Biography
Breath of the Wild
Konba is a Hylian man who can be found camped at the Footrace Check-In. He operates the Foot Race Mini-Game.
When approached, Konba notices that Link looks tough and challenges him to a friendly race.[4] If Link declines his offer, Konba will be disappointed, as he finally thought that he found a worthy opponent.[5] Alternatively, if Link accepts, Konba will introduce stakes to their race.[6]
Link can refuse Konba's stakes, which causes him to say he will never get anywhere in life with such an attitude.[7] If Link decides to go along with it, Konba will leave to set up the Foot Race.[8] Once Konba returns, he explains that the objective of the Foot Race is the pair of Big Flags on top of Mount Rhoam.[9] However, he reminds Link that it is a Foot Race, not a "hoof race," and he will be disqualified if he rides a Horse.[10] After explaining this, he will begin the Foot Race.[11]
If Link reaches the Big Flags before Konba does, he will be shocked to see that he lost.[12] Back at the Footrace Check-In, he reluctantly rewards Link with a Purple Rupee.[13] However, if Konba finishes the Foot Race before Link, he will gloat and cheer for his victory.[14] When they return to the Footrace Check-In, Konba tells Link that he did well, but he will have to try harder if he wants to beat him.[15]
After finishing a Foot Race, Konba will ask Link if he wants to start another one.[16] If Link agrees, Konba will become excited and explains that the rules are the same as before.[17] If Link refuses, Konba will be disappointed, but he encourages Link to use his traveling as a chance to build his leg muscles.[18] He also invites Link to come back to the Footrace Check-In if he ever wants to race again.[19]
