Marathon Man
From Zelda Wiki.org
(Redirected from Running Man)
The Marathon Man is a character in Ocarina of Time. He runs around Hyrule Field when you are young Link, and you can sell him a Bunny Hood.
As adult Link, you can meet him in Gerudo Valley in the carpenters tent. He will challenge you to a race from the tent to the bridge outside the Kokiri Forest. No matter how fast you are, he will always beat you with a second though your fastest time will be recorded in Link's House in Kokiri Forest. Not even with a gameshark is it possible.
Myths
-You can beat the Marathon Man in Ocinara of Time if (as young Link) blow up bombs in front of him while he is running. FALSE!
Trivia
- The Marathon Man is the Hyrulean counterpart of the Termina Postman from Majora's Mask.
- In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario had to race a masked man named Il Piantissimo. Under his mask is the face of the Marathon Man[1].
