Garo Robe

"R-regrettable... Although my rival, you were spectacular. I shall take my bow by opening my heart and revealing my wisdom... Belief or disbelief rests with you. To die without leaving a corpse... That is the way of us Garo."

The Garo (ガロ) are a race of people long dead that lived in an unknown country outside of Termina. In life, the Garo were long time enemies of the Ikana, and the Stalfos (whom are also undead), and in the afterlife, their rivalry continues, as Garo Ninjas clashed even after becoming extinct. The warriors of the Garo, Garo Ninjas, are swift assailants, and even to this day spy on the deserted Ikana Castle, not realizing that they are dead.

To speak to a Garo, one must wear the Garo Mask. However, the Garo Ninja will attack the impostor. Defeat of a Ninja is rewarded with a bit of information before the Ninja disappears.

Garo also have the power to see the player while wearing the stone mask.

The leader of the Garo is the Garo Master, who Link defeats in the Stone Tower Temple. For defeating the Garo Master, Link is rewarded with the Light Arrows.

It is unknown as to the true origin of the Garo. Some believe them to be related to, if not the same as, Subrosians due to resemblance.

Trivia

 * The Poe Salesman bears a fair resemblance to the Garo Ninjas, although he wears purple and has a single, red eye instead of two green ones.
 * Although they appear to be humans with cloaks, Pamela's father in the Musical House claims Garo are empty shells, animated by willpower. This is confirmed when the Garo leave Ikana Canyon with the rest of the ghosts.
