now he needs some sleep.{{Ref|''When I was younger, I worked out morning, noon, and night. But lately, my old age has caught up with me... If you'd like more sword lessons, come back again tomorrow night.'' - '''Steen'''}} | At 3am each morning, Steen will end his sword lesson and will run back home.
