"Dazzle Lyphos is this town's hero. You don't know him?! There's a statue of him north of the town. To protect the town from its enemies he fought... ...and died... Truly heroic, right? He was a real man!"

— Armorer

Dazzle Lyphos is a character from Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. He is not alive during the events of the game, but he is a legendary figure who was once the protector of Port Town. He died while saving the town from danger and became a historical figure. The residents of Port Town constructed a grand monument for the hero where the entrance to his underground vault, the Hero's Shrine, was located.

When Tingle is exploring Auros Ruins, he finds the skeleton of Dazzle Lyphos, revealing that the Dazzle Lyphos myth is exaggerated.

Interestingly, if Tingle finds Dazzle Lyphos' sword, he can sell it to the Armorer for a large sum of Rupees.
