{{Term|ST|Kenzo}} is an expert craftsman who specializes in bridge-building and lives alone in isolated abode within the {{Term|ST|Snow Realm|link}}, known as the {{Term|ST|Bridge Worker's Home|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|See, I'm a bridge worker, carpenter, and craftsman, so I know all about work. If ya need a bridge, I'm your guy. I'll travel to any place that needs a bridge. It's called bein' a professional!|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> When {{Term|ST|Link|link}} obtains the {{Term|ST|Ocean Rail Map|link}} and journeys to the {{Term|ST|Ocean Realm|link}}, he finds that the bridge to the Realm has fallen under dilapidation and is in need of immediate repair if he is to continue his adventure.<ref>{{Cite|We can't make it over that broken bridge... Now how are we supposed to get to the new realm?|Princess Zelda|ST}}</ref> At the nearby {{Term|ST|Trading Post|link}}, {{Term|ST|Linebeck III|link}} mentions a bridge worker from the {{Term|ST|Snow Realm}},<ref name="Bridge Worker"/> and suggests that {{Term|ST|Link}} ferry him to the broken bridge for their mutual benefit.<ref>{{Cite|Wait... You're an engineer, aren't you? Well, that's just perfect! Go fetch that bridge worker so we can both get on with our business.|Linebeck III|ST}}</ref> {{Term|ST|Link}} locates {{Term|ST|Kenzo}} at his home and informs him of the job, which he readily accepts, implying that he has personal history with {{Term|ST|Linebeck III|display=Linebeck}}.<ref>{{Cite|What? Ya want me to fix the bridge? ...All right, let me at it! I got somethin' to tell that Linebeck anyhow.|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> | |||
On his way back to the {{Term|ST|Spirit Train|link}}, {{Term|ST|Link}} encounters {{Term|ST|Ferrus|link}} just outside the {{Term|ST|Bridge Worker's Home}}, who warns the young engineer that {{Term|ST|Kenzo}} is especially fussy about following the rules of the tracks.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, but you should know that the bridge worker is super-mega fussy. If you don't {{Color|ST Light Blue|blow your whistle when the signs say so}}... Or if you don't {{Color|ST Light Blue|follow the signs telling you to speed up or slow down}}... Or if you don't {{Color|ST Light Blue|stop right at the platform}}... Or if you {{Color|ST Light Blue|get hit by an enemy}} while you're traveling... He'll jump off the train and yell at you till he's blue in the face.|Ferrus|ST}}</ref> As {{Term|ST|Kenzo}} is {{Term|ST|Link}}'s first {{Term|ST|Passenger|link}} aboard the {{Term|ST|Spirit Train}}, this serves as instructions on how to properly transport {{Plural|ST|Passenger}} and keep them from disembarking the train. | |||
= | Back at the {{Term|ST|Trading Post}}, {{Term|ST|Kenzo}} surveys the damage and agrees to fix the bridge,<ref>{{Cite|Hmm, yep, this bridge got a number done on it. It's not beyond fixin', though.|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> for a steep fee of 5,000 {{Plural|ST|Rupee|link}}, a price that includes previous debts that {{Term|ST|Linebeck III}} apparently owes the bridge worker.<ref>{{Cite|Course, course. Just leave it to me! Shouldn't be a problem. Assumin', of course, that you've got my repair fee on hand. Ya do, right? Ya also still owe me for the work I did on your house. So along with the bridge... Hmm, I'd say 5,000 Rupees oughta cover the bill nicely!|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> {{Term|ST|Linebeck III}}'s plan to cover the bill is to have {{Term|ST|Link}} locate the {{Term|ST|Regal Ring|link}}, a secret {{Term|ST|Treasure|link}} buried by his grandfather, {{Term|ST|Linebeck|link|display=Linebeck Senior}}, supposedly valued at 8,000 {{Plural|ST|Rupee}}. Just as {{Term|ST|Link}} returns with the {{Term|ST|Treasure}} in hand, {{Term|ST|Kenzo}} finishes his work,<ref>{{Cite|Just came by to let ya know the bridge is all patched up.|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> and takes the {{Term|ST|Regal Ring}} for himself as payment, pocketing the 3,000-{{Term|ST|Rupee}} difference.<ref>{{Cite|Sure is! And now that the work's done, I'll take that ring as payment! So this little doodad's worth 8,000 Rupees? Coulda fooled me. Still, it beats takin' another IOU!|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> | ||
