Toffa is a character from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
Toffa is an old man who can be seen standing right outside the Outskirt Stable, day and night. He never goes to bed and never even moves from his spot, even if it rains or if there is a thunderstorm.
The Royal White Stallion
- Main article: The Royal White Stallion
When Link first speaks with Toffa, he asks him if he's seen a White Horse. He talks about a story that his grandfather told him, that the Royal Family had a white horse that would graze out by the Safula Hill. One of the customers who recently visited the stable said that they spotted a white horse on that same hill. Toffa thinks that it could be a relative to the royal family's white horse from back in his grandfather's day. He tasks Link with finding the white horse and bringing it back to him.[1] This will begin The Royal White Stallion side quest.
Toffa tells Link that the white horse supposedly has a beautiful, pure-white coat, distinguishing it from other horses.[2] Additionally, rumors are that the horse roams by itself, separate from other wild horses.[3]
After Link finds the White Horse on Safula, jumps on the saddle, and returns it back to stable, Toffa is shocked. He tells Link to register the horse at the stable and to bring it back over to him.[4] Toffa is forever grateful to Link, seeing this horse has made his life. With all the challenges happening around the land, simply living has been a struggle, but this moment has made it worth it to him. As a thanks for your help, he will present Link with the Royal Saddle and the Royal Bridle, two custom fitted items for the white royal horse that were passed down by his grandfather.[5]
The saddle and bridle will automatically be placed on the White Horse. Toffa will take one last look and says that there is no doubt that the horse is the grandchild of the same horse from long ago.[6]
Toffa will daydream a bit, stating that if he was a bit younger, he would go off on an adventure, riding the white horse alongside a girl like Princess Zelda.[7]
Tears of the Kingdom
Toffa can be found at the Outskirt Stable where he is tending to the Horses. The stable has recently taken in more horses, after the Gerudo Canyon Stable had to close down. After the Upheaval, the weather changed and the horses could not tolerate the extreme temperatures, so Toffa took them in.[8]
The Horse Guard's Request
- Main article: The Horse Guard's Request
Speaking with Toffa at the Outskirt Stable will have him talk about a Skeletal Horse. He mentions that there is a rumor that such horses can be seen at nighttime at the Sanidin Park Ruins to the north.[9] Toffa wonders if these are spirits of dead horses that can't move on, or perhaps curses horses born from the Upheaval. While he thinks it's just a rumor, if it were true, he'd sure like to meet one. This will begin The Horse Guard's Request side quest.

Custom fitted for the white royal horse! - Toffa

So pure... - Toffa

But when the weather changed after the Upheaval, it took that stable by surprise. The horses couldn't handle the extreme temperatures, so I took them in." — Toffa, Tears of the Kingdom

Are they spirits of dead horses that can't move on? Or cursed horses born in the Upheaval? Or... Ah, I'm sorry. I lose my head as soon as conversation turns to horses. Well, I expect it's just a rumor. But if it WERE true, I'd sure like to meet one." — Toffa, Tears of the Kingdom
