Biography
Pirou is an old man who can be found at the Gerudo Canyon Stable. Link can speak to Pirou to begin the "Rushroom Rush!" Side Quest. When Link first speaks to him, Pirou asks Link if he has any Rushrooms. He goes on to explain that he's tired of going at normal speed and that he used to eat Rushrooms every day when he was five years old. Pirou used to win every race thanks to Rushrooms, but now he feels out of energy 55 years later. No matter how many Rushrooms Pirou eats, he is too old to climb the cliffs where Rushrooms grow. Pirou says that he is in the market for Rushrooms, offering Link a Diamond for 55 Rushrooms. Pirou explains that Rushrooms grow all over the place and tend to grow on cliffs, which are common around the Stable. He says that he would be picking them himself if he was five years younger. Pirou tells Link to talk to him if he wants to do business.

If Link returns to Pirou, he says that he thought Link would come back and asks him if he brought "the stuff," referring to Rushrooms. If Link does not have 55 Rushrooms in his inventory, Pirou will not accept them, stating that he has no use for a random number of Rushrooms. Once Link brings Pirou 55 Rushrooms, he tells Link that he left the Diamond for him behind the Stable. Pirou also questions why Link went through all the trouble for a Diamond. Link can come back to Pirou any time to exchange 55 Rushrooms for double the market value. After the Quest is complete, Link will find a Treasure Chest behind the stable containing the Diamond that Pirou promised to give him.
