Rensa is a character in.

Biograhy
Rensa is found at the front of Dueling Peaks Stable. He welcomes Link and asks what he thinks of the place. Rensa tells the hero that although it may be hard to believe, the place was nearly destroyed about one hundred years ago. However, thanks to the blessings of the Dueling Peaks, everything is full of life again. Even the wild horses have returned. Rensa asks Link where he is heading and says that both Kakariko Village and Hateno Village are nearby. If asked about the wild horses, Rensa asks if Link did not see any Horses on his way here. There are still quite a few around, though certainly not as many as in years past. Horses in the wild are wild, as no one has trained or cared for them. Rensa advises Link to let his brother Tasseren know if he manages to catch a Horse so he can register it for him. Rensa's boys are wellsprings of information about Horses, so he tells Link to feel free to pick their brains. When asked about Kakariko Village, Rensa says it is the Village where the Sheikah clan lives. It is said that some time ago they had advanced techiques that were more powerful than anything anyone had seen, but that power put them at odds with the king at the time and they were scattered across the land. If Link leaves and follows the path straight to the north, he will find a big bridge. Crossing the bridge and following the path will lead to the Kakariko Village gate. When asked about Hateno Village, Rensa says it is a Village on the edge of Hyrule. It was largely unaffected by the events of the Great Calamity so the people are easygoing. Rensa has heard that they even have a research center, but folks tend to avoid the weird scientist who lives there. Rensa tells Link to head north until he reaches a fork in the road, then to go east and follow the road. It is a far distance if walked, but with a Horse Link should get there in under a day. After Link says goodbye, Rensa says everything looks just as it always has but the effects of the Great Calamity still linger, warning the hero to be careful at night when monsters appear.

Afterwards if spoken to, Rensa says that they are wild, so until Link calms them down it will be one crazy ride but there is no feeling quite like taming a wild stallion. Rensa says he took second place in the Hyrule Horse-Taming Competition. When he sees the look Link gives him, Rensa challenges the hero to a tame-off. If Link declines, Rensa asks if he would dare turn down a challenge from the second greatest Horse tamer in the world. Rensa realizes there is not much he can do about that and states it is only natural that the title of Hyrule Horse-Taming Competition Runner-Up would strike fear in his heart. He himself would never run and ride and tells Link to come back when he has the confidence to challenge his taming skills. However, if Link accepts the challenge, Rensa says that is the spirit. The only rule is Link has to bring a wild Horse back to the spot he is standing under two minutes, Rensa's record. He tells Link to prepare for extreme taming and the Side Quest "Wild Horses" begins.

Once Link has caught a Horse and brought it back before time runs out, Rensa is amazed that Link beat his record so easily. Rensa admits that the only participants who competed in the Hyrule Horse-Taming Competition were his brother and himself. He gives Link the purse for winning the second Hyrule Horse-Taming Competition, which is fifty Rupees. Rensa guesses there is more competition out there then he knew about and maybe Hyrule is not all bad after all.
