Ghost (Majora's Mask)
"They", according to Romani, refers to the rather strange ghosts[1] that come to invade the barn of Romani Ranch to abduct their rare, precious Romani-bred cows, which they inherited from their father. They resemble ghostly, glowing aliens, and are quite similar to Poes. According to Romani, they come at night every year when The Carnival of Time approaches. It seems aliens have an interest in rare cows with the ability to produce a fine milk and it's up to you to save the ranch from a possible invasion. If Link fails to save the cows on the first night they will abduct Romani, leaving Cremia, Romani's sister, saddened. On the second day, the ghosts will return Romani with all her memories of their existence removed, with obvious side effects on her personality.
Speculation has led many to suspect the Gorman Brothers are somehow involved in all this which is pretty believable considering the trouble they are causing lately. However, as they are capable of wiping Romani's memories (something the Gorman Brothers don't seem to be capable of), and also taking into consideration the sheer way in which the cows are abducted, it is also likely their interest in the cows is a complete coincidence.
Notes
- It is possible to ride into the ranch partway into the invasion and still save the ranch, but this can be quite difficult, impossible without Epona's or Goron rolling speed. It is estimated that the latest time of arrival is 3am, if the ranch is still to be saved, and it is confirmed that 5am is too late.
- The way Them steal cows may also be a joke as how stereotypical aliens steal cows.
