Features and Overview
Breath of the Wild
Faron Highroad is an expansive road that begins around the Taobab Grassland in the Gerudo Highlands, continues into the Faron Grasslands and West Necluda, then ends in Lurelin Village in East Necluda.[1][3][note 1] It passes through the Oseira Plains, Nautelle Wetlands, Darybon Plains, Harfin Valley, Fural Plain, Faron Woods, Pagos Woods, Floria River, Sarjon Bridge, Sarjon Woods, Floria Bridge, Ebara Forest, and Atun Valley before ending at Lurelin Village. Several encampments can be found along the Faron Highroad, such as the Mounted Archery Camp, Highland Stable, and Lakeside Stable.
The travelers Chumin, his Donkey, Letty, Spinch, and his Horse who is also named Spinch frequent the Faron Highroad between Highland Stable and Lurelin Village. Other travelers can be found on smaller portions of the Highroad. Between Highland Stable and Lakeside Stable, Link can encounter Meeshy and Totsuna. Beedle can also be found along the Faron Highroad near Highland Stable and Lakeside Stable. Finally, Regan is found along the Faron Highroad near a broken down Wagon in Atun Valley, where he is being attacked by a Blue Bokoblin. When Link saves him, he will receive Food and Rupees as a reward.[8]
Kass can be encountered playing his bandoneon along the Faron Highroad in the Pagos Woods.[9] When Link approaches, Kass will greet him.[10] He reveals that he knows an "Ancient Song" pertaining to the area, which he offers to play for Link.[11] The "Ancient Song" describes a Dragon in the forest, where an Ancient Shrine can be found.[12] After listening to Kass, "The Serpent's Jaws" Shrine Quest will begin.
After the "Seek Out Impa" Main Quest has been completed, a Traveler can be found along the Faron Highroad in Atun Valley. As Link passes by, they will beckon him closer with the promise of wares to buy.[13] When Link speaks to them, they claim to have Mighty Bananas for sale.[14][15] If Link agrees to shop, the Traveler will speak highly of their wares.[16][17] One group of Mighty Bananas costs 99 Rupees.[18] When Link makes a purchase, the Traveler will thank him and encourage him to buy more.[19][20][21] Link can also choose to buy all 99 Mighty Bananas in stock, for a total of 9,801 Rupees.[22] Should Link agree to this deal, the Traveler calls him a Banana fan.[23] Afterwards, Link will be unable to buy Mighty Bananas.[24] Following their transaction, the Traveler says they would like for Link to come back later, though they reveal this to be a lie.[25] Alternatively, if Link refuses to buy Mighty Bananas, the Traveler will be shocked and demand that he make a purchase.[26] If Link again refuses, the Traveler accuses him of hating Bananas.[27] At the end of their encounter, the Traveler changes their tune, revealing that they are part of the Yiga Clan.[28][29] They will then turn into a Yiga Footsoldier carrying a Vicious Sickle or a Demon Carver, and they will then proceed to attack Link.

Notes
- ↑ In Creating a Champion, the Faron Highroad is depicted as existing entirely within the Faron Region.[4] However, this contradicts the game's file data, which depicts parts of the Highroad as being part of the Gerudo Highlands, West Necluda, and East Necluda.[5][6][7] Therefore, this is not considered Canon.
