Postman

Many different people with the name Postman can be found in the The Legend of Zelda series. Although different, all the postmen are very dedicated and usually can run faster than most people in the game.

The first Postman appeared in Majora's Mask. He was the Terminan counterpart of the Running Man in Ocarina of Time. Since then, a lot more people have appeared in the The Legend of Zelda series with the title Postman.

A common attribute of all the Postmen (and the Running Man) is an image of a rabbit. The Running Man bought the Bunny Hood from Link and wore it from then on. All Postmen have the image of a rabbit on their hat and flag.

Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, the Postman is a very concentrated fellow, who takes his job very seriously. He won't stop to chat when there's mail to be delivered; he won't even leave Termina (despite the fact that the Moon is going to destroy it) unless he's been given explicit permission. He spends his free time counting and trying to stop exactly on ten seconds, an activity that he will gladly invite Link to join him on (with a reward at the end, of course).

Oracle of Ages
In Oracle of Ages the Postman lives in past Labrynna and participates in the trading sequence. He will give Link the Stationary if he gives him the Poe Clock.

The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, the Rito are the postmen of the Great Sea. One Rito, Koboli, bears a resemblance to the Postman from previous games. It is hypothesized that he may be related to the various human postmen of other games, as, apart from what his looks suggest, his figurine also suggests his ancestors were postmen.

The Minish Cap
The Postman returns in The Minish Cap. In that game, he runs around delivering letters. He will occasionally be prepared to fuse Kinstones with Link. In addition, he has two helpers in the Post Office that help him out. Stamp works hard by addressing and sorting letters. Marcy doesn't work as hard and sells the Swordsman Newsletter, a magazine that provides useful information for swordsmen.

Twilight Princess
In Twilight Princess, the Postman deliver the mail once again. This time, he delivers to Link directly (provided he is in Hyrule Field), without the aid of mailboxes. He is much more comically depicted in this game than in earlier games. He breathes very oddly when running and hums several bars of a victory song after he finishes delivering a letter. However, he, like all Postmen still takes his job very seriously.

When not delivering mail, the Postman can be seen in various places around Hyrule. He's seen in Ordon Ranch feeding a letter to the goats and in Zora's Domain behind the throne trying to identify the "Mr. Zora". He is yet again seen in Telma's bar deciding what to order, he is in the Elde Inn drying off a letter he dropped in the hot spring. and even been spotted crouched on a wooden bridge in Plumm's mini-game. The last place he is known to be found is on floor forty-nine in the Cave of Ordeals after it has been cleared at least once. He tells Link that whatever he is looking for, is not down there.

The Postman of this game possesses many mysterious qualities. He may somehow be able to recognize Link while he is in wolf form, as he will call out Link's name to grab his attention if he has a letter for him, regardless if Link is in Hylian form or wolf form. Not only that, but he is somehow able to get down to the bottom of the Cave of Ordeals, something even Link has difficulty doing.

Phantom Hourglass
A new Postman appears in this game. This new Postman seems to mix the appearance of the Postman from previous games and Koboli, the Postman from The Wind Waker. Although he appears to be human, he has wings and flies around, instead of running, like a Rito. He is first discovered on Cannon Island.

An unusual trait of this Postman is that he never once sets foot on the ground for the entire course of the game, preferring to stay on top of the various mailboxes he lands on. Another trait of this Postman is his tendency to read Link's letters aloud instead of letting Link read for himself. This Postman never once gives Link any of his letters, merely reading it to him and occasionally asking him to sign, before taking it away.

Unlike other games, this Postman is only seen when delivering mail to Link. Otherwise, he is nowhere to be found.
