Kina is a character in Skyward Sword.
Biography
Kina lives at Pumpkin Landing, where she works as a waitress for her father, Pumm, at the Lumpy Pumpkin pub. At first, the waitress will remind Link not to shake the chandelier in order to get the Rupees and the Heart Piece sitting on top of the large chandelier in the establishment.[1] However, Link ignores Kina's warning and manages to destroy the chandelier.[2] As a result, Pumm forces Link to perform various tasks for the Lumpy Pumpkin, in order to pay off the cost of the destroyed chandelier. The second of the three tasks, involves helping Kina pick grown pumpkins from the field and carry them over to a large shed found outside the Lumpy Pumpkin.[3][4] However, in order to accomplish the task, Link is required to keep his balance and to not drop a single pumpkin.[5] If Link drops the pumpkins, the young hero is required to restart the whole mini-game from the beginning.
After Link obtains the Goddess Harp from Zelda in the Temple of Time, Pumm will request that Link accompanies Kina while she sings for the guests.[6] In order to accomplish the task, Link has to strum his harp with the swaying of one of the customer's arms. After successfully accompanying Kina during her performance, Pumm will inform Link that he doesn't have to work for him anymore, and rewards the hero with a Heart Piece.[7]
Trivia
- Both her and her father's names are a pun on "pumpkin".
- Pumm and Kina are likely an ode to Talon and Malon from Ocarina of Time

- ↑ "Well, well... Welcome! I can see from your handsome outfit there that you're a Skyloft knight! I hope you'll make yourself at home! Have the Rupees sitting on top of the chandelier caught your eye? Don't go thinking that you can get those down, you hear? You might think that you could knock the Rupees down by bumping something and making the chandelier shake, but... Don't even think about it! Are we clear?" — Kina (Skyward Sword)
- ↑ "Don't even pretend that was an accident! I put signs up there to warn people to be careful of the chandelier and everything! Well I wash my hands of the whole thing! Don't be surprised if my dad gives you a royal chewing out!" — Kina (Skyward Sword)
- ↑ "Oh... and your next job has been decided! Looks like you'll be helping with the pumpkin harvest! What a relief! Do you have any idea how heavy those pumpkins are? Oh yeah? You think this is going to be a piece of pumpkin cake, do you? Heh heh... Let's make this interesting. How about you carry five pumpkins at once? You better take it slow, or you'll risk dropping them. Just get out there and haul those pumpkins!" — Kina (Skyward Sword)
- ↑ "OK, then! I'll show you where you need to carry the pumpkins! See that storage shed up ahead? Carry the pumpkins there." — Kina (Skyward Sword)
- ↑ "The trick to carrying several pumpkins at once is to walk slowly! If they start to lean right, move right. If they start to lean left, move left. Take your time, and keep your balance! But if you panic and start to rush, well, you're going to drop them. So... Good luck!" — Kina (Skyward Sword)
- ↑ "Ahh! You came! Let me see... What was it that I wanted you to do next...? Hey! What's that?! That's a strange-looking instrument you have there... Oh yes! You might just be surprised to hear that Kina is actually quite the singer! It wasn't that long ago that she would sing for our customers! But she had to stop because her partner quit. Think you'd be willing to do a quick duet with Kina?" — Pumm (Skyward Sword)
- ↑ "I think you've done enough work to make up for breaking my chandelier. You're off the hook, kid. I'd even say you did a good job! I thought you might give up part way through, but you stuck it out. I hope you'll come back and see us again, but as a customer next time!" — Pumm (Skyward Sword)
