The Running Man is a character from A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time.
A Link to the Past
Located in the center of town nearby to the Sweeping Lady, the Running Man will stand still until Link draws near. Believing that Link is the one who captured Princess Zelda, the Running Man will flee once he comes close.
After Link has completed the Eastern Palace and has obtained the Pegasus Boots from Sahasrahla, he will be able to catch the Running Man. The Running Man comments that because of Link's great speed, it must have been easy to capture Princess Zelda. However, he notes that Link doesn't seem like such a bad guy and gives him advice. He tells Link that he can dash into trees, as some of them have valuable items that will fall from their branches.
Once Link has defeated Agahnim, the Running Man will disappear from Kakariko Village. It isn't until the end game credits where he is seen again.
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, after Link has acquired all three Spiritual Stones, the Running Man will appear and can be found jogging around Hyrule Field. At nighttime, the Running Man will stop and sit down at whatever location he current is at. In the Happy Mask Side Quest, the Running Man will purchase the Bunny Hood from Link. Even though the mask costs 50 rupees, the Running Man will pay an amount that will fill Link's wallet, up to 500 rupees.
When Link is an adult, he will find the Running Man in a tent within Gerudo Valley. Link can 'race' him to the entrance to the Kokiri Forest. Despite this being a race, it is actually impossible to beat him. Regardless of the time it takes for Link to reach Kokiri Forest, the Running Man will always finish a second before Link.
