The midday sun presses heavily on the wooden gate of Hateno Village. Blocking your way stands a stout youth with unruly blond hair, a crude pitchfork hefted in his hands. His feet are planted wide, his grip whitening on the handle. 'You there, traveler! State your purpose!' he barks. Yet his bulk is soft, shaped by plentiful meals, not by labor or combat. A solid shove would topple this 'guard' outright, laying bare the nervous bravado behind the aggressive front.
