In ''The Wind Waker'', Niko enthusiastically befriends [[Link]] when he is reluctantly cast below the decks for a journey to the [[Forsaken Fortress]]; as with Link's presence, Niko himself no longer had the worst repute on board.<ref name=quote1/> Niko's apparently notorious incompetence leads him to be outwitted by Link on several occasions and has him hand over multiple important treasures to the hero as rewards for completing his challenges. When Link first meets Niko, the young pirate gives him a test which all new pirate swabbies must take, which is to swing from platform to platform using ropes hanging from the ceiling and reach the other end of the ship.<ref>{{cite|Right! Now, first off you have to take the test all new pirates have to take. It's a bit of a doozy, so get ready!|Niko|The Wind Waker}}</ref> Niko is confident that it will take Link at least a year to successfully complete the test, but is astounded when the young hero easily finishes the trial.<ref>{{cite|It will probably take you at least one year | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', Niko enthusiastically befriends [[Link]] when he is reluctantly cast below the decks for a journey to the [[Forsaken Fortress]]; as with Link's presence, Niko himself no longer had the worst repute on board.<ref name=quote1/> Niko's apparently notorious incompetence leads him to be outwitted by Link on several occasions and has him hand over multiple important treasures to the hero as rewards for completing his challenges.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', Niko recounts the events of ''The Wind Waker'' during the game's introduction before the [[Ghost Ship (Phantom Hourglass)|Ghost Ship]] appears; however, Niko's role is severely limited in the game and only makes an appearance during the opening and closing sequences of the game. He is last seen when Tetra and Link reunite with the rest of the pirate crew. He is fond of his paper cutouts,<ref>{{cite|So what did you think of my amazing paper cutouts?

Niko makes an appearance in ''Spirit Tracks'' as presumably one of the few surviving founders of [[Hyrule]] and the conquerors of the [[Demon King]]. In this game, he appears as an ancient man (''Spirit Tracks'' takes place 100 years after ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Phantom Hourglass'', both of which took place in Niko's youth) who keeps pictures and memorabilia from his pirating days in his home. He narrates the opening cutscene of the game, just as he did at the opening of ''Phantom Hourglass''. | [[File:ST Niko.png|right|150px|Niko]] | ||
