Dayto Is The Most Commonly Agreed Upon Robin Williams NPC
There are a few possible tributes to Robin Williams inBotW, and some fans are divided on whether they’re a nod to the actor or not. Yet, there’s one NPC candidate who fans mostly agree shares an uncanny resemblance to Robin Williams.The NPC in question is Dayto, a traveler found near the Foothill Stable in the Eldin Canyon.
Robin Williams had been a fan of the Zelda series since 1987, when he first played the originalZeldagame.
To reach the Foothill Stable, you cantravel by horse, fast travel to the Mo’a Keet Shrine, or use the paraglider from either the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower or Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower. Other prominent nearby locations include thefamiliar Death Mountain, Cephla Lake, and the Maw of Death Mountain. Once at the stable, Dayto, the Robin Williams lookalike, can be found wandering the path just below the stable.

Dayto’s Location Is Different In TOTK
Tears of the Kingdom also pays tribute to Robin Williams through Dayto. However,Dayto is no longer near the Foothill Stable. Instead, you can find him working at YunoboCo Headquarters. Dayto getting a job at YunoboCo HQ is surprising, to say the least, given that his initial appearance in BotW was him being indecisive, worried about enemies, and concerned about the heat.
To find Dayto inTotK, head to YunoboCo HQ, which can be found north of Goron City, or east of Darunia Lake. Head inside the HQ to find Dayto working behind the counter, sellingfire-resistant gear. You can also sell items to Dayto in exchange for rupees. While buying from Dayto is helpful to Link’s adventure, it’s also quite special to know that Robin Williams lives forever within theZelda: Breath of the Wilduniverse.
