With their help, Link can upgrade his Kokiri Sword. However, Gold Dust is needed to make the most powerful Sword. The small man Zubora is the owner, who 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 does not seem to mind being ordered around constantly.
