Shibo is a character from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
Shibo can be found at the Dueling Peaks Stable alongside his older twin brother, Darton. They do everything together and during the daytime, they are found just outside the stable, right by the horses. Link can speak with Darton or Shibo and they will both respond to him. They can see it in Link's eyes that he loves horses and they offer to give Link some tips on them.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Darton and Shibo will both provide some tips to Link on how he can catch a horse.[7][8] The duo will also teach Link about the difference between spotted horses and one-colored horses. With spotted horses being even-tempered and easy to train, while the one-colored horses are wilder, but have much higher stats. Shibo recommends that beginners should start with spotted horses.[9][10][11][12] The brothers will also teach Link how to train a horse and when the appropriate time to soothe them is.[13][14][15]
Unlike some of the other residents of the Dueling Peaks Stable, Shibo and his brother are not effecting by the rain. Even while it is raining, the twins will stay outside, interacting with the horses. They will remain outside all day long, only coming in at 8pm when they are both sleepy.[16][17] They will sleep at the Stable until 6am, where they both awake at the same time. While asleep, Shibo will dream about spotted horses.[18] Once he awakes, Shibo will try to race Darton to where the horses are and will celebrate if he beats him there.[19][20]
Strangely, there is no animation for either Shibo or Darton to get into bed. They will simply walk over and stand right next to the bed. They will just wait there and if Link keeps them in view, or never leaves the stable, the two will just stand there. Once Link walks away and then looks back, Shibo will be asleep. When they awake, however, there is an animation to get out of bed. Additionally, sometimes Beedle will walk in the Stable on rainy days, blocking the entrance. On these days, Shibo and Darton might be unable to enter and will simply walk around for hours on end until they can get in or Beedle moves.
Tears of the Kingdom
Darton and his twin brother Shibo can be found walking around at the Dueling Peaks Stable. While Darton is drawing some footprints in the ground, Shibo welcomes Link to the stable.[21][22][23][24][25] The two brothers traveled to Faron at some point and saw some strange footprints, but noboody believes them.[26]
Link comments to the brothers that the footprints are real and they belong to Dondon.[27][28] The two brothers are so happy to hear the truth and thank Link for providing this information to them.[29] Darton wants to draw a picture of the Dondon, remembering its really long tusks and its tail.[30][31][32] Just as they finish, Shibo comments that he wants to show it to his father.[33] The brother then give Link the picture, along with a reward of a Swift Carrot[34][35][36] They mentioned that they saved up rupees and bought the Swift Carrot from Kakariko Village.[37] The brothers feed the carrots to the horses when trying to tame them.
At 5pm each evening, Shibo and Darton will head inside the stable.[38][39] The two are still talking about the Dondon's, and in particular their appearance and the footprints that were washed away by the rain.[40][41][42][43] The two brothers will head to sleep each evening at 9pm.[44]
