Old Man Ulrira

Uliria is a very shy man who lives in Mabe Village on Koholint Island. His first and only appearance to date is Link's Awakening. If you talk to him in his house, he will tell you to speak through a telephone outside. Wherever you find a telephone booth on the island, he will give you hints on how to progress through the game. He is married to Grandma Uliria, who does most of the work outside. He seems to know everything about the island, and where you are in the game. For example, say you have beaten one dungeon, he will give you hints on how to get to the next. Either he has psychic abilities, or he is just Nintendo's way to guide a player through the game.
