Template:Sources Template:Character In Twilight Princess, Fado is a goat herder and resident of Ordon Village.

Biography

Fado is responsible for running the Ordon Ranch, and appears to be Link's employer. He teaches Link to ride Epona by setting up fences for practice. After Link restores light to the Eldin Province and gets Epona back, Fado will give him a Heart Piece should he herd 20 goats into the barn in less than 3 minutes. Fado is last seen during the ending credits, calling to Link's empty house.

Personality

Fado is a simple, friendly man. He doesn't seem to be very good at herding the goats and Mayor Bo is always worried about the goats escaping when Fado is looking after them by himself[1]. Though he appears to be Link's employer, Fado is always kind to him, treating him as an equal. He will even go to lengths as to not trouble Link[2], but will eventually need his help chasing after a loose goat or herding them into the barn at the end of the day.

Trivia

  • His name is recycled from two other characters: Fado from Template:OOT and Fado from The Wind Waker (however, Fado from The Wind Waker is called Template:Japanese in Japanese).
  • For some reason, Link is never able to enter Fado's house at any time in the game, as it is always locked. In the game's files, there is only a doorway and no house at all, probably because there was no design for Fado's house.
