Evan
Evan is a character in Majora's Mask.[2]
Biography
Evan is the pianist, songwriter, and leader of the Zora band The Indigo-Go's.[3][4][5] When Lulu, the singer of the band, loses her voice due to her eggs, she goes to see Evan about it. He recommends her that she take the eggs to the Marine Research Lab to have them checked.[1] However, when he finds out that Lulu's eggs were stolen by the Gerudo Pirates, he charges Mikau, the guitarist, with the task of retrieving them from the thieving women, since getting those eggs back are the only way to restore Lulu's voice.[6] Furthermore, he informs the guitarist where he can find empty Bottles and recommends going to talk to the Beaver Bros. atop the Waterfall Rapids before heading to the Pirates' Fortress to recover the eggs.[7] Evan decides to keep Lulu's problem a secret from the rest of the band members so as to not crush their hopes of performing on the day of the Carnival of Time.[8]
Evan gets upset when he learns that Mikau and Japas are writing music on their own and refuses to hear anything they have composed together.[5] However, if Link enters his room and plays him the song that Mikau and Japas composed, he will gladly use it for The Indigo-Go's next show and award the young hero with a Piece of Heart.[9] This is the same song that is played during the Band Rehearsal as well as their eventual performance in the Carnival of Time.
Evan plays the ending theme from The Legend of Zelda upon entering his room. He is last seen during the ending credits where he and the rest of the band members are performing at the Milk Bar for the carnival.
