Template:Character Baito is a recurring character in Template:LZS.
Biography
Ocarina of Time
Baito appears as a nameless man looking at Death Mountain on a roof in Kakariko Village in Ocarina of Time. He gives Link a Piece of Heart when Link talks to him after the young hero manages to get on the roof by using the Hookshot.[1]
Majora's Mask
Baito appears as a nameless part-time employee in Majora's Mask. He can be seen working at the Trading Post after 10 p.m., but is also found during the day in Termina Field trying to catch three Red Rupees on a Tree near the Astral Observatory. If Link rolls into the Tree, Baito will fall and hit the ground, dropping the three Rupees and claiming that he stole it from a crow.[2]
When the Man from Trading Post leaves (presumably to work at the Curiosity Shop), he leaves the Trading Post in the care of Baito. Baito has no interest in his job, committing little effort into memorizing the stock or behaving cordially to patrons.[3] However, he is very susceptible to Masks: if Link wears the Zora Mask, Baito mistakes Zora Link for Mikau and states that he too is in a band,[4] he also claims that he wants to attend The Indigo-Go's concert in the Milk Bar during the Carnival of Time.[5] When Link wears the Deku Mask, he ignores Deku Link.[6] When he wears the Stone Mask, Baito wonders why the Trading Post has so much money if business is so slow.[7] When Link wears the Couple's Mask, he will show a desire to find a girlfriend and get married.[8] When Link wears the Postman's Hat, he says how he entered a contest for some concert tickets and is wondering if he's there to deliver them.[9]
The Wind Waker
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, decides 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,[10] 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.
Trivia
- Baito has tribal tattoos on his body, notably one on his back that resemble an Eye Symbol.
- Zauz from Phantom Hourglass, who distinguishes himself in the game as a Cobble descendant, has a look nearly similar to that of Baito: both have auburn hair, are bare-chested, wear shorts, and boast tribal tattoos.
