Biography
Ashe is an old man who works at the Woodland Stable. During the day, he watches over the Stable's White Goats in their pen. He assists new travelers by telling them about the surrounding areas and giving directions to them, including the Eldin Region, Hyrule Field and the Great Hyrule Forest. He is incredibly knowledgeable about these areas, including famous landmarks such as Death Mountain and Hyrule Castle, but warns Link to stay away from the Castle and the surrounding Hyrule Field.

When asked about the Great Hyrule Forest, Ashe recounts a time where he had left to gather firewood at the Lost Woods as a young boy. He remembers venturing deep into the Woods when the wind suddenly started blowing in several directions. He had ran away then, only to find himself outside the Woods as the fog lifted. He believes that there is something dangerous in the Lost Woods and warns Link to stay away. His story is actually a clue to navigating the Lost Woods, by following the wind's direction.
