Template:Character Guru-Guru, also known as the Windmill Man, is a recurring character in Template:LZS.
Appearances
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, the Windmill Man stands inside the Kakariko Windmill playing his Phonograph.[1] If adult Link pulls out his Template:It in front of him, he will teach Link the "Song of Storms."[2] If young Link plays the song inside the windmill, it will start spinning really fast,[3] draining Kakariko's well and opening the way to the Bottom of the Well.
Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, Guru-Guru is the Gorman Troupe's musician.[4] Guru-Guru is seen at night in the Laundry Pool area of Clock Town playing his Phonograph since he has been kicked out of his room for practicing too loud.[5] He is usually a happy person, and long ago was a member of an animal troupe. However, he was jealous of the dog being the leader of the troupe, who could always get any animal to follow his command.[6][7] As such, Guru-Guru stole the dog's mask, called the Bremen Mask.[8] He gives Link the mask as a reward for listening to his story and to get rid of his guilt.[9][10]
He also appears during the day in the Stock Pot Inn in the room at the end of the hall.
Oracle of Seasons
In Oracle of Seasons, Guru-Guru is located in the Eastern Suburbs. He can be found standing by his windmill playing his Phonograph, wanting to oil the windmill to make it go faster.[11] Link can give him the Engine Grease in exchange for his Phonograph.[12] This will make the windmill go faster.[13]
Etymology
His name is a Japanese onomatopoeia for "turning round and round, going around in circles," which also happens to be Guru-Guru's favorite expression in Ocarina of Time.[14]
