Graveyard Boy

The is a character in.

Biography
The young boy can be found in the Kakariko Village Graveyard during the day while Link is a child. He is Dampé's admiring fan. Link can sell him the Spooky Mask he obtains in the Happy Mask Shop. The boy will pay the exact amount needed for the mask.

The Graveyard Boy previously asked his father, the guard at the gate to the Death Mountain Trail, to get him a Keaton Mask. His mother is never seen, but Link can talk to her through the door of their home in Kakariko Village. During the day, she tells Link that her son is off in the Graveyard playing, and at night, she tells him that her child has gone to bed and that he should come back tomorrow.

Seven years later, when the Castle Town Market is destroyed, the boy and his family are nowhere to be found. Their house is then turned into the Bazaar.

Theory
One theory arising from the Graveyard Boy's absence after the seven years is that the little boy could have grown up to become the Poe Collector. The boy seems to have an affinity for scary things,  and both he and the Poe collector carry a stick. A counter-argument to this idea says that the boy is even younger than child Link, and yet the Poe collector seems to be an old man a mere seven years in the future; while the Poe collector never shows his face, and it is therefore impossible to tell exactly how old he is, the fact that he refers to Link as "young man" would seem to indicate that he is quite a bit older than adult Link. Furthermore, the little boy seems displeased with having a cute face and wishes he looked scarier, whereas the Poe collector admits that he is not handsome and says he might be able to run a different business if he had better looks. The little boy also does not seem to like trouble when Link attempts to move gravestones during the day, which contrasts harshly with the Poe collector's desire to see the world fall into disorder, but considering that seven years have passed, it is easily possible for the boy to have changed his attitude.
