The Man on a Roof can be found sitting on the roof of [[Granny's Potion Shop]] in [[Kakariko Village#Ocarina of Time|Kakariko Village]] in {{OoT}}. He spends all day staring at [[Death Mountain]]. The man can only be reached by using the [[Hookshot]], in which he will reward [[Link]] a [[Piece of Heart]].<ref>{{Cite|Hey! Good to see you again!

The Part-Timer can be seen working at the [[Trading Post (Majora's Mask)|Trading Post]] after 10 p.m., but is also found during the day in [[Termina Field]] trying to catch three red [[Rupee]]s on a [[tree]] near the [[Astral Observatory]].

Baito's Letter

 Yo! How ya been, man? I gotta tell ya,
 you really helped me out back there at
 the Mail Center. I appreciate it!

 I've been trying real hard ever since then,
 but my postman skills are still weak.
 I just can't seem to hit 22 letters!
 I doubt I'll ever be as good as you, man.
 So anyway, I've been hearing all kinds of
 crazy tales about you, and I figured I
 just had to write you a letter.

 It sounds like you're doing some pretty
 amazing stuff, man! You're great!
 You're awesome! You're...the man, man!

 You can probably tell that I had no idea
 what to write, but hey, I figured the
 least I could do would be to send you
 a letter of encouragement.
 So... Yay, man, yay!
 Go, man, go! Go! Go!
 Never give up! Never lose hope!

 And while I don't make much, I'm sending
 you the wages I've earned lately. Just
 doing my part! Hope it helps!

 I'm really sorry I had to send this C.O.D.,
 but I guess that's the price of fame!
           Take care!
    Thanks again, boss! From Baito
