{{Term/Store|Tokay|Tokay|Series, OoA|plural}} are a recurring species of short, reptilian creatures in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|book=E|publisher=|page=55}}</ref> {{Plural|Series|Tokay}} go unnamed in the {{OoA|Himekawa}}. | |||

==={{OoA|-}}=== | |||
The Tokay have angular heads, gangly limbs, catlike appearances, clawed hands and feet, and orange crests. They are very strong swimmers. Tokay live in the caves of [[Crescent Island]],<ref>{{Cite|This is Crescent Island. I've never seen a Tokay like you. You have long ears. Are you a long-eared Tokay?|Tokay|OoA}}</ref> a large isle off the coast of [[Labrynna]]; their secretive lifestyle have made this species quite the topic of conversation on the Labrynna mainland.<ref>{{Cite|Do you know of the Tokay? I hear there's an island full of them across the sea!|Man|OoA}}</ref> In {{OoA|-}}, a group of Tokay find {{Term|OoA|Link|link}}'s items washed up on their island and he must get them back using a barter economy the Tokay have established.<ref>{{Cite|Hey! You're the one who I... Um, I'm glad you came. I was thinking maybe I should hide-- I mean maybe I should go give this back to you. Here!|Tokay|OoA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I found this by the sea. It was next to a Tokay with no tail. Hey! You don't have a tail, either. ...Ohh. Is this... Um, take this. I... I don't need it.|Tokay|OoA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|First give me my hoop back. Then you get your Shovel.|Tokay|OoA}}</ref> In terms of spirituality, the Tokay pray to and spread legends about their "Guardian", a large statue that sits at the center of the island.<ref>{{Cite|Our guardian is at the center of the island. When the sun climbs high into the sky, the sea comes in and you can't get to him.|Tokay|OoA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|It's said that long ago, a Tokay with no tail opened our guardian's mouth.|Tokay|OoA}}</ref> | |||
Besides having set up this fairly elaborate economy, the Tokay are fairly simple, almost to the point of being stupid. Some Tokay have indicated they think three is a huge number.<ref>{{ | Unlike the buy-and-sell method of shopping, the Tokay have set up a barter economy; although they still do sell in the conventional sense, the price is not Rupees, but items, such as [[Mystery Seed]]s or [[Scent Seed]]s.<ref>{{Cite|I found that feather. You can have it for 10 Mystery Seeds.|Tokay|OoA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|That's the hoop I found. I'll trade it for 10 Scent Seeds.|Tokay|OoA}}</ref> In the event that the prospective buyer cannot afford these items, a compromise can sometimes be met, where the buyer will exchange one of their items for the seller's.<ref>{{Cite|You don't have Mystery Seeds? Then I'll trade you for your Shovel.|Tokay|OoA}}</ref> However, the buyer cannot get anything new from the seller after this, and must trade back the item they took for their old item before getting anything new.<ref>{{Cite|I'll give you your Shovel back if you give me my hoop back.|Tokay|OoA}}</ref> | ||

A single {{Term|OoA (Himekawa)|Tokay}} briefly appears in {{OoA|Himekawa|-}}. They are an older {{Term|OoA (Himekawa)|Tokay}}, distinguished by a beard and monocle, who runs a sort of antique shop in a city. It is here that {{Term|OoA (Himekawa)|Ralph|link}} finally finds the lost {{Term|OoA (Himekawa)|Harp of Ages|link}} that {{Term|OoA (Himekawa)|Link}} misplaced in the past, allowing him to rejoin {{Term|OoA (Himekawa)|Link}} and assist in freeing {{Term|OoA (Himekawa)|Nayru (Oracle)|link}} from {{Term|OoA (Himekawa)|Veran|link}}'s influence.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= {{OoA|Himekawa|-}} (Legendary Edition)|publisher= VIZ Media|page= 274}}</ref> | |||
