Coro is a character that appears in Twilight Princess. His home is in the Faron Woods within the province of its namesake, just past the border with Ordona Province. He seems to be at peace with the animals and nature around him, as evidenced by the bird nesting in his hair. He makes a living by selling Lantern Oil, but he is most notable for being the source of a Bottle. Furthermore, he allows Link to indulge in the Nasty Soup.
Iza and Hena are Coro's siblings.
Overview
In Twilight Princess, Coro is first encountered sitting outside of his home. He assists Link in his quest to locate Talo by way of gifting him a Lantern. This is a supposed "business tactic" of his, as Link must purchase Lantern Oil from him in order for the item to operate.[1] The Lantern remains a useful item throughout Link's adventure, for it is needed in the traversal of the very dark places he sometimes finds himself in. To acquire more oil, Link can return to Coro to do so. However, there are alternative sources of oil in other parts of Hyrule.
On the pair's initial meeting, Coro will fill one of Link's bottles with Lantern Oil for the price of twenty Rupees. On subsequent encounters, he will offer Link an additional Bottle, already containing oil, in return for one-hundred Rupees.
Family
Coro has two sisters named Iza and Hena. While his relationship with Iza is never elaborated upon, it seems that Hena views him rather contemptibly.[2] The trio are seen spending time together at Hena's Fishing Hole during the end credits. Aside from his siblings, Coro is also the owner of a pet bird, whom is called Trill, that runs his own shop near the Forest Temple. In terms of business, it seems that the two are in partnership—if Link takes from Trill's Shop without paying, Coro will become very angry with Trill, substantiating this.
Coro does not fear Link while he is in his wolf form, an uncommon trait among the residents of Hyrule. He shares this distinction with his sisters.
