Biography
Rem is a prestigious shoemaker whom Link met up with in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Rem is considered one of the best shoemakers, seeing as how he was asked to make a pair of shoes for Princess Zelda herself.

When Link was unable to enter Castor Wilds because he kept sinking in the muck, he visited Rem in hope that he could obtain a pair of Pegasus Boots. When Link entered Rem's shop, however, Rem fell fast asleep, with not much chance for waking up. Link shrunk down to Minish size, and found that Rem did not make the shoes, but Minish did. The Minish agreed to make Pegasus Boots for Link, but because Rem needed to put some final touches on them, Link had to wake him up.

After obtaining the Wake-up Mushroom from Syrup the witch, Link merely wafted it by Rem, who immediatly woke up. He then finished up the Pegasus Boots and gave them to Link.

Trivia
The relationship Rem has with the Minish is reminescent of the story The Elves and the Shoemaker, where a shoemaker is helped by elves at night while he is asleep.
