Error

Template:Character Error is a citizen of the Town of Ruto in The Adventure of Link.

Biography

At first, Error only introduces himself when talked to, but after Link meets a second man in the Harbor Town of Mido and is encouraged to ask Error about how to get to the Island Palace, Error will tell Link about the passage to the palace south of the king's tomb.

The sprite design for Error is used for characters in other towns who can sometimes be similarly unhelpful, although a few of them give Link very useful hints about using the Fire Spell or finding the Three-Eye Rock Palace.
