Boy in the Graveyard

The Boy in the Graveyard is an unnamed character in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When Link is a child, the boy can be found playing in Kakariko Graveyard. When Link is an adult, the whereabouts of the boy are unknown. The character is depicted as a young child with red hair carrying a stick, and he bears a striking resemblance to the members of the Bombers Secret Society of Justice from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Biography
The Boy in the Graveyard lives in a house in Kakariko Village with his mother. Every day he goes to graveyard to play, and every night he goes home to sleep. The boy has a fascination with scary things and wishes he looked more like his idol Dampé. Because the boy cannot stay up late enough to go on "Dampé's Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour", he spends every day making up for it by patrolling the graves, mimicking his hero. The boy plays a part in the Happy Mask Salesman's side quest, whereas he buys the Spooky Mask from Link in order to fulfill his fantasy of hiding his childish face and becoming more frightening.

The Boy's mother is never seen, but Link can talk to her through the door of her home. During the day, she tells Link that her son is off in the graveyard playing and that he should go there to to see him. At night, she tells Link that her child has gone to bed and that he should come back tomorrow.

When Link is an adult, the boy and his mother have vanished from Kakariko Village, and their house has been turned into the Bazaar.

Speculation
Because the whereabouts of the boy during the adult timeline are unknown, fan theories have surfaced to help solve this. The most common theory seems to be that the boy becomes the Poe Salesman in adulthood. The boy was very interested in ghosts and the paranormal, and the Poe Salesman makes his living by collecting and selling Poes in the deserted Hyrule Castle Town. The two also both carry a stick and wave it in the same motion pattern. The final similarity is that the boy makes no appearance when Link is and adult, and the Poe Salesman makes no appearance when Link is a child.
