McNey

McNey is a character that appears in Phantom Hourglass. He was an esteemed explorer who spent much of his lifetime trying to discover the legendary treasure held dearly by the Cobble Kingdom: the Pure Metal Aquanine. Much of his findings were left written in an article for the "Explorer's Compass."

Eventually, McNey ended up in the Isle of the Dead and stumbled upon the Phantom Corridor and prematurely entered it before solving the corridor's puzzle. As a result, he ended up wandering its halls until his death. When Link arrives to the isle and makes his way to the Phantom Corridor, McNey advises the young hero that, if he still hasn't solved the corridor's puzzle, he must find the entrance as soon as he can before he meets the same fate as the deceased explorer.
