Dampé

Dampé the Gravekeeper lives, or rather lived, in a shack in Kakariko Graveyard in Ocarina of Time. His duty was simply to look after the yard, however he also ran a graveyard tour, in which he would dig for treasure at any location asked of him. This activity is known as "Dampe's Heartpounding Gravedigging Tour". The origin of his name is very likely a play off of Dante Alighieri, the protagonist of the Divine Comedy.

Dampé died during that Link's 7 year disappearance. However his ghost could be found in his crypt. He would challenge Link to a race of sorts, and reward him with his favourite treasure, should he succeed. That treasure was the trusty Hookshot. Beating him in the race would also warrant a Heart Piece. After obtaining the Hookshot, it can be used on a torch to cut a few seconds off the clock in the race. It is also interesting to note that Dampé's grave was connected to the famous Windmill Hut, and within Ocarina of Time's game engine, it bore the same title of '?'.

Dampé is also featured in The Minish Cap.

Quote from The Minish Cap Dampé figurine:

"The gravedigger at the cemetery. They say he has the power to speak with the dead. He fuses the Kinstones he digs up with the local ghosts."

A gravedigger who is also named Dampé also appears in the Ikana Graveyard in Majora's Mask.
