Biography

Oracle of Seasons

InOracle of Seasons, Link will eventually have to venture intoSpool Swamp for the nextEssence of Nature after completing theSnake's Remains dungeon. During this time, Link can find and acquire aStrange Flute. One of the Strange Flutes can be acquired by winning a dance round in theSubrosian Dance Hall, yet only before Link helps Ricky theKangaroo. While heading into Spool Swamp, Link will encounter one of the potential animal helpers, Ricky.Blaino, who lives nearby, has taken away Ricky'sboxing gloves, and Link must fight him in a boxing round and defeat him to win back the gloves. When the gloves are returned, Ricky will offer to help Link by transporting him to Spool Swamp.

If Link has won the Strange Flute from the Subrosian Dance Hall earlier, he will eventually encounter Dimitri being attacked by theGreat Moblin's henchmen.^[6] Link pays the henchmen 50Rupees and another 30 Rupees to leave Dimitri alone.^[7][8] Dimitri then thanks Link and joins him, turning the Strange Flute into Dimitri's Flute.^[9]

If Link hasRicky's Flute orMoosh's Flute, he will encounter Dimitri inSunken City. Link finds a group of children harassing Dimitri, claiming to be the Safety Patrol. By giving one of the children all of theBombs that Link has, the children will flee. As thanks, Dimitri will temporarily join Link and allow him to ride him, which is necessary to maneuver the flooded city until Link gets theZora's Flippers.^[10] The city has a couple of waterfalls which only Dimitri can climb. One of the waterfalls leads to theMaster Diver who will test Link in getting theMaster's Plaque, with the reward being the Zora's Flippers. Shortly after Dimitri will leave.^[11] Link can find the Safety Patrol later talking about Dimitri, considering him as a patrol member.^[12]

If Link does have Dimitri's Flute however, all Link needs to do is call Dimitri into the city rather than saving him from the city's children.

Oracle of Ages

InOracle of Ages, Link first encounters Dimitri washed ashore onCrescent Island after completing theMoonlit Grotto. TwoTokay are hustling around Dimitri, planning on eating him.^[13] The Tokay propose giving Dimitri to Link forEmber Seeds. They run off after tasting its intense flavor. After Link saves him, Dimitri offers to take him where he wants to go.^[14] After taking Link back to Labrynna's mainland, Dimitri leaves.

When Link tries to later venture intoSymmetry City, he will encounter theFairies from theFairies' Woods, who ask Link to help an animal who got lost in their woods. The animal will either be Moosh, Ricky or Dimitri depending on whether Link has any of the Strange Flutes or not. Dimitri will be one of the animals if Link bought the Strange Flute from the shop inLynna City.^[15] If Dimitri is found, he will decide to join Link and gives him his flute. Dimitri's swimming ability is used in theNuun Highlands, which helps Link locate the three lazyCarpenters needed to extend the bridge to the ruined city.^[16] Dimitri, however, will not accompany Link to the city as he cannot withstand the high temperatures.^[17]

Trivia

• Despite being a Dodongo, Dimitri's abilities have little in common with the rest of his species, being at home in aquatic environments and seeming to have a much lower heat tolerance, as shown if Link tries to enter the ruins of Symmetry City on his back. He also never displays any ability to breathe fire and is the only known Dodongo to have speech capabilities.
• Prior to May 1, 2019, the official website forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate used a different icon for Dimitri than the icon used in-game. The version used on the official site focused on Dimitri whereas the in-game icon focuses on both Dimitri and Link.
