Richard (Link's Awakening)

Richard was a swordsman who lived on Koholint Island.

He originally resided in Kanalet Castle, but his servants rebelled and he was driven out of the castle. Richard then built his own house, known as Richard's Villa, which was filled with frogs. While apparently not too upset over being thrown out of his castle, he did miss his five Golden Leaves which were left inside it. Link helps him retrieve the leaves, and receives the Slime Key as thanks.

Behind the scenes
Richard actually hails from a Game Boy game only released in Japan titled Kaeru No Tame Ni Kane Wa Naru (translated as For the Frog the Bell Tolls). The music played in his villa is a remixed version of the Japanese title's main theme, and the frogs are a reference to the gameplay of his own game.
