Gartan is a character in Breath of the Wild.[2]

Biography[]

Gartan is a Hylian Merchant that can be found traveling on foot in the Gerudo Desert.[3] He carries a Wooden Shield and a Traveler's Sword as he travels between Gerudo Canyon Stable and the entrance to Gerudo Town. Along the way, he passes through Kara Kara Bazaar.

Gartan is very interested in Gerudo women.[4][5][6][7] He is very defensive of this, claiming that business is his top priority.[8] He is disappointed that he is not allowed to move into Gerudo Town.[9]

Gartan enjoys being a Merchant because it gives him an excuse to talk to the Gerudo.[10] At Kara Kara Bazaar, Gartan is excited about making small talk with the Gerudo there.[11] Gartan then says that it is just part of his job to make friends and asks Link if he wants some Apples.[12] However, he admits that he gets nervous around Gerudo ladies.[13]

While Divine Beast Vah Naboris is still active, Gartan reveals that it makes traveling to Gerudo Town from Kara Kara Bazaar dangerous.[14] However, he refuses to let it stop him from meeting Gerudo ladies.[15] He is also very worried about the presence of thieves in Gerudo Town.[16]

Gartan considers the term "wasteland" to be accurate when describing the Gerudo Desert, as there are many monsters and sandstorms.[17] However, he does not know how else someone is supposed to meet Gerudo women.[1][18]

Gartan can also be found at the Gerudo Canyon Stable, where he tells Link that he wishes more Gerudo ladies would come by.[19][20] Gartan sometimes mutters about his determination to get into Gerudo Town and get close to the ladies.[21] When he notices Link listening, he tells him that he was just muttering about "important business secrets."[22]

Gartan journeyed to Gerudo Town to get to know the Gerudo better, but he did not find out men were not allowed until he got there.[23] Link can catch Gartan muttering to himself that there must be a way into the Town.[24] When Gartan notices that Link is listening, he is startled and nervously explains that he was just thinking out loud to nobody.[25][26]

If Link saves Gartan from monsters, he may say how close of a save it was to himself.[27] He considers the only thing scarier than monsters to be Gerudo women.[28] His strategy for surviving attacks is to run away.[29] He gives Link Rupees for saving him.[30]

Link can buy Items from Gartan.[31] He thanks Link for his purchases.[32][33] When Linkbuys all of one of his products, he apologizes that he has run out.[34] He is grateful for Link's business when all of his stock is bought out.[35]

In addition to selling his wares, Gartan will also purchase Items from Link.[36][37][38][39] He is appreciative of the products he is able to buy,[40] and he asks if Link has more for him.[41]
