Carpenter

The Carpenters are a group of recurring characters that premiered in Ocarina of Time. Their leader is Mutoh, the stubborn and short-tempered head carpenter.

Ocarina of Time
During Link's childhood in Ocarina of Time, the carpenters are working on building up Kakariko Village on the orders of Impa, who hopes the village will someday be a "true city". Link learns that one of the carpenters envisions a job with little work and lots of pay, but the only example that he can think of is thievery (foreshadowing future events).

Seven years later, during Ganondorf's reign of Hyrule, the carpenters are nowhere to be found in Kakariko Village (which has been completed). They have now set up a tent in Gerudo Valley in order to restore the bridge that the Gerudo thieves have destroyed to ward off intruders. However, the carpenters' leader is the only one remaining, as his employees have all abandoned him to join the Gerudo thieves. The female bandits reject the lazy carpenters, instead holding them prisoner in separate cells throughout their fortress. Link frees them all, and after a scolding from their leader, the carpenters rebuild the bridge in Gerudo Valley.

The Boss' young and lazy employees are Shiro, Jiro, Ichiro, and Sabooro.

Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, the carpenters, known to be the Carnival Committee, are in charge of constructing the fireworks-viewing tower for the Carnival of Time in Clock Town. The carpenter with the green shorts is Brac and the carpenter with the lumber is Bremor. The other carpenters are not named the same as in Ocarina of Time too.

During the first days, Mutoh is in the mayor's office, while the other carpenters run to and fro in the town, working on supplies and construction. At night of the final day, Mutoh is the only carpenter to have not leave the town. He indicates that he has some sons who have already fled the town.

Oracle of Ages
They are once again slacking off in Oracle of Ages' prelude to Level 4, Skull Dungeon. Link finds the Foreman and explains that his workers haven't shown up to help build the bridge to Symmetry Village. After he puts them all back, the carpenters extend the bridge.

The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, Mutoh's carpenters are the same as ever, but by fusing certain Kinstone pieces, they will construct various buildings all over Hyrule Town. They also serve to block off areas Link cannot or should not reach until a certain point. After finishing all their building jobs, they vanish.

The four carpenters' names are Bremor, Brent, Doyle, and Mack. Bremor has a two spikes hairstyle and wears green trousers, Brent has devilock and wears white trousers, Doyle has flattop and wears pink trousers, and Mack has an afro cut and wears blue trousers. Before being found in Hyrule Town, Mutoh, Doyle, and Mack served to block off areas in the Eastern Hills.

Trivia

 * One of the carpenters rescued from Gerudo's Fortress in Ocarina of Time shares his name with Shiro, the invisible and injured soldier in Ikana Valley in Majora's Mask.
 * In the German version of Ocarina of Time, the Carpenters are called John, Paul, George, and Ringo, just like the The Beatles.
 * The names of the carpenters in The Minish Cap are very similar to the Cobble Knights' (Bremeur, Brant, Doylan and Max), which might explain King Mutoh's name.
