Biography

Breath of the Wild

Seldon is a man who owns the Ventest Clothing Boutique in Hateno Village. He is the father of Sophie and formerly managed the Store, but has since left it in his daughter's care.^[4] In his free time, he offers Seldon's Village Tours for travelers visiting Hateno Village.^[5] He can be found pacing the road near the entrance to the village, awaiting visitors. Should Link refuse a tour, Seldon will make his disappointment clear with a sigh.^[6] If Link agrees to his offer, he will run across Hateno Village's thoroughfare, guiding Link to the various shops.^[4] As Seldon runs through the village, he has to urge himself forward and keep himself focused.^[7]^[8]

The first place Seldon guides Link to is East Wind, the Store opposite the Ventest Clothing Boutique.^[9] He then guides Link to the Kochi Dye Shop, a dyeing shop operated by Sayge.^[10] The third place Seldon directs Link to is The Great Ton Pu Inn, where Link can rest for the night.^[11] Completing the tour, Seldon brings Link to his own shop, welcoming him to visit when he has the time and stock up on Armor before visiting the Kochi Dye Shop.^[12] If spoken to again, Seldon will either tell Link that the tours will resume when he catches his breath,^[13] or that the tours are closed until he has had a rest.^[14] However, Seldon will not have the energy for another tour until the following day.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Seldon will head home for the day, assuring Link that he can give him a tour in the morning.^[15] He sleeps on the bottom half of a bunk Bed and tends to grind his teeth as he sleeps.^[16]

If it rains in Hateno Village, Seldon will retreat to the interior of the Ventest Clothing Boutique and sit at the work station at the back of the store.
