'''Ferrus''' is a self-proclaimed "trainiac" who appears in {{ST}}.

Although he lives at [[Wellspring Station]], he instead spends most of his time around Hyrule taking pictures of trains. When [[Link]] first meets Ferrus, he reveals the way through the eternal blizzard so [[Link]] may reach the [[Snow Temple]]. Afterwards, he is found at the [[Bridge Worker's Home]], where he gives Link instructions on how to properly drive the [[Spirit Train]] before the young hero embarks with his first passenger, the [[Bridge Worker]]. These instructions, known as the [[Ferrus's Rules of the Rails|Rules of the Rails]], are also written on papers tacked on the walls of Ferrus' home at the Wellspring Station.

Ferrus claims to be [[Alfonzo]]'s number one fan. At one point, he asks the young hero to take him to [[Aboda Village]] to meet the man and get his autograph. However, once Link and Ferrus reach Aboda Village, Ferrus finds his encounter with his hero incredibly disappointing, for Alfonzo claims that he is no Legendary Engineer, but a Legendary Swordsman. After this, Ferrus can be found at Aboda Village's beach for a time, proclaiming that there must be a Legendary Engineer out there somewhere. He will then send Link a [[Letter]] telling him to go to the [[Fire Realm]]. Link then takes him to the [[Ocean Temple]] where he will be rewarded with a [[Force Gem]]. After that, Link will get a letter telling him to go south of the [[Forest Temple (Spirit Tracks)|Forest Temple]] but north of the [[Forest Sanctuary]]. He will give Link a random piece of [[Treasure#Spirit Tracks|treasure]] he found while exploring the Ocean Temple and after that, Ferrus will return to the [[Wellspring Station]] and tell [[Link]] about his report on the [[Armored Train]]s and [[Dark Train]]s. Ferrus is last seen taking photographs of trains during the end credits.

==Etymology==

Ferrus' name comes from ''Ferrum'', the Latin word for iron.

==Trivia==

*Ferrus uses lines of dialogue popular on the internet, proclaiming "Oh em gee!" when Link agrees to take him to Alfonzo, and "Woot!" when riding the [[Spirit Train]].
