Zanc is a character in Skyward Sword.[1]
Biography[]
Zanc is a brown-haired Mogma who is initially found right before the retracted bridge where Impa is briefly seen. He proclaims in shock when Link arrives after just having seen another Human dressed in black.[2]
Zanc can also be found in the same Cave as the Thrill Digger minigame. For a fee of 20 Rupees, he will give Link "top-secret info."[3] After payment, Zanc will give Link advice on playing the minigame. He says that there are no bad holes around a Green Rupee, one or two bad holes around a Blue Rupee, three or four bad holes around a Red Rupee, five of six bad holes around a Silver Rupee, and seven of eight bad holes around a Gold Rupee.[4] Despite the claim that this information is "top-secret," it can be found on the wall near the entrance of the Cave.
Nomenclature[]
Zanc's name is derived from the mineral zinc. In other languages, his name is derived from crystal.
