Ricky is first encountered in the forests east of Lynna City when Link is searching for a Sea Chart for Rafton. He has lost his gloves and asks Link to find them. He can find them by digging up some rubble next to a tree on the beaches of the mainland. After he receives his gloves back, he helps Link climb up to the cliff where Tingle is located. He gives Link the sea chart, and Ricky, finding Tingle annoying, heads off. If Link wins a Strange Flute in Lynna Village's Shooting Gallery before entering the Nuun Highlands, Ricky will join him and give him his flute.
