Hino is a character in Breath of the Wild[1] and Tears of the Kingdom.

Biography[]

Hino is an inhabitant of Hyrule Kingdom who resides at Dueling Peaks Stable. He is a researcher focused on the phenomenon of the Blood Moon.[2] Each night, he stays up until 3:00 AM in order to observe the moon, at which point he decides to sleep.[3][4]

Should Link reveal that he knows nothing about the Blood Moon, Hino will tell him that in some nights, the moon rises blood-red and, at midnight, revives all monsters that have been defeated thus far.[5] Due to it being a common occurrence, there is not much research into why it happens, but this does not dissuade Hino.[6] However, he admits that he has no idea why this is happening.[7] He asks Link to tells him if he finds any information on what exactly causes the Blood Moon to rise.[8]

While he is watching for the moon, Hino will make comments on where it is in the sky if Link approaches him. During the day, Hino asks Link if he is interested in his research.[9] Before the moon rises, he will be awaiting its arrival.[10] While the moon is up, Hino remarks that it is beautiful.[11] After the moon sets for the night, Hino will be disappointed that it is gone.[12]

In addition to information on the Blood Moon, Hino is able to tell Link what phase the moon will be in that coming night. On the night of a new moon, Hino says that even though it can't be seen, he is happy to know the moon is there.[13] He comments that the shape of the crescent moon makes him hungry.[14] Hino compares the seven-day moon to a Bow aiming towards the land, which he thinks is beautiful.[15] On the 13th-day moon, Hino anticipates it expanding in the coming nights.[16] When the full moon rises, Hino says it looks as though it could fall at any minute, and he has a hard time taking his eyes off of it.[17] The day after the full moon, Hino remarks that though it is smaller, it is nice in its own way.[18] Similar to the seven-day moon, Hino compares the third-quarter moon to a Bow aiming towards the heavens.[19] The 26th-day moon has a sloping line that Hino considers to be wonderful.[20] Finally, leading up to the Blood Moon, Hino will reveal that he has a feeling something is going to happen.[21][22]

When it is Raining, Hino will flee inside Dueling Peaks Stable.[23] He complains that he is unable to see the moon during this weather,[24] a point which he reiterates if Link asks what phase it will be in that night.[25]

During a Blood Moon, Hino will grow agitated and begin to run around Dueling Peaks Stable screaming.[26][27] If Link talks to him during this time, he may witness him growling,[28] basking in the color of the moon,[29] claiming that his blood is boiling,[30] or reveling in the revival of the monsters.[31] He calms down at 12:30 AM, and when Link speaks to him during this time, he asks if he was also observing the Blood Moon.[32] Now that the Blood Moon has passed, Hino states that it is time to wait for the next one.[33]

In Tears of the Kingdom, Hino can be found as a captive at various monster camp you encounter, due to being captured when trying to observe monsters. Upon being freed, he will award Link with some food and elixirs, and would also inform link the state the moon currently in, and would inform link how long till a new blood moon will arrive.
