Biography

Breath of the Wild

Cloyne is a Hylian resident of Lurelin Village. He runs the Treasure-Chest Game Mini-Game at his Shop, All or Nothing, that he inherited from his father after he passed away.[3] He is known to have gained a variety of knowledge from the Books he keeps in the Shops, resulting in him having a unique outlook on life.[4]

When Link first speaks to Cloyne, he beckons him to come closer.[5] He then asks if Link would like to be rich without working for it.[6] Though Link reacts with shock, Cloyne assures him that what he is talking about is not illegal.[7] He goes on to explain that Link can put a wager on the Treasure Chests in the Shop.[8] Then, he can open any Chest he picks and get all of the Rupees inside.[9] However, Cloyne reveals that only one will allow a profit.[10] Link is not allowed to play until he bets, and Cloyne claims the more he bets, the more he could win.[11] He reasons that Link since must have expenses, getting some quick cash could be beneficial.[12]

When asking if Link wants to play, Cloyne says the only thing he could lose is his pride and his Rupees.[13] He gives Link the option to bet 10, 50, or 100 Rupees.[14] With a 10 Rupee bet, Cloyne states that it s smart to start low.[15] If Link chooses to bet 50 Rupees, Cloyne remarks that he is ready to make real money.[16] Should he bet 100 Rupees, Cloyne congratulates him on living on the edge, stating that he reminds him of himself.[17] After Link's bet, Cloyne then sets up the Treasure Chests, telling him not to look.[18] Once he is done setting up, Cloyne tells Link to step up and take his chances.[19] If Link tries to speak to him during the game, Cloyne reminds him to pay attention.[20]

Should Link not win the Treasure-Chest Game, Cloyne is unsympathetic and says he will win next time.[21] He then asks Link if he is going to keep going or admit defeat.[22] If Link decides to stop, Cloyne will be understanding and respect that he knows when to walk away.[23] If Link wins, Cloyne comments on his luck.[24][25][26]
