Ghost


 * Not to be confused with Ghini or Poes, common ghost enemies in the Zelda series.

The Ghost is a sad, nostalgic spirit who starts to haunt Link after the completion of the Angler's Tunnel in Link's Awakening.

Biography
The Ghost wants Link to take it to its house. As he cannot enter any dungeons while the Ghost follows him, Link must help it in order to enter the Catfish's Maw. Once Link brings it to a dilapidated house north of Toronbo Shores, the Ghost examines it before saying it is essentially unchanged from what it was when he was alive.

The Ghost then asks Link to bring it to its grave, which is the one located in the Koholint Prairie near the Cemetary. Once there, the Ghost thanks Link and tells him to look inside one of the jars in his house to find a reward, which is actually a Secret Seashell. The seashell does not appear until after Link has fulfilled the Ghost's requests.

If Link approaches the Ghost's grave after returning him there in Link's Awakening DX, the Photographer will come and take a picture.

Other appearances
In the Link's Awakening manga, the Ghost is named Nakura. Nakura is a former soldier. He saves Link's life by possessing him during his fight against Karuna and gives him a more powerful sword after Link takes him to his house.

Trivia

 * If Link sprinkles Magic Powder on the Ghost's grave this upsets him, and he will tell Link to stop or suffer the effects of a curse. Despite this, he will not put a curse of any kind on Link.
 * The Poes in Oracle of Seasons are very similar in appearance to the Ghost, and even share the same sound effect when appearing.
 * The Ghost appears to be the same type of ghost as Spookter and Spekter in The Minish Cap.
