Hoz
Hoz is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[3][4]
Biography
Breath of the Wild
Hoz is a soldier who works to fend off monsters from East Akkala Stable in the Akkala Highlands.[5] He carries a Soldier's Spear and wears a Soldier's Helm. He patrols the Stable throughout the day and night.[6] If it begins to rain, he will flee inside.[7][8]
If Link agrees that it has become dangerous in the area, Hoz shares a rumor he has heard of a suspicious individual known as Kilton.[9] The rumors say that he runs a shop called Fang and Bone, which he operates during the night.[10] Kilton's behavior has reportedly been making people uncomfortable.[11]
Hoz asks Link if he knows Kilton.[12] If Link replies that he does not, Hoz will be disappointed.[13] Alternatively, if Link says that he does, Hoz is shocked that he is aware of him.[14] Despite Link's answer, Hoz asks him for a detailed description of any suspicious people that he encounters, especially if he meets Kilton.[15] This begins the Side Quest "A Shady Customer".
Once Link has taken a Picture of Kilton, he can return to the East Akkala Stable to show it to Hoz.[16] Though he thinks the Picture is strange,[17] Hoz believes it will help him track Kilton down.[18] As a reward, he gives Link a Silver Rupee. He bids Link farewell so that he can return to his mission.[19]
After completing the Side Quest, Link can continue to speak to Kilton. Now that he has seen Kilton, he wonders what he sells at the Fang and Bone.[20] He believes it could be fangs, bones, or "evil things", but thinking about it creeps him out.[21]
