Machi is a character in Skyward Sword.[2]
Biography[]
Machi is a helpful member of the Kikwi tribe, encountered in Faron Woods. Link first finds Machi when he saves him from being attacked by a group of Bokoblins, but Machi mistakes Link for a green Bokoblin and runs away. Link then finds Machi hiding behind mushrooms and slices them away until the Kikwi hides behind a tree. When Link speaks to him, he tells the young hero that he saw a blonde girl being chased by Bokoblins and that she was running with the Kikwi elder, Bucha.[3][4] Machi then asks Link to tell Bucha that he is safe.[5]
When Link returns to the Deep Woods after completing the Skyview Temple, Machi asks if he had found his friend and thanks him for reuniting him with the other Kikwis.[6] If Link says he does not remember him, he tells Link that he can distinguish him from other Kikwis by looking at the icons on his map.[7]
Nomenclature[]
Machi's name is derived from matcha, green tea that has been pounded into a powder.
