Biography

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, the Blue Juggler is a nervous man who constantly tells the Red Juggler in the Market various things, only to be mocked by his twin.[4] The man dressed in blue claims that he attempted to have met Princess Zelda by sneaking into Hyrule Castle.[5] After avoiding the Soldiers, he tried to access the Castle Courtyard by crawling through the secret passageway; however, the twin became stuck within the passageway and eventually got caught by the castle's guards.[6] As a result, the guards increased their security, not allowing anyone into the castle.[7]

Later the blue Juggler is almost kicked by Ganondorf's Horse.[8] The Blue Juggler once again mocks him for this.[9]

They flee to Kakariko Village when Link is an adult. The Blue Juggler insists that he saw the ghost of Dampé descending into his grave, carrying a piece of treasure.[10] After Link clears the Shadow Temple, the Blue Juggler witnesses Link teleporting out and is shocked.[11] He also laments that no one has believed him for the last seven years.[12]

Majora's Mask

In Majora's Mask, the Twin Jugglers spend their time practicing their juggling skills outside at East Clock Town. They are always laughing and generally having a good time.[13] They like to make fun of each other, with both laughing at their jokes.[14] Both of them are members of the Gorman Troupe.[15] At night, they can be found inside the room that the Gorman Troupe rented in the Stock Pot Inn playing a game of cards.
