Biography
Breath of the Wild
Dantz is a Hylian who works at Hateno Pasture in Hateno Village. He carries a Farmer's Pitchfork, which he uses to move hay. When Link first approaches him, Dantz asks if he is a wanderer.[7] He mutters to himself that this could work,[8] noting Link looks like he can use a Bow and asking if he could help.[9]
If Link agrees, Dantz remarks that he is the answer to his prayers.[10] He explains that he needs Link to hunt the Mountain Bucks in Retsam Forest, since they are overpopulated and destroying the environment.[11][12] He gives Link a time limit of one minute.[13] Should Link accept thos, Dantz wants to know if he can start hunting right away.[14]
When Link asks if there is a trick, Dantz suggests using a strong Bow so that he will only have to take one shot.[15] He also advises sneaking up to Deer without them noticing.[16] If Link decides to head out, Dantz calls him a trooper and asserts that he is counting on him.[17] Before the Deer Hunting Mini-Game starts, Dantz says he will call for Link once the minute is up.[18] When Link runs out of time, he will be transported back to Dantz.[19]
If Link fails to get a single Deer, Dantz refuses to give him any reward.[20] He gives him one Rupees for getting one to three Deer as thanks for doing his part.[21] If he gets four to six deer, Dantz calls Link vicious and rewards him with a Blue Rupee.[22] For seven to nine Deer, Dantz admits it is more than he thought Link would get and gives him a Red Rupee.[23] Dantz is shocked if Link gets all 10 Deer, saying there is such a thing as being too good at hunting and giving him a Purple Rupee.[24]
Like all residents of Hateno Village, Dantz will notice if Link speaks to him while carrying the Blue Flame. He recalls that Purah used to carry a similar flame,[25] and while he does not know why a stranger has it, he sends Link along anyway.[26] Afterwards, he will encourage Link to continue on his delivery for Purah.[27]

I finally found the letter my great-grandpa left, but it accidentally fell in the pond.

If you have questions about the pasture, my son, Dantz, handles all that now.

My daughter, Koyin, is always out staring into that pond, so I doubt she'd be any help gathering acorns.

Oh! Good day, stranger! Hrm? Are you some kinda wanderer?
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Hrm, interesting... This could work out...
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
You look handy with a bow. Mind helping a poor farmer out?
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Woo-hoo! I had a lucky feeling you were the answer to my prayers!
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
So what I need is for you to hunt some deer out in Retsam Forest. They're overpopulated these days, and it's destroying the forest.
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
The thing with these deer, though... We really have to get their numbers under control.
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
That's why I was hoping you could hunt all the deer you can...in one minute.
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Thank you! Can...can you go right away?
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
[Is there a trick to this?] A trick? Well, I guess it helps to have a strong bow to take 'em down with one shot.
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
And of course, you want to get close enough to the deer to line up your shot without them noticing you.
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
What a trooper! I'm counting on you!
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
About that deer hunting... No time like the present, right? Go get started, and I'll call you once your minute is up, OK?
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
That's time! Come back, wanderer!
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Huh? You didn't even get ONE? Sorry, but no results, no reward.
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Thanks for doing your part! Here's a reward for you...
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
You're downright vicious with that bow, wanderer! Here's a reward for you...
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I knew you were a go-getter, but this is more than I ever dreamed of! Here's a reward for you...
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
You got 10 deer?! Easy there, wanderer. I didn't think I'd be saying this, but there's such a thing as being TOO good a hunter. I won't skimp on it this time!
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Old lady Purah used to carry a flame of that color... You think? Nah...
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I don't know what a stranger like you is doing with it, but you'd better hurry along now.
— Dantz (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Shouldn't you deliver that flame to old lady Purah up in her lab?
