Lester is a character in Breath of the Wild[2] and Tears of the Kingdom.

Biography[]

Lester is a Hylian man who works at Rito Stable on the Tabantha Frontier. He spends his days sitting by the Cooking Pot outside of the Stable.

When Link first speaks to Lester, he admits that he enjoys spices.[3] In particular, he likes the spiciness of Curry Rice.[4] While he has the Hylian Rice he needs in order to make it, he has run out of Goron Spice.[5] However, he is unable to leave Rito Stable to acquire it.[6] Therefore, he asks Link to bring him Goron Spice if he ever has some.[7] If Link agrees, Lester will thank him, as Curry Rice keeps him warm.[8] The "Curry for What Ails You" Side Quest will then begin.

After obtaining Goron Spice, Link can return to Rito Stable to give it to Lester.[9] Once Lester has confirmed its authenticity, he offers to buy it from Link for 50 Rupees.[10] If Link agrees to this deal, Lester will be relieved that he can make Curry Rice to keep warm.[11] He then gives Link a Purple Rupee.[12] Lester asks Link to bring him more Goron Spice if he has it, offering him Hylian Rice in return.[13] He also shares that by Cooking other ingredients with Goron Spice and Hylian Rice, Link can make a variety of curry dishes.[14] When he finishes speaking, the Side Quest will be completed.

If Link speaks to Lester afterwards, he will recognize him and ask if he has any Goron Spice to trade for Hylian Rice.[15] If Link agrees to the exchange, Lester is expresses his joy to be able to make Curry Rice, at which point he gives Link his Hylian Rice.[16] If Link refuses, Lester claims he will not force him to do anything, noting that he looks like he needs a good meal.[17]

In Tears of the Kingdom, Lester works as a stablehand in Lookout Landing, a newly-built village located south of Hyrule Castle. Karson plans to help build a small stable for Lester to house the horses he cares for.
