Mamamu Yan

Mamamu Yan is a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series. She is a sassy dog enthusiast, featured in many games as seemingly unrelated characters. She usually cares most about showing off herself and her dogs, but in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, she learns the error of her ways.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
As a child, Link first meets Mamamu Yan in the main square of Hyrule Castle Town where she is happily playing with her dog, Richard. She gloats about how great Richard is, and she seems to have an arrogant personality. If Link enters her flat in the back alley at night, she requests that he find her pooch, who is somewhere in the town. If Link brings Richard back to her, she rewards him with a Piece of Heart.

Seven years later, Mamamu Yan is one of the few citizens of Castle Town to have escaped the destruction of the town. She fled to Kakariko Village and lives in the home of the kind woman with brown hair and a red shirt. Although her dog is now deceased, she seems to have a much kinder and more generous outlook on life. During the end credits, she can be seen celebrating at Lon Lon Ranch with the other Hyrulean citizens.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Mamamu Yan lives on Romani Ranch, where she runs a successful doggy racetrack. Her love of dogs has expanded to more than just one, unlike her appearance in Ocarina of Time, but her personality remains unchanged from Castle Town in Ocarina of Time. Link has the opportunity to bet on dog races, choosing the dog he thinks will win. Wearing the Mask of Truth allows link to see how the dogs are feeling. The one that feels the best about the race usually wins. If Link bets more than 150 rupees and wins, he will receive a Piece of Heart as a reward.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Mamamu Yan lives in Lynna City with her dog. Her dog, however, is shy, and so she asks Link to find a mask. After presenting her with the Doggie Mask she gives him a Dumbbell.
