Danton is a character in Breath of the Wild.[1]

Biography[]

Danton is a Hylian who resides at Snowfield Stable. During the day, he will sit beside his Cooking Pot outside of the Stable. He warns Link that he should make Cold Resistant Food before heading into the Hebra Mountains.[2] He allows Link to use his Cooking Pot, as leaving for such a journey unprepared would be unacceptable.[3] If it starts to snow, Danton will retreat inside the Stable.

When Link first approaches Danton, he will talk about how great something must be before asking if he knows what he is talking about.[4] If Link explains that he does not know, Danton reveals he is talking about the Sword that Seals the Darkness, which legends state has been hidden somewhere in Hyrule Kingdom.[5] He is enamored by the Sword and dreams of owning it.[6][7] Should Link speaks to him again, Danton will imagine what it would be like if he found the Master Sword,[8] claiming he would use it to defeat every monster in the Hebra Mountains.[9] Even while sleeping, Danton dreams about the Sword.[10]

After obtaining the Master Sword, Link can show it to Danton.[11] Once he calms down, Danton will note that the Sword is not as big or extravagant as he thought it would be,[12] but he still finds it amazing and says that he will never forget the day he saw it.[13] If Link speaks to Danton again, he will state that according to legend, Link is the chosen hero.[14] In that scenario, Danton makes Link promise he will never give up, despite all of the challenges he will have to face.[15]
