Gorko

Gorko is a traveling archaeologist, who traverses the surface studying the history of the land and various devices, attempting to discern the history behind the ancient civilization. Link saves him from some Bokoblins in Faron Woods, presumeably their first meeting, and later he seems to explain to Link how to use the Goddess Cubes. He will likely be encountered many times throughout Skyward Sword as Link travels to various areas.
