Biography
After the completion of Angler's Tunnel, Link finds himself haunted by a strange ghost, who asks the hero to take it to its home. While the Nostalgic Ghost follows Link, he cannot enter any dungeons and is thus unable to complete the game until he aids the ghost. With no choice, Link travels south, to the Toronbo Shores, and finds a dilapidated house. The ghost examines the house in which it had lived when it was alive and finds it to be unchanged from the way it remembered it to be. It then asks Link to bring it back to its grave to the north of Koholint Prairie. As they approach the grave, the ghost thanks Link for aiding him and tells him to return to the house and search underneath one of the pots to find a reward; this being a Mysterious Shell. It then returns to its grave to continue its sleep, allowing Link to continue his quest to retrieve the Instruments of the Sirens.

Subsequently, Link can sprinkle Magic Powder on its gravestone; this will anger the ghost, who asks him to cease his mischief or suffer the effects of a curse. Despite this, however, the ghost will not actually put a curse on Link, no matter how many times Magic Powder is sprinkled on its gravestone.
