Carpenter

The Carpenters are recurring characters in.

Ocarina of Time
In, the Carpenters can be first seen working on a building in Kakariko Village, which later becomes the Shooting Gallery. They are hired by Impa, who hopes the village will someday become a city.

Seven years later, the Carpenters set up a tent in Gerudo Valley in order to restore the bridge that the Gerudo destroyed to ward off intruders. However, Mutoh is the only one remaining as his employees have all abandoned him to join the Gerudos as thieves. The female bandits reject the Carpenters and hold them prisoner in separate cells throughout their fortress. Once Link frees them all, the Carpenters rebuild the bridge in Gerudo Valley.

The name of the Carpenters is decided depending on the order which they are rescued. The first one is named Ichiro, the second Jiro, the third Sabooro, and the fourth Shiro.

Majora's Mask
In, the Carpenters are part of the Clock Town Carnival Executive Committee, which is in charge of constructing the fireworks-viewing tower for the Carnival of Time. During the first two days, Mutoh is in the Mayor's Residence while the other Carpenters work in South Clock Town. During the night of the Final Day, Mutoh is the only remaining Carpenter in town, mocking the Moon above. He indicates that he has some sons who have already fled the town.

The Carpenter with the green shorts is Brac and the Carpenter with the lumber is Bremor.

Oracle of Ages
In, Mutoh can be found in Nuun Highlands next to the bridge leading to the Symmetry City Ruins. He and the other Carpenter were building the bridge when they decided to take a break. Once Link finds the three Carpenters around the area with the help of an animal companion, they finish building the bridge.

The Minish Cap
In, Mutoh's carpenters are first seen in North Hyrule Field, repairing damage done by Vaati, which prevents Link from entering Hyrule Town. They are then found in the Eastern Hills, blocking the path to Lon Lon Ranch. After completing Mt. Crenel, they can be found working in a building with a waterwheel in Hyrule Town. Link can then fuse Kinstones with them. Fusing with Bremor after finding a house for either Din, Nayru, or Farore will cause them to build a house for another Oracle.

Bremor has a two spikes hairstyle and wears green trousers, Brent has devilock and wears white trousers, Doyle has flattop and wears pink trousers, and Mack has an afro cut and wears blue trousers.

Nomenclature
Ichiro, Jiro, Sabooro, and Shiro are common names to give to sons in Japan. The "-rō" part being a male ending that means "son" and "ichi" and "ji" being the numbers "one," "two," and on. This and the fact that their Japanese names translate to first through fourth son, indicates that the Carpenters may be brothers. This is also why the Bolson Construction Company, of all have their names end in "son" as company policy: it's very clearly an homage to the carpenters of former Zelda titles.

Trivia

 * In Ocarina of Time, one of the Carpenters rescued from the Gerudo's Fortress shares his name with Shiro, the invisible Soldier in the path to Ikana Canyon from Majora's Mask.
 * In the Japanese version of Ocarina of Time, all of the Carpenters use female first person pronouns like and .  They also have a tendency to end their sentences with the particle, which is usually only used by women to express emphasis or emotion. Jiro also calls Link a "" when he is rescued from the Gerudos.
 * Brac's name is likely the result of a misinterpretation during localization. In Japanese, no name is mentioned, but it is possible that the localization team mistook the word as a name, and thus created an English alternative.
 * In The Minish Cap, the names of the Carpenters are similar to the Cobble Knights, being Bremeur, Brant, Doylan, and Max, which might explain King Mutoh's name.
 * While wearing Kafei's Mask in "Majora's Mask", Mutoh's apprentice reacts in a violently angry way. He implies that he has feelings for Anju and wishes for Kafei to remain missing.

Nomenclature
The German names of the Carpenters in Ocarina of Time and The Minish Cap are a reference to, with each Carpenter sharing their name with one of the four members, John, Paul, George, and Ringo. However, in, the names were changed.
