Biography
Jakamar is a repairman who keeps many of the structures in Skyloft in shape. Before the Wing Ceremony, he can be seen fixing the gate to the Bazaar.[1] He reminds Link to save by sending his prayers to the Goddess using Bird Statues.[2] He also tells Link that if he wins the Wing Ceremony, he will be promoted to senior class, and eventually become a Rescue Knight.[3] When asked if he has seen Link's Crimson Loftwing, he tells the young hero that he saw Groose's bird chasing it.[4] He also tells Link that Groose is likely in the center of Skyloft and asks the young hero to go around through the Knight Academy to get there, since he is working on the gate.[5]
After Kukiel goes missing, he sets out to look for her.[6] After Link finds Kukiel, Jakamar thanks the young hero before mentioning that he would like to visit the Lumpy Pumpkin if he didn't have to fix Wryna's cupboard.[7]
Jakamar can later be found by the eastern windmill in Skyloft, commenting on its ability to catch the wind regardless of its direction.[8] He informs Link that it is missing its Propeller, and that it fell below the Cloud Barrier long ago,[9] but adds that he could repair it if he had the propeller, despite it being lost beneath the clouds forever.[10]
Jakamar also makes mention of Gondo's flying robot, claiming that it was said to haul junk from beneath the clouds before dismissing it.[11] If Link gets Scrapper to bring the Propeller from Eldin Volcano to him, he will be surprised that the stories of the robot were true and that it was able to return the lost Propeller before fixing the windmill.[12][13] Once the windmill has been fixed, Link can use the Gust Bellows on it to make it and the other windmill face the Light Tower, which will release a beam that guides the young hero to Thunderhead once he plays his Harp on it.
