Purlo

Purlo (ダンチョー, Danchou), a character from Twilight Princess, runs the STAR mini game in the western thoroughfare of Hyrule Castle Town (GCN version). Purlo has the characteristics of a scam artist, as he designed the STAR Game to be unbeatable. This is evidenced by many things he mumbles under his breath. When Castle Town is still covered by the Twilight Curtain, Link can eavesdrop on Purlo's spirit outside the STAR Game tent, where his conniving character is given away by this sort of muttering. Initially, Purlo treats Link like a victim he can con into playing the STAR Game, but if Link somehow manages to win, Purlo takes it personally, and he creates a more difficult version of the game just for Link. When Link beats the second version of the game, Purlo gives up on conning Link and dreads his presence from then on. When Link approaches Purlo in his wolf form, it is revealed that Purlo has canine allergies, which seem to bother him even more than the fact Link is a wolf.

Trivia

 * Purlo is a play on the word "purloin", which means to steal or sneak.
 * Purlo was made to resemble Tingle, as his green clothes, his blue clock, and parts of his personality suggest.
 * Oddly enough if Link talks to Purlo again after receiving the Big quiver. Purlo acts as if Link playing the STAR Game is a bad thing as if it would put him out of business. Even though you must pay Purlo to play the game. Which in turn would add to his profits instead of actually ending his business. The most likely reason for Purlo's odd behavior is due to being a scam artist he fears that his reputation and the STAR Game's notoriety would decrease. As well as giving Link a reward of 100 rupees each time he wins it.
