== Trivia ==
{{Term|TMC|Rem}} is a resident of {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town|link}}, and owns {{Term|TMC|Rem's Shoe Store|link}}. He has a habit of falling asleep while working on shoes, only to find them to be completed when he wakes up. This leads him to believe that he is skilled in crafting shoes while asleep.<ref>{{Cite|Lately, whenever I take a nap, all my shoes are done when I wake up! You know, if I can make shoes in my sleep, I must be in the right job!|Rem|TMC}}</ref> However, his shoes are really completed by the {{Term|TMC|Minish|link}} who live in {{Term|TMC|Rem's Shoe Store}}, and can be seen working while he sleeps.
* His name references the term for deep sleep, [[Wikipedia:Rapid eye movement sleep|R.E.M.]]
 
* The character is likely based on [[Wikipedia:The Elves and the Shoemaker|''The Elves and the Shoemaker'']].
When {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} is unable to cross the {{Term|TMC|Castor Wilds|link}}, he must seek {{Term|TMC|Rem}}'s help to create the {{Term|TMC|Pegasus Boots|link}};<ref>{{Cite|Say, have you been to {{Color|TMC Green|Rem's Shoe Shop}}? His shoes really are the best. I'm sure they could help you on your quest. Why don't you give him a visit?|Smith|TMC}}</ref> however, {{Term|TMC|Rem}} has fallen into a deep sleep and the {{Term|TMC|Minish}} have taken to crafting the {{Term|TMC|Pegasus Boots}} themselves. Despite this, {{Term|TMC|Rem}} is needed to add the finishing touches to the {{Term|TMC|Pegasus Boots|display=Boots}},<ref>{{Cite|Ho, ho! You need {{Color|TMC Red|Pegasus Boots}}? Why, you're just in time! We made a pair just now while {{Color|TMC Green|Rem}} was sleeping. But only {{Color|TMC Green|Rem}} can put the finishing touches on them...|Town Minish|TMC}}</ref> so {{Term|TMC|Link}} must retrieve a {{Term|TMC|Wake-Up Mushroom|link}} from {{Term|TMC|Syrup|link}} in her {{Term|TMC|Witch's Hut|link|display=Hut}} in the northernmost section of {{Term|TMC|Minish Woods|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Ha, ha! That sleepyhead {{Color|TMC Green|Rem}} is nearly impossible to wake up... If you want to wake him, you'll need to get an item from {{Color|TMC Green|Syrup}}'s hut. It's a little bit of a trek, but we'll mark it on your map for you.|Town Minish|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Ho, ho! We've done all we can with these shoes. You'll need to go to {{Color|TMC Green|Syrup}}'s hut so Rem can put on the finishing touches.|Town Minish|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Ah, yes! A fine choice, my dear! That's a limited-time article! One whiff, and you're wide-awake! That's why it's called a {{Color|TMC Red|wake-up mushroom}}!|Syrup|TMC}}</ref> To wake {{Term|TMC|Rem}}, {{Term|TMC|Link}} must face him and press the R-button,<ref>{{Cite|Heheheh... Just face the sleepy snoozer and press {{Icon|TMC R}}... That'll pop his eyes right open! POP!|Syrup|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|If I recall correctly, and I guarantee that I do, my boy... I think Syrup said to stand in front of a sleeping person and press {{Icon|TMC R}}.|Ezlo|TMC}}</ref> causing him to inhale the {{Term|TMC|Wake-Up Mushroom}}'s stench.<ref>{{Cite|You got a {{Color|TMC Red|wake-up mushroom}}!

After {{Term|TMC|Link}} awakens {{Term|TMC|Rem}} with the {{Term|TMC|Wake-Up Mushroom}}, {{Term|TMC|Rem}} finishes the {{Term|TMC|Pegasus Boots}} and gives them to {{Term|TMC|Link}} free of charge.<ref>{{Cite|Whaa--! What is that terrifyingly bad smell!? A wake-up mushroom?! I should have guessed! So you woke me up? Thanks, I just remembered I have something urgent to do! ?! Huh? What now?! There are more new shoes! You probably won't believe this, but... I have a strange habit of making shoes in my sleep! So you must have come here because you want some of my shoes, right? Tell you what: because you were nice enough to wake me, you can have 'em! Hold on a sec, though. I just want to finish this one last bit... [...] And there we go... Here, take these. Those are my special {{Color|TMC Red|Pegasus Boots}}! They're so light, you'll feel like you're practically walking on air!|Rem|TMC}}</ref> Afterwards, {{Term|TMC|Rem}} resolves to return to working on crafting {{Term|TMC|Princess Zelda|link}}'s shoes that were commissioned by {{Term|TMC|King Daltus|link}},<ref>{{Cite|Ooh, I need to hurry up and get working on that special order... The king asked me to make some shoes for Princess Zelda, you see. Thanks for waking me up. Come back if I can ever help you with shoe problems.|Rem|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I need to hurry up and make those shoes for Princess Zelda!|Rem|TMC}}</ref> only to fall asleep again.<ref>{{Cite|Whuzza?! Oh, welcome! Welcome to {{Color|TMC Green|Rem's Shoe Shop}}! I must have dozed off again... Time to make the shoes!|Rem|TMC}}</ref>
 
{{Term|TMC|Rem}} is the author of a {{Term|TMC|Library Book|link|display=Book}} titled {{Term|TMC|Rem's Anthology for Sleepless Nights|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|There seem to be many interesting books in here... {{Color|TMC Blue|Hyrule on 10 Rupees a Day}}, {{Color|TMC Blue|So Your Son Wants to Be a Hero}}... {{Color|TMC Blue|It Could Be Verse!}}, by Percy, and {{Color|TMC Blue|Rem's Anthology for Sleepless Nights}}. Hmmm, they all look pretty good, but which one to read first?|Ezlo|TMC}}</ref>
