Zauz

Zauz is a character in Phantom Hourglass.

Role in the game
Zauz is the blacksmith who helps Link by forging the Phantom Sword used to defeat Bellum. The Phantom Sword is made of three different pure metals, Aquanine, Azurine and Crimsonine, that Link must collect by befriending the island natives and delving through their respective temples. Zauz tells Link to return in time, as the forging of the Phantom Sword is a lengthy process. Luckily for Link, he receives a letter from Jolene that challenges him to one final duel on the open ocean. After Link defeats Jolene one last time, Zauz will have finished the sword upon returning to the island.

He provides Link a secret that proves to help him navigate further into the Temple of the Ocean King as well: by drawing an ancient symbol on a particular red door on one of the temple's many levels, he will be able to access an entirely different temple floor, and by extension, the remaining two sea charts.

Race
When Zauz first speaks to Ciela, he indicates that he is not human; later dialog suggests he is of the Cobble race, which defended the Ocean King. He shares dark skin and a large, oddly-colored nose, with King Mutoh and his Knights. Zauz also has a large purple tattoo running over his shoulder similar to that of Baito.

Trivia

 * Zauz looks similar to Baito, the Postman's assistant from : both have auburn hair, are bare-chested, wear shorts, and boast tribal tattoos. He also looks strikingly similar to Ganondorf, which caused many people to think he was the Evil King upon meeting him for the first time.