Some time later, the | |||
Some time later, the {{Plural|ST|Anouki|link}} of {{Term|ST|Anouki Village|link}} plan to erect a wooden fence as part of their "neighborhood watch" mission to keep so-called "monsters" out,<ref>{{Cite|Take a look, pal. We're thinkin' about buildin' a fence to keep monsters out.|Honcho|ST}}</ref> and require the aid of a handyman.<ref>{{Cite|Hey there, little guy! I know we don't got any lumber around these parts. And...we don't really got anyone with the know-how to build a fence. So, listen... Do ya think ya can bring us both lumber and a handyman? We'd be eternally grateful, guy!|Yeko|ST}}</ref> {{Term|ST|Link}} can return to the {{Term|ST|Trading Post}} to find Kenzo, who is looking for a change of scenery.<ref>{{Cite|Well, whaddaya think? The bridge hasn't fallen down yet! Not too shabby, eh? But this place is kind of a bore for a cosmopolitan fella like myself. Actually, I'm thinkin' of headin' somewhere new...|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> When {{Term|ST|Link}} mentions the job in {{Term|ST|Anouki Village}}, {{Term|ST|Kenzo}} initially resists the idea of building something other than a bridge,<ref>{{Cite|What?! They're lookin' for someone to build a fence in {{Color|ST Light Blue|Anouki Village}}? What does that have to do with me? I'm the BRIDGE worker! Got that? BRIDGE! Ya think I want to build some ugly old fence?!|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> but quickly changes his mind and agrees to the job after inferring that a "true craftsman" can build any structure.<ref>{{Cite|What's that ya say? A true craftsman can build anything he wants to? Hmm... I think I know more about what a craftsman can do than you do, kid! Still, maybe ya got a point there... Tell ya what! I'll build that fence after all! We can go right now!|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> After another trip on the {{Term|ST|Spirit Train}}, {{Term|ST|Kenzo}} arrives invigorated and ready to work,<ref>{{Cite|What? We're here already? Your driving was so smooth that the trip just flew by! I'm rested and ready to tackle the work. Off I go!|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> so long as there is sufficient {{Term|ST|Lumber|link}} for him to work with.<ref>{{Cite|Ya don't have any lumber? But that's the key ingredient!|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> However, {{Term|ST|Kenzo}} is never shown to actually complete the structure, and works away at it for the remainder of the game.<ref>{{Cite|Eh? What do you mean, "no progress?!" See, that's why projects like this are tough! Can't ya see? The base is the most important! Ya can't just throw it together! If I leave this for later, the end product is gonna be completely off! It's the details that make a true craftsman! And I been at this my whole life! If ya understand, then get outta my hair and let me get back to work!|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *{{Term|ST|Kenzo}} strongly resembles {{Term|PH|Gazpacho|link}} from {{PH}}, implying that he may be a descendant. This is further supported by the fact that he has a portrait of {{Term|PH|Gazpacho}} in his house. | ||
*{{Term|ST|Kenzo}} is apparently a union member. He implies this when {{Term|ST|Link}} has a {{Term|ST|Freight Car|link}} with which to transport {{Term|ST|Lumber}}, but nonetheless takes him to {{Term|ST|Anouki Village}} without any {{Term|ST|Lumber}} to work with, by mentioning that the "union handbook" instructs him to keep his hands warm.<ref>{{Cite|It's f-f-freezin' here, kid! Hurry up and bring the lumber already! My hands are too numb to do a thing! I'll just warm up my hands so I can start as soon as ya bring the materials. It's in the union handbook.|Kenzo|ST}}</ref> | |||
