#brigo

He carries a spear, and seems to be in charge of keeping monsters away from the bridge. It's unclear if this is a proper job or just a hobby. We see a few other Hylian NPCs like Hoz that seem to have a job as a guard, but it's unclear who is organizing and paying them, since it's not like Hyrule has a central government at the moment.

He'll also tell us about the towers and shrines, which must be quite confusing to the general populace of Hyrule.

He'll even warn us about Guardians.

He nearly died from one!

This is helpful advice for new players, as you can hide behind trees to avoid Guardians if you're sneaky enough.

But people more likely recognize him as the NPC who tells you not to jump off the bridge.

According to the Zelda Wiki, it's possible that Brigo is inspired by Kevin Briggs, who is known as a Highway Patrol officer who talked a lot of people out of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

He'll also tell us about the area, including directions for Kakariko Village. There's also a LOT of warnings against going to Hyrule Castle, which is good advice for players who just started their adventure.

If it rains, he'll take shelter by a nearby cover with a campfire.

---------------------------------------

In Tears of the Kingdom, he can be found traveling the roads around Whistling Hill with his donkey. He'll chat with us for a little bit and talks about how much the world has changed. There isn't much to get him excited anymore since the unusual is usual now.

When it rains, he will find cover under a tree by the Riverside Stable, but not inside the stable itself.

He'll still call us a young guy.

It's unclear why he's not a guard anymore and where he got the donkey, but he has a Zonai Survey Team uniform.

Perhaps he wanted to explore the world now that it's not covered in Guardians. He seems to be doing well for himself as a researcher.
