Anju


 * Not to be confused with Cucco Lady.

is a recurring character in.

In, Anju is the inn keeper at the Stock Pot Inn and the best friend of Cremia, the owner of Romani Ranch. She is engaged to Kafei, Mayor Dotour's son, and they plan to have their wedding on the day of the Carnival of Time. However, certain circumstances have caused Anju to start doubting her fiancé. Although her father, Tortus, has passed away, her mother and grandmother live with her in the inn. She is one of the characters in the game with an entry in the Bombers' Notebook.

Anju is portrayed as apologizing quite often and appears somewhat nervous. She is not very good at cooking and, according to Kafei's Diary, tends to leave things until the last minute. She also seems to have trouble remembering customers' faces, which can cause her to deliver reservations to the wrong person.

Reuniting Kafei and Anju
The Anju and Kafei sidequest is the only sidequest in the Bombers' Notebook that takes an entire 3-day cycle. When they were children, Anju and Kafei promised to marry each other on the day of the Carnival of Time, exchanging the Sun's and Moon's Masks during the event. However, Kafei disappeared with his wedding ceremony mask one month before the wedding. After he was turned into a child by the Skull Kid, his Sun Mask was stolen by Sakon as he was on his way to see the Great Fairy about his desperate situation. Despite Kafei's terrible fate, Anju does not know what has become of him or why he disappeared. She is afraid to meet his fiance and hear the reason as to why he escaped, for she fears his disappearance might have been because of her.

Anju's Mother puts ideas into Anju's head that her fiancé might have run off with her best friend Cremia, who actually has a crush on Kafei. Since Cremia needs strength from a partner and business support from Kafei's mother Madame Aroma to run Romani Ranch, Kafei running off with the ranch owner would allow her to have the stability she needs.

When Link intervenes to help reunite Kafei and Anju, the young hero meets with the inn keeper in the kitchen at her request. She then asks him to deliver a letter to the Mailbox in her stead, hoping to get a description of her fiancé if Link is to meet with him. Anju is too afraid to do this on her own, so she tells Link to pass on the message that Anju is waiting for him.

Link meets Kafei, who explains his situation and hands over his pendant to him. Once Link delivers the pendant to Anju, she will once again believe in Kafei and decides to wait for his return despite her mother's wishes and the fact that everyone else will be taking refuge in Romani Ranch.

On the night of the Final Day, with just a few hours left until the Moon falls, Anju is desperately waiting for Kafei in her room. The two lovers at last reunite and exchange their masks and oaths when Kafei returns from having retrieved the Sun Mask that was stolen from him. In return for witnessing this event, they grant Link the Couple's Mask. Even though the Moon is just hours from destroying Termina, they urge Link to take refuge, for they will stay and greet the morning together.

During the ending credits, Anju can be seen outside Clock Town having her wedding ceremony.

TMC: can always be found standing outside of her TMC: in TMC: in. If spoken to, she will ask TMC: to help her catch her escaped NaN Cuccos.

Each time, TMC: must collect at least a certain number of NaN Cuccos within a certain time limit. They are scattered across TMC:, and must be picked up and thrown into the pen. Each time TMC: completes the challenge, TMC: rewards him with a number of NaN Rupees depending on what kinds of NaN Cuccos he retrieved; each white TMC: is worth 10 NaN Rupees, and each gold TMC: is worth 50 NaN Rupees. TMC: will also either reward him with NaN Mysterious Shells or a red TMC: depending on which stage of the challenge he is on; in addition, once the tenth challenge is complete, TMC: will give TMC: a TMC:.

The challenge becomes more difficult each time, with the number of NaN Cuccos needed, their distance from the pen, and the time available to catch them all changing. After a certain point, the challenges become impossible to complete without the TMC:, and the last few rounds require the TMC: to complete.

TMC: is one of the potential characters to have a random TMC: available. After TMC: NaN Kinstone Pieces with TMC: in the TMC: for a second time, TMC: will disappear from in front of the TMC:, allowing TMC: to go inside while TMC:-sized and climb the chimney to reach a TMC: on the roof. If TMC: TMC: NaN Kinstone Pieces with it, it will mention that it took a TMC: belonging to TMC:; however, if TMC: has already TMC: NaN Kinstone Pieces with TMC:, the TMC: will be astonished that the TMC: has disappeared.
