Biography[]
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
Colin was born to Rusl and Uli in Ordon Village and Uli made a Cradle for him which she kept and cherished after Colin grew out of it. While not much is known about his childhood and upbringing, Colin is shown to be a good friend of Link's. However, the other children of the village often tease him for his timid behavior.
He is first seen being teased by Malo and Talo, the two other boys residing in Ordon Village. When Link appears, however, they stop. Colin tells Link that he has made a Fishing Rod for him. However, shortly after Link uses it for the first time, Colin and the other children are kidnapped by King Bulblin and his raiders. Link goes on a quest to rescue Colin and the children, which eventually sends him on a much larger, nobler quest. Link manages to find Colin, Beth, Malo, and Talo in Kakariko Village under the care of Renado. However, they are once again attacked by Bulblins. The leader of the Bulblins, King Bulblin, rides full speed towards Beth, intending to trample her with his steed, Lord Bullbo. However, Colin shoves her out of the way and is once more captured by the Bulblins. Link rides after King Bulblin, and confronts him on the Bridge of Eldin. Here, he manages to defeat him in a joust.
Colin is freed, but has sustained injuries during the incident. Colin is confined to a bed in the Elde Inn in Kakariko, where Beth and Renado's daughter, Luda, take care of him, much to the chagrin of Colin, as they refuse to leave him alone and make a large fuss over him. After his brave deed, he gains the respect of the children, particularly Beth. At the end of the game, Colin can be seen carrying an Ordon Sword and Wooden Shield.
