Biography

Kass is a minstrel who travels Hyrule and sings the legends of the areas he visits whilst accompanying himself on accordion.[1][2] When Link first meets Kass he introduces him self as a wandering minstrel, with a love for song he travels the lands learning songs from far and wide. Learning songs passed down within each region of Hyrule he will offer to play songs passed in the area Link encounters him in, the lyrics of said songs containing clues on how to unlock nearby hidden secrets.

Songs

The Crowned Beast

Location: Rabia Plain
"A beast that wears a crown of bone,
Prancing through the lush green.
Mount the beast upon its throne,
For only then the shrine is seen."

Meaning: By mounting a nearby wild male deer and walking it to the platform where Kass is playing, a shrine will appear.

The Hero's Cache

Location: Kitano Bay
"An ancient hero spoke these words:
'One Day I'll return to fight evil.
My cache is at 17 of 24,
This rock will point toward its retrieval.'"

Meaning:

Dragons Mouth

Location: Zonai Ruins
"Where the dragon's mouth meets the serpent's jaws
A shrine sleeps in the forest with noble cause."

Meaning: Following the Dracozu River north into Damel Forest, the river ends in the shape of a serpent's head. At the end of the clearing, a dragon skull forms a cave. Inside is the Spring of Courage. By placing a scale of Farosh the Dragon, acquired by simply firing an arrow at him while flying through the sky, into the spring players can access a hidden shrine behind the statue of the Goddess Hylia.

A Song of Storms

Location: Calora Lake
"When a lost hero calls down lightning from the sky
The monk responds from a giant mound on high."

Meaning: Atop the hill southeast of Calora Lake sits a veiny mound concealing a Shrine. A metal object left atop the mound will attract lightning, causing the mound to shatter and reveal the Qukah Nata Shrine.

Master of The Wind

Location: Horon Lagoon
"He breaks the rocks that serve to bind,
Above the tempestuous bay.
On wings of cloth and wood entwined,
He lands on the altar to open the way."

Meaning:

Etymology

Kass is potentially derived from cassowary, a type of large, flightless bird.
