Baito

Template:Character Baito is the name of the mail service employee in The Wind Waker. Baito has tribal tattoos on his body, notably one on his back that resemble an Eye Symbol.

Biography

The first meeting with Baito is when he is trying to apply for the Letter Sorting job, wandering around Dragon Roost Island after Link achieved the Dragon Roost Cavern. He is eventually hired at the Island Postal Service after Koboli, impressed by Link's contribution to the mail sorting, decided to hire a permanent assistant. In addition to his regular duties, he will allow Link to sort letters as a mini-game, where the young hero is challenged to sort at least 25 letters.

Note to Mom

When Link wins the minigame, Baito will ask him to put a letter in the mail to his mother talking about how great Link is. This letter is the Note to Mom. Some time after sending the letter, Link will receive a reply from Baito's mother, whose name is Kashiko, with a Piece of Heart inside. Due to Link's impressive mail-sorting abilities, Baito will compliment Link and praise him with any opportunity he gets.
