Kohm
Kohm is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[2][3]
Biography
Breath of the Wild
Kohm is a Gerudo who manages the Sand-Seal Rental Shop Northwest Booth in Gerudo Town. Her daughter, Frelly, trains the Sand Seals and manages the Sand-Seal Rental Shop Southeast Booth.[4]
When Link speaks to Kohm, she introduces herself, reasoning that Link is the Hylian that Frelly was talking about.[1] Kohm explains that they rent out Sand Seals and that their business is thriving.[5] While it seems unlikely, their business is actually thriving, which is aided by the fact that customers can easily learn how to ride Sand Seals.[6] The only thing Link will have to do is stand on his Shield, and the Sand Seal will pull him through the Gerudo Desert.[7] Kohm also explains that due to their training, their Sand Seals are easier to ride than wild Sand Seals.[8] She tells Link to let her know when he needs a Sand Seal.[9]
The next time Link visits Kohm, she tells him that he will need a Sand Seal in order to cross the Gerudo Desert.[10] She offers to rent him one for 20 Rupees.[11] If Link asks how to "set seal," Kohm explains that he will only need to guide his Sand Seal.[12] She claims that the best way to learn is through experience.[13]
Whether Link refuses or accepts Kohm's offer, she will notice his Sand Seal puns and wonder if that is how people speak outside of Gerudo Town.[14] If Link chose not to rent a Sand Seal, Kohm reminds him that he would be wise to take one if he travels outside of Gerudo Town.[15]
After hearing Link's puns, Kohm will begin to incorporate them into her speech. She says that a Sand Seal is the best way to cross the Gerudo Desert, claiming that Link will "seal" what she means.[16] When Link asks about riding Sand Seals this time, she states that he will "seal" how easy it is to learn.[17] If Link decides to rent a Sand Seal, Kohm says it was great "sealing" him.[18] If Link refuses, Kohm reminds him that the Gerudo Desert "stretches as far as the eye can seal."[19]
