Template:Deity Jabun is a major character who appears in The Wind Waker. He is thought to be a descendant of Jabu-Jabu.[1]

Biography

Jabun is a giant fish known as the Water Spirit who used to live at Greatfish Isle. He can only speak Ancient Hylian. Before Greatfish Isle was destroyed, he sensed Ganondorf coming and fled to a cave hidden in Outset Island.[2] Knowing of his whereabouts and seeking the third pearl, the King of Red Lions and Link sailed to his new home. Although Jabun at first hesitated to hand over Nayru's Pearl to one who had no connection to the Hero of Time, the Water Spirit relented and gave the final pearl to Link, leaving it up to the gods to test the true courage of the young hero.[3] [4][5]

Trivia

  • His audio theme is similar to that of Inside Jabu-Jabu's belly in Ocarina of Time.
  • Despite having lived on Greatfish Isle, his figurine is placed in the room of Outset Island characters, as he moves and stays there during the rest of the game.
  • Jabun is based on an angler fish, as shown by his shape and the lantern on his head; he also resembles the Angler Fish enemies from Link's Awakening and Oracle of Ages.
  • Jabun recognizes the King of Red Lions as the King of Hyrule and greets him as such, although Link remains unaware because he cannot speak ancient Hylian.[6]
  • The Prima Games guide for The Wind Waker says that Jabun was once known as Jabu-Jabu.[7] Given Hyrule Historia's claim that Jabun is more likely a descendant, this is not thought to be canon.
  • The beta of The Wind Waker included an audio clip of a screaming noise Jabun was intended to make - while it is never used in connection to him in the final game, a sped-up version is instead heard after obtaining the Triforce Chart onboard the Ghost Ship.[8]
  • Given the Sky and Earth Spirit serve as the protectors of different races on the Great Sea - the Rito and Koroks, respectively - it's possible Jabun may be some sort of Hylian guardian, seeing as his former home was shown to have what appeared to be remnants of a small village, and that he moved to a similar island settlement after Greatfish Isle was destroyed.
