???

??? is a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series. ??? is the name given to a person of unknown identity whose only visible body part is an arm. Although the only thing visible on ??? is his disembodied arm, it might well be that his body is located inside the toilet from which he sticks out his hand. He is in constant need of paper for a seemingly obvious reason.

The appearance of ???, or at least his hand, is similar to that of a Dexihand and a Floormaster from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It is doubtful that they are related in any way, however.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
??? appears at 12 a.m., midnight, on any of the three days until the morning of the following day, sticking his hand out of the toilet on the first floor of the Stock Pot Inn in East Clock Town.

When Link talks to him, he first lets out an audible moan before asking him for toilet paper, but the only paper in the game are Title Deeds, Anju's Letter to Kafei, and Kafei's Letter to Mama. Once he is given any of these pieces of paper, ??? withdraws into the toilet, and after stating his "relief", he gives Link a Piece of Heart that was dropped into the toilet. Upon repetition, Link will be given a Blue Rupee instead. However, once Link gives ??? paper, the paper can not be taken back, and Link will have to redo certain parts of the sidequests for which the item was needed.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
??? can be found in the lavatory located in western Lynna Village in the Past, and again requires paper. As part of the game's trading quest, if ??? is given the Stationery, he will give Link a Stink Bag in return, which has odorous properties necessary in order to clear the sinuses of a Tokay who is sick.

??? can be interacted with in numerous ways by throwing various items into his hole:


 * 1 Since Link throws Gale Seeds directly at him, this requires a little trick: After talking or otherwise interacting with ???, he will shortly descend, allowing you to jump over his hole (or just walk into it) and drop a Gale Seed.
 * 2 This will cause a short quake in the entire room before his dialogue starts.
 * 3 ??? will say "???" before the quake starts, and then say his regular bomb line.
 * 4 This also requires throwing with the Power Bracelet or the Power Glove, since the block just vanishes when pushed towards a hole.
