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. He is often found with his arms crossed and scoffing. His young and lazy employees are Shiro, Jiro, Ichiro, and Sabooro.

Appearances

Ocarina of Time

During Link's childhood, the carpenters' leader (unnamed in Ocarina of Time) and his carpenters are working on building up Kakariko Village on the orders of Impa, who hopes the village will someday be a "true city".[1] 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).[2]

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.[3] However, the carpenters' leader is the only one remaining, as his employees have all abandoned him to join the Gerudo thieves.[4] 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.[5]

The carpenters' names are Sabooro, Jiro, Ichiro and Shiro.[6]

Majora's Mask

The carpenters arguing with the guards in the mayor's residence.

In Majora's Mask, Mutoh is the head carpenter of Clock Town (this is unusual, as most of Majora's Mask's characters do not retain their roles and identities from Ocarina of Time). He is in charge of constructing the fireworks-viewing tower for the Carnival of Time. The carpenter with the green shorts is Brac[7] and the carpenter with the lumber is Bremor.[8] The other carpenters are not named the same as in Ocarina of Time.

Near the beginning, Mutoh is in the mayor's office, arguing with Captain Viscen about whether or not to flee the town in the wake of the impending moon. Link can use the Couple's Mask obtained from Anju and Kafei to stop the argument.

Most of the time, Mutoh maintains watch over the building of the tower. The other carpenters run to and fro in the town, working on supplies and construction. At night of the final day, he stands at the foot of the completed tower (his other carpenters have abandoned him and the town) yelling at the moon, "If you're gonna fall, then what's stoppin' ya, you monster?!"[9]

He indicates that he has some sons who have already fled the town.[citation needed] He also wonders about the location of his wife (whether she has fled or gone missing is undetermined)[10] and dislikes Kafei for going missing and compares him to his sons.[citation needed]

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.[11]
  • 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.
