Zubora
Template:Character Zubora and Gabora are characters in Majora's Mask.[1]
Biography
The two smiths live in the Mountain Village in the Mountain Smithy. The perpetual winter of Snowhead froze their hearth,[2] threatening their business.[3] Link can help them by melting the ice using Hot Spring Water, a Fire Arrow,[4] or bringing spring back to the mountains by completing the Snowhead Temple.[5] With their help, Link can upgrade his Kokiri Sword.[6] However, Gold Dust is needed to make the most powerful Sword.[7] The small man Zubora is the owner,[8] who has a very chirpy personality. The hulking Gabora,[9] who is referred to as a "Deku Stick" by his business partner,[10] seems to be the one who does all the forging while his superior relaxes and drinks a warm beverage. Despite his size, he does not seem to mind being ordered around constantly.[11]
Trivia
- In The Wind Waker, the text on Phantom Ganon's Sword reads "Zubora Gabora" in Hylian.
Nomenclature
Zubora means slob in Japanese. Gabora's name could possibly be a reference to Kaepora Gaebora.
