Biography
Ponnick is a member of the Zonai Survey Team, who accompanies Robbie while he is investigating Hyrule Field Chasm. When Link approaches him, he reveals that Robbie instructed him to guide Link to his location.[2] However, Ponnick did not bring enough Brightbloom Seeds to keep up with Robbie, and now he has lost him.[3] He claims that Robbie was initially only visiting the Nisoij Lightroot nearby, but he kept walking past it, [4] Ponnick then asks Link if he has any Brightbloom Seeds.[5] If Link says that he does not, Ponnick impresses upon him the danger of exploring the Depths without Light.[6] If Link claims to have Brightbloom Seeds, Ponnick will be relieved.[7] Either way, Ponnick tells him that they can be found in Caves on the Surface, and he can throw them or shoot them on Arrows to cause them to bloom into Brightblooms.[8][9] Before Link leaves, Ponnick once again expresses his sadness about not having enough Brightbloom Seeds.[10]

Are you Link? Pleasure to meet you. I am Ponnick, from the Zonai Survey Team. Robbie told me to guide you to him once you arrived.

But he rushed along with such haste that I didn't bring enough brightbloom seeds, and now I've run out. So I lost sight of him...

I thought he was taking a short walk over to that glowing area over there. Then he just kept going... and going... And last I saw him, he was heading way out there, off to the west.

Do you have any brightbloom seeds with you?
— Ponnick (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
[I don't] Oh, that's no good at all. Light from the surface doesn't reach down here, as you might have noticed. It's incredibly dangerous to explore here without a light source.

[I do.] Oh, that's great news. Light from the surface doesn't reach down here, as you might have noticed. You'd be risking your life to wander here without a light source, you know.

You can easily get brightbloom seeds from caves, and they'll light up if struck, so they're pretty easy to use too. We use the seeds all the time on the Zonai Survey Team. The simplest way is to throw them with your hand.

Those of us skilled enough with a bow will attach them to arrows and fire them off into the distance down here.

Although, this time, Robbie grabbed me in such a rush that I didn't gather enough in advance...
