BotW: is considered to be the pride of the NaN Zoras, and his fame has resulted in his own dedicated fan club.

As a child, BotW:'s headfin was long when compared to other BotW: children. Whenever BotW: would visit BotW:, BotW: would become jealous of how much time he spent with BotW:, believing that he was taking her away. During the "BotW:" BotW:, which is exclusive to Downloadable Content Pack, a young BotW: can be seen practicing BotW: up NaN Waterfalls at BotW:. Though BotW: encourages him to join her and BotW: at the top, BotW: is concerned he may still be too young to do so.

Just when it seemed like BotW: may be killed by the BotW:, he freed himself by cutting it open with a BotW:. While the BotW: was able to escape, the fishers of BotW: still pass down tales of BotW:'s achievements.

When BotW: reactivated and began spouting BotW:, the NaN Zoras realized that the BotW: was at risk of bursting, which endangered the lives of both those in BotW: and the residents of the BotW: settlements downstream. With the help of BotW:, the NaN Zoras were able to determine that shooting the orbs on the BotW:'s back with NaN Shock Arrows would stop it from generating BotW:, but due to their weakness to BotW:, they were unable to do so themselves. Despite the elders' refusal to ally with a BotW:, BotW: left BotW: in search of one who could help them face BotW:. During his travels, he met BotW:, but he accidentally creeped her out and caused her to run away. He also visited BotW:, though he was unable to find a suitable BotW: there, either. Eventually, he was able to recruit a BotW: named BotW:, but he came to the conclusion that he was too heavy to be carried to the BotW:.

As BotW: travels throughout the BotW:, he can find several NaN Zoras all of whom direct him to meet with BotW: at BotW:. When he approaches the BotW:, BotW: will call out to him from one of its pillars. Once BotW: notices him, he jumps down to ground level. Since BotW: is a BotW:, BotW: asks if he is able to talk with him.

Upon confirming that BotW: is a BotW:, BotW: introduces himself, asking for BotW:'s name in return. Though he finds his name to be familiar, BotW: still states that it is strong. He admits that he has been watching BotW:, and judging by his strength, he reasons that he must be a warrior. If BotW: confirms this assumption, BotW: will brag about his eye for talent.

When BotW: agrees to help, BotW: will be grateful. He urges BotW: to hurry to BotW:, advising that since the BotW: has made the cliffs too slippery to BotW:, he will have to follow the path directly. However, he warns BotW: that this road is filled with BotW: NaN Monsters. Despite this, he assures BotW: that he believes in him. To assist BotW:, he gives him an BotW:, explaining that is has no effect on NaN Zoras. Meanwhile, he informs BotW: that he will be BotW: up the BotW: to reach the BotW: ahead of him. Afterwards, the "BotW:" BotW: will begin.

While traveling to BotW:, BotW: can encounter BotW: a total of three times. North of the BotW:, BotW: will call out to BotW: from BotW:, though he apologizes for doing so.

He again warns BotW: of the NaN Monsters in the area, and he reminds him that the NaN Zoras are awaiting his arrival. When BotW: crosses BotW:, BotW: will call out to him a second time, informing him that he is halfway through the journey to BotW:. He claims that several NaN Monster Strongholds can be found on the road ahead, but he assures BotW: that he believes in him. Lastly, BotW: will shout at BotW: from BotW: as he passes over BotW:. He claims that he has been waiting for BotW:, since he knew he would have to reach the bridge eventually. As they are almost at BotW:, he tells BotW: that he will meet him there. However, he suddenly notices a BotW: approaching BotW: from behind, which he alerts him of.

In the BotW:, BotW: will recognize BotW: as the BotW: BotW:. Upon hearing his father's assertion, BotW: realizes that this is the reason he found BotW:'s name to be familiar, and he claims that their meeting was a "fateful coincidence". Though BotW: attempts to restore BotW:'s memory by having him look at BotW:, BotW: interjects, believing that speaking about BotW: is not helping BotW:. While BotW: agrees, he finds it to be funny that BotW: was able to bring a BotW: to BotW: without knowing.

When BotW: objects to BotW:'s assistance, BotW: admonishes him for speaking so rudely to BotW: and his guest, reminding him that it is impossible to save BotW: without him.

He explains that the fact that the BotW: perfectly fits BotW: if proof that he was the one BotW: intended to give it to. Since BotW: has always disliked NaN Hylians, BotW: believes that this is the reason she never told him how she felt about BotW:. BotW: hopes that BotW: will now fulfill his duty by telling them where they can find NaN Shock Arrows. Upon hearing that BotW:'s plan was to take NaN Shock Arrows from a BotW: on BotW:, BotW: realizes that he must be talking about the BotW: that lives there.
