Cado is a character in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Breath of the Wild

Cado and Dorian are two of the guards that protect the entrance to Lady Impa's Hall within Kakariko Village. Cado wears traditional Sheikah clothing and when Link first approaches, Cado initially gives resistance to allowing Link to pass. Upon seeing the Sheikah Slate, Cado realizes who Link is and apologizes.

Cado later tells Link that they are on high alert due to the Yiga Clan recently stirring up trouble. Before Link first speaks with Impa, Cado and Dorian will remain on guard 24 hours a day, standing at the base of the staircase in front of Impa's home.

Cado works the night-shift as a guard, beginning at midnight and staying until noon. If it is before 5am, Cado will tell Link to come back later, as Impa is asleep. He suggests resting in front of the campfire nearby. At 12pm, Cado will leave his post, heading home to check on his cuccos. Here, Link can speak with Cado who is distressed that some of his Cuccos have escaped. This will begin the Flown the Coop quest. After Cado's wife left him, the cuccos were all he had left, and he pleads to Link to help get them back.

After returning all of Cado's Cuccos, he'll be thankful, enjoy watching his Cuccos. He particular enjoys feeling being able to fly while holding a Cucco.

At 5pm each day, Cado will begin making his way inside of home. He will go to bed, but even while sleeping, all he thinks about is Cuccos. Cado awakes at 11pm to make it for his night shift as a guard, but even then he hates having to leave his Cuccos behind.

Cado estranged wife is Rola, the shop keeper at The Curious Quiver, the arrow shop in town. Rola left him due to his obsession with Cuccos. Although Rola herself is obsessed with archery and wishes that Cado had that same passion.

Flown the Coop

Shortly after 12pm, Cado can be found standing right outside his home, looking at his cuccos. He is saddened that some of them are missing and asks Link for some help.

The seven remaining Cuccos are scattered about throughout the village. Each time Link brings one of them back, Cado will give Link an update on how many have returned to him. After Link is united all then of the Cuccos, Cado will be thankful and will reward Link with a Purple Rupee.

Tears of the Kingdom

Main article: Impa and the Geoglyphs

Early on, Cado can be found throughout Hyrule at various locations of the map. Wherever Link first encounters Cado, he provides the same dialogue. He had heard that Link and Zelda has gone missing, but he's delighted that Link is alive and well. Cado will encourage Link to go and speak wit Lady Impa, over at New Serenne Stable. As soon as Link speaks with Cado the first time, he will no longer appear anywhere in Hyrule, other than at New Serenne Stable. When talking to him there, he points Link in the direction of Impa, found just north of the stable. Impa is investigating Geoglyphs that have suddenly appeared across Hyrule. Talking to Cado will begin the Impa and the Geoglyphs Main Quest.

Forgotten Temple

After finding Impa and getting the first Dragon's Tear, this will begin The Dragon's Tears main quest. Impa and Cado will then depart for the Forgotten Temple. Cado can then be found at the entrance of the Forgotten Temple, where he is kneeling down by Impa's Balloon. His Donkey can be found much further down at the ground level of the Tanagar Canyon. Cado mentions that Impa has since run up ahead, deep into the Forgotten Temple. Once Cado finishes securing the balloon, he plans on catching up with her.

When Link reaches the far back room of the Forgotten Temple, he is joined by Impa and Cado. After taking a closer Look, Impa realizes the markings on the wall are the geoglyphs. Cady recognizes that all the markings on the wall are indicated on the floor map of Hyrule. Impa is exciting to go and research the remainder of the geoglyphs immediately, but Cado stops her, saying that perhaps she should rest before such a long journey. Cado will stay with Impa as Link explores the geoglyphs. He still wonders what this place is, pondering if the temple is connected to those who left the giant pictures everywhere.
