Rolf is a character in The Minish Cap.[1]

Biography

Rolf is Romio's Canine,[1] and resides in the Guy's House in Hyrule Town, where he remains for the entirety of the game.

As soon as Link obtains the Cane of Pacci, he is able to become Minish-sized in Hyrule Town and speak with Rolf. Rolf will complain about the heat produced by the fireplace and the fact that there are more people in the House, adding to the heat.[2] He will also warn Link to be careful because he is so small, stating that not all Cats and Canines are as nice as him and that they might attack Link.[3]

After Link uses Water to put out the fire in the fireplace, Rolf will thank him and express his annoyance at Romio spending time with Julietta.[4]

Rolf is one of the potential characters to have a random Kinstone Fusion available.[5]
