Template:Character Gorman is the middle brother of the Gorman Brothers and is the leader of the Gorman Troupe,[1] a traveling group of performers scheduled to perform at the Carnival of Time, in Majora's Mask.[2] He also has a minor role in The Minish Cap as an aspiring real estate investor in Hyrule Town.

Appearances and Biography

Majora's Mask

Gorman at the Milk Bar

In Majora's Mask, Gorman has two brothers that run a racing track near Milk Road. Gorman proves to be more kind-hearted and benevolent than his brothers, despite seeming a bit frightful and rude when Link first talks to him.

When he visits Madame Aroma in Majora's Mask, he is devastated to learn the Carnival will be canceled, due to the impending Moon disaster and the leader of The Indigo-Go's, Lulu, losing her voice.[3][4] He spends the rest of his time drowning his sorrows at the Milk Bar without informing the rest of the troupe that their acts have been called off.[5]

After finding out about their canceled performance, Gorman begins to regret his decision of abandoning farm life in order to enter the world of show business. He left his brothers and the ranch since he couldn't handle horses like his older brother, and couldn't take care of horses like his younger brother;[6] however, he now realizes he quit the ranch life for nothing.[7]

When Link gets up on stage and plays the Ballad of the Wind Fish as a Hylian, Deku, Zora, and Goron, Gorman is brought to tears, for it was that same song that he had heard at the Carnival of Time long ago and motivated him to enter the show business. By so doing, he had hoped to meet the singers of the Ballad of the Wind Fish.[8] He apologizes to Link for booing and gives him the Circus Leader's Mask.

If Link performs the Ballad of the Wind Fish for Gorman the night before, on the night of the second day Gorman is seen playing cards with the Twin Jugglers, and informs Link that he and the troupe will leave town the next day since they can't expect anyone to attend their show anyway.[9] He even offers Link a place to stay with his older brother, who he says is a nice guy, at the Gorman Track.[10]

Gorman's equivalent character from Template:OOT is Ingo.

The Minish Cap

File:Gorman(TMC).png
File:Din House.gif
The first "Oracle House" with Din as a tenant

In The Minish Cap, Gorman is a citizen of Hyrule Town. He is an aspiring real estate investor and the author of Gorman's Guide to Good Grub. When Link fuses a Red Kinstone with the Oracle Farore at Happy Hearth Inn, Gorman gets the idea to rent his house in southeastern Hyrule Castle Town for extra money.[11][12] He asks Link to broker for him as he has strict criteria and cannot be bothered to search for a tenant himself.[13] Link can show the house to either Farore, Din or Nayru.

After obtaining a tenant for his current house, Gorman plans to build a second house one on the west side of town.[14] Mutoh and the carpenters construct it for him after Link fuses another Red Kinstone with the carpenter Bremor.[15][16] Link can then have one of the remaining two Oracles rent that house. Afterwards, Gorman can be seen standing south of the Royal Hyrule Library, near an enclosure containing two cats. He considers breeding pets with the money he made from his rental properties.[17] Gorman disappears when Vaati takes over Hyrule Castle.

Gorman does not attempt to rent out a third house for the remaining Oracle. Link cannot find a home for that Oracle nor obtain their Charm.

Trivia

  • In the European version of The Minish Cap, Gorman mentions he is considering building a third house over the cat enclosure in town,[18] though he never does. This comment was replaced in the North American version, which was released two months after the original Japanese and European versions.
