Shibo is a character in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Biography[]

Shibo can be found at the Dueling Peaks Stable with his family. He normally stands outside with his twin brother, Darton outside the Horse pen beside the Stable. When approached, he speaks with Darton about whether Link is interested in Horses.[4][5] The two conclude that he must then be a customer to the Stable.[6][7][8]

The two offer to share their knowledge of Horses with Link. Shibo offers insight on how to catch Horses by sneaking up on them.[9] Shibo will also inform Link that spotted Horses possess an even temperament and are easy to tame whereas single-color horses are wilder and more difficult to train.[10] Shibo and Darton's father, Rensa, also gave the two advice on what kind of Horse is difficult to train, and which to start with.[11][12] When asked about how to train a Horse properly, Shibo points out that a Horse will not be obedient at first and must be soothed at first and when it performs well.[13][14]

At night, Shibo will go inside the Stable to sleep. While asleep, Shibo will count spotted Horses.[15] When he wakes up, Shibo will attempt to beat Darton to the Horse pen.[16]

  1. 1.0 1.1 "Huh? Did you not see any horses on your way here? Certainly not as many as in years past, but there are still quite a few around... Horses in the wild are...well, wild! No one has trained or cared for them. If you manage to catch one, let my brother Tasseren know. He'll register the horse for you! My boys are wellsprings of information about horses, so feel free to pick their brains." — Rensa (Breath of the Wild)
  2. "If you manage to catch one, let my brother Tasseren know. He'll register the horse for you!" — Rensa (Breath of the Wild)
  3. "You really can tell just by looking into his eyes! Bro, his head is just filled with horse stuff, right?" — Darton (Breath of the Wild)
  4. "Hey, Shibo... You think this nosy guy right here is interested in horses?" — Darton (Breath of the Wild)
  5. "Looks like it to me, Darton... Judging from his eyes, he's just itching to get into the saddle." — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
  6. "That means..." — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
  7. "THAT MEANS..." — Darton (Breath of the Wild)
  8. "That means we've got ourselves a customer!" — Darton (Breath of the Wild)
  9. "[Catching a horse...] Wild horses get scared easily, and if they notice people near them, they'll take off. Just sneak up on 'em from behind real slow. When you get good and close...grab 'em and jump on quick!" — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
  10. "[Good horses?] Horses with spots on them are even-tempered and easy to train. On the other hand, horses that are all one color, like straight black or white, are a bit more wild and harder to train." — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
  11. "Dad said they're hard to handle at first, but if you spend a lot of time with a one-color horse, you'll be best buds!" — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
  12. "Dad also said that beginners should start with spotted horses... When I grow up, I'll ride a one-color horse, though!" — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
  13. "They're really wild, so they'll run in different directions and buck here and there because they aren't trained yet. When that happens, you've gotta soothe them!" — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
  14. "The trick is to soothe them when they do what you want them to do. It's like saying "thanks" to them for a job well done!" — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
  15. "One spotted horse... Two spotted horses..." — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
  16. "Today I'm gonna beat Darton to the place where the horses are!" — Shibo (Breath of the Wild)
