Template:Character Error is a citizen of the Town of Ruto in The Adventure of Link.

A rather infamous NPC, he is found inside of a house, which usually denotes that the occupant has something vital to tell Link, but he merely repeats his single line of "I AM ERROR" until Link meets a second man in the Harbor Town of Mido,[1] at which point an attempt to converse with Error will provide Link with information on how to find the passage to the Island Palace.[2]

In the other towns, men similar in appearance to Error often say unhelpful lines when Link talks to them.[3] Although, one of them, in Rauru, tells Link about the Fire Spell[4] and another one, in the Hidden Town of Kasuto, tells him how to find the Three Eye Rock Palace.[5]
