Biography
Breath of the Wild
Nobiro is a Hylian who resides at the Kara Kara Bazaar. At all hours of the day, he can be found on the lookout post at the Kara Kara Bazaar Barracks, even sleeping on the stool nearby. While he is awake, he looks out at the Great Cliffs.
When Link first approaches Nobiro, he shares a rumor that the Sandstorm over the Great Cliffs stops for a few hours everyday, but he has never been able to witness this for himself.[4] He has heard that an ancient civilization hid their treasure in the Sandstorm.[5] Due to this, Nobiro has been waiting for an opportunity to find the treasure, though he has begun to suspect he was given a bad lead.[6] Finally turning to Link, Nobiro realizes that he does not know who he is.[7] After this, "The Eye of the Sandstorm" Shrine Quest will begin.
If Link speaks to Nobiro again, he remarks that a treasure being hidden by a Sandstorm sounds like the beginning of a good adventure.[8] He recounts that rumor that the Sandstorm stops for a few hours every day, claiming that the only times he is not watching it is when he falls asleep.[9] Once again, he turns to Link and asks who he is.[7] While Nobiro sleeps, he mutters about tomorrow being the day that the Sandstorm will stop.[10]
After Link completes the Dako Tah Shrine, the Sandstorm that concealed it will permanently disappear. Nobiro will be surprised by this and point it out to Link.[11] At night, he tries to prevent himself from sleeping by talking.[12]
Tears of the Kingdom
As part of the Monster-Control Crew, Nobiro has been tasked with guarding the interior of Hyrule Castle from thieves, due to the treasure and Weapons that are located inside.[13] He can be found in the Observation Room, and he carries a Soldier's Spear.
Nobiro can be seen looking into the Reception Room, and he compares Hyrule Castle to a maze.[14] When he sees Link, he apologizes for not noticing him, and introduces himself and his job.[15] Although he admits to being lost, Nobiro allows Link to venture inside Hyrule Castle, citing the fact that it is where he is from.[16] However, he warns Link that Monsters can still be found on the premises.[17]

That sandstorm... They say it stops for a few hours a day, but it hasn't let up even a little since I've been watching.

Rumor has it an ancient civilization hid a treasure inside that sandstorm.
— Nobiro (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I've been here for days waiting for the storm to settle down so I can nab it! I just hope it wasn't a bad lead...

Wait, who did you say you are again?
— Nobiro (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
A treasure hidden inside a sandstorm by an ancient civilization... The makings of a find adventure for sure.
— Nobiro (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
They say the sandstorm lets up for a few hours each day, but I haven't seen it settle down even an instant. I've had my eyes glued to it allthis time. Except for when I've fallen asleep...
— Nobiro (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Tomorrow will be the day I see this sandstorm swirl to a halt... I just know it!
— Nobiro (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
The sandstorm stopped!

Not sleeping... Not...sleeping...
— Nobiro (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I'm standing guard to keep any thieves from stealing the valuable treasure and weapons inside the castle. Trust me, I've got this handled. You don't need to worry about a thing!
— Nobiro (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
So this is the inside of Hyrule Castle... It's practically a maze. Hm?
— Nobiro (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Oh, Link, right? Sorry about that, I didn't see you there. I'm Nobiro. There's still a bunch of valuable treasure and weapons inside the castle, so they asked me to guard the place from thieves.
— Nobiro (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
But I'm a little lost... Oh, but don't you worry about me! Go right ahead. I mean, you are from the castle after all, so...yeah!
— Nobiro (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Oh, but since you're from the castle, you're more than welcome to go inside. Just be careful. I've heard that there are monsters running around in there...
