Rem

Rem is a resident of Hyrule Town in The Minish Cap who is always falling asleep while working. As he sleeps, his shoes are finished by Picori. He gives Link the Pegasus Boots after waking him up using the Wake-up Mushroom.

Quote from The Minish Cap Rem figurine: "The Proprietor of Rem's Shoe Store. Using his "secret technique," he makes shoes in his sleep. Princess Zelda is his single biggest source of income."
