Baddek

is a recurring character in.

Baddek is a BotW: who rides a BotW:, carrying a BotW: and BotW:. He travels along the BotW: from Serenne Stable all the way to Tabantha Bridge Stable and back. Once he reaches a Stable, he will rest nearby with his Horse for a moment before leaving again.

When spoken to, Baddek will reveal that he has a great appreciation for Horses, claiming he sees the world through "horse-tinted glasses". He also tells BotW: that he only talks about Horses. While he has difficulties speaking with others, he finds that Horses love him. Due to how much he talks about Horses, his wife left him for one. He does not mind, though, as it gives him more time to talk about Horses.

To Baddek, taming wild Horses is like adopting a new family member that you can sit on. He says that registered Horse companions will always be by your side, until they die. Baddek's Horse is the one thing he cannot travel without. As long as he has his Horse, Baddek says he does not need anything else, and he believes the Horse is more important than he is. In addition, he states that his Horse's saddle fits both him and the Horse perfectly. The Horse's bridle is also easy to grasp and elastic.

Occasionally, Baddek will give Link tips for handling Horses, saying to pet them when they follow directions and work hard, as praising them reinforces good behavior. In addition, he tells Link that he cannot expect a horse to ride hard for him without a meaningful connection, and that he should spend time with his Horse to form a bond. He also recites Horse facts, stating that Horses can swim if they need to. After this, he will ask Link to name another animal that swims, but says it is a trick question as there are none. He also informs Link that NaN Stables fit registered Horses with saddles and bridles.

One type of Horse Baddek likes the most is the BotW:, claiming he has heard of a special Horse in the Sanidin Park Ruins fit for a king. While girls dream about princes on White Horses, Baddek only cares about the White Horse. Though Horses come in many colors, White Horses take his breath away.

Baddek has also ridden a BotW: in the Hebra Mountains. Since he could never be afraid of a Horse, Baddek claims he was not scared of it. He describes the Stalhorse as running well and being surprisingly comfortable.

Baddek tells BotW: that there are four different NaN Stables that have different BotW: and BotW: styles, these being Woodland Stable, Highland Stable, Outskirt Stable, and South Akkala Stable. This, however, is false, and these are simply the Stables where Link can have a worker change the gear of his Horses.

When it is BotW:, Baddek will seek shelter for himself and his horse, comparing the BotW: "like stallions and mares". During this time, he'll give Link a quiz on Horses. He lists four different types of Horses—the White Horse, the Giant Horse, the mechanical horse, and the bone Horse—and asks Link which one does not exist. He says that the answer will be revealed someday, somewhere, and that Link may already know it. Occasionally, Baddek will make dismissive comments about the existence of mechanical horses.

Despite his addiction to Horses, he also wonders about Paragliders and NaN Carrots.
