Phoeni

Phoeni, also known as the Hand or ???, is a recurring character in.

Appearances
In all of the character's appearances, only her hand is visible. She is typically depicted as living inside a toilet or an outhouse.

Majora's Mask
In, Phoeni's origins and name are unknown, so she is called "???". She emerges from the toilet of the Stock Pot Inn at midnight asking for paper, and remains there until 6 am. Link can give her any item made of paper, such as any of the Title Deeds, the Letter to Kafei, or the Special Delivery to Mama. By doing so, Phoeni will reward him with a Piece of Heart.

Oracle of Ages
In, Phoeni is known as the "Hand". She appears in the toilet of an outhouse in Lynna Village. She is in need of paper, and asks Link to give her some. Link can give her the Stationery as part of the Trading Sequence. In exchange, she will give him the Stink Bag, the next item in the Trading Sequence.

Additionally, Link can throw in various items into the toilet to cause different reactions from Phoeni. They are as follows:
 * Mystery Seed: "Wh-What?!?"
 * Ember Seed: "Ooo… hot!"
 * Scent Seed: "Ewwww!"
 * Gale Seed: "My head spins!"
 * Bomb: *explodes* "Koff!"
 * Bombchu:"???" *explodes* "Koff!"
 * Pushing the Pot: "Nooooo!"

Skyward Sword


In SS undefined, Phoeni is depicted as the ghost of a young girl in the toilet of the Knight Academy and can only be seen at night. She is unnamed in the game, but is named Phoeni in the Prima Games guide. Like her precedent appearances, she asks for paper. Once Link receives Cawlin's Letter, he can choose to deliver it to Karane or give it to Phoeni. If he chooses to give it to Karane and visits Phoeni afterwards, she will tell Link she no longer needs paper before vanishing. If he chooses to give the letter to the hand, she will believe the letter was meant for her, and give Link five Gratitude Crystals in return (These same crystals are also eventually received if Link chooses to give the letter to Karane instead). Afterwards, Phoeni will then be found stroking Cawlin's head while he sleeps.

Trivia

 * According to Shigeru Miyamoto, Phoeni's appearance and origin comes from Japanese horror stories involving a hand in a toilet.
 * Another hand character appears in . The hand was a Thief before being cursed in the Dark World.
 * Phoeni's visible hand in Majora's Mask is a left hand. Various cultures around the world associate the left hand as dirty because right-handed people typically use the left hand to wipe themselves after using the toilet. However, the one in Oracle of Ages and in Skyward Sword is a right hand.
 * Phoeni's sound clips in Majora's Mask are the same as that of Mikau's when Link first meets him at Great Bay.
