Mikau

Mikau is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Mikau was a Zora who was born in Termina. He was the guitarist for the band The Indigo-Gos, but died while trying to save the eggs of his fellow bandmember, Lulu.

Biography
Mikau was terribly wounded when he went to the Pirate's Fortress to take back Lulu's eggs. Link, the Hero of Time, noticed several seagulls floating over the water, and found Mikau floating around limply. Mikau weakly pled to Link to help him get to shore.

On the shore, Mikau tried to get up and walk, but collapsed, and felt his end was near. He introduced himself to Link and asked if the hero would listen to his final message. After Link agreed, Mikau (quite humourosly) took out his guitar and sang what had happened to him, along with telling about a climate change that could spell doom for the other Zoras. The last lyric he sung mirrored the request which Darmani the Third had made to Link earlier. "Somebody, please rescue her eggs before the pirates take their toll. Oh, somebody, somebody, please heal my soul."

Link, understanding his plight, played the Song of Healing for Mikau on his ocarina. In a dream-like scene, Mikau reunited with his fellow bandmembers one last time as his spirit left his body. The body then also disappeared in a faint blue light, leaving only the Zora Mask behind, which contained his soul. Link took the mask, which transformed him into Zora Link. Link then takes on the appearence of a combination of Mikau and himself.

Mikau appeared one last time before Link, as his spirit asked Link to carve his farewell song onto his grave. Link promised Mikau to help Lulu in his place, and to save the Zoras from the coming evil.

It is hinted that Mikau was romantically involved with Lulu, and could perhaps be the father of her children, as she initially doesn't want to tell him that the Gerudo pirates took her eggs. This is also supported by the fact that he is so determined to get the eggs.

Trivia

 * The Jackson Guitar company created ten custom-made Jackson Zoraxe guitars based on Mikau's in-game guitar.
 * Interestingly, even though Mikau was supposed to be dead, he somehow returns in the ending credits when he and the rest of the Indigo-gos are performing at the Milk Bar. (Then again, considering how it has Zora Link's markings, it could have easily been Link disguised as Mikau, but on the other hand, Link was already well on his way back towards the Lost Woods by the time that took place.) It is possible that Link somehow restored his soul to his body(possibly through the song of healing).
