Zubora

Zubora and Gabora are a pair of blacksmiths encountered in Majora's Mask. These smiths live in the Mountain Village, and will do any odd job. The perpetual winter of Snowhead froze their hearth, threatening their business. Link can help them by melting the ice (using Hot Spring Water or a Fire Arrow), or bringing spring back to the mountains. With their help, Link can make his sword very powerful. However, a special substance called Gold Dust is needed to make the most powerful sword. The small man is the owner and is called Zubora, and he has a very chirpy personality. The hulking Gabora, who is refered to as a "Deku Stick" by his business partner, seems to be the one who does all the forging while his superior relaxes and drinks a warm beverage. Despite his size, he doesn't seem to mind being order around constantly. Their very distinct personalities combined together make them one odd pair.

Trivia

 * In Wind Waker, the text of Phantom Ganon's sword reads "Zubora Gabora" in Hylian.
 * Gabora appears to be left-handed, since he holds his hammer in his left hand.


 * Gabora shares many similarities with Bongo Bongo from Ocarina of Time: both don't speak but grunt, Gabora wears a mask filled with straw where Bongo Bongo has no head, Gabora wears gloves where Bongo Bongo has his hands separated from his arms, and official artworks show them with the same grey color and muscular body.
