## Biography

Baumar is a Hylian who travels with his Horse, Bamboo, while carrying a Fisherman's Shield and a Traveler's Sword. The pair travel a portion of the Hilltop High Road between Serenne Stable and Snowfield Stable.

When Baumar was a child, he almost got lost up in the Hebra Mountains. While a shield surfer saved him, Baumar has trouble recall his name. Falmark was the shield surfer, and he claims that surfing down the mountain with a child on his back was difficult.

Baumar shows a lot of appreciation for Bamboo. He refers to his Horse with a lot of affectionate terms, such as "totally gnarly", "radical", and "most excellent". He also offers directions as the two of them travel. If Link overhears him talking to Bamboo, he will explain that he is not good at conversing with people.

Baumar enjoys Shield Surfing, finding it difficult to go long times without doing so. His plan for his journey is to stop at Snowfield Stable, at which point he will head to the Hebra Mountains to Shield Surf. Ocassionaly, he will say that he has no time to chat with Link. He claims to be talented, though he describes his process as climbing the Mountains and Surfing. When he makes it to Snowfield Stable, Baumar is excited to head up the Hebra Mountains and finally go Shield Surfing.

On the way to the Hebra Mountains, Baumar mentally prepares himself for Shield Surfing, and he becomes annoyed if Link interrupts him. The legendary Shield Surfer, Selmie, supposedly had all of her routes memorized. There is a rumor Baumar has heard that Selmie is waiting on the Hebra Mountains for a worthy opponent.

If he is caught in the rain, Baumar will be disappointed disappointed that he can not shield surf. While it is storming or snowing, Baumar wonders if professional shield surfers head out in this type of weather, confessing he would break his neck if he wiped out.

Occasionally, Baumar will give Link a Shield Surfing tip. For example, depending on the type of Shield used, one's surfing will be different. He knows of a Shield that is supposed to be good for Shield Surfing, which is the Knight's Shield, but he can not remember what it is called. Additionally, he has heard of the Hylian Shield within Hyrule Castle, which is supposed to be durable.
