Abe
Abe is a character in The Wind Waker.[2]
Biography
Greatest Treasure: His family
Abe is a family man who takes good care of his wife and two kids. In his younger days, his dashing good looks and baritone voice made him quite the ladies’ man.
Then one day, he was instantly smitten by a woman named Rose. Even though he was consistently rebuffed, he persisted and finally convinced Rose to marry him.
Abe lives on Outset Island,[2] on which he was born.[1] He is married to Rose and together, they have two sons: Joel and Zill.[2] He is interested in Pigs. Before Link leaves Outset Island for the first time, he can be seen trying to catch a black pig by awaiting it from behind a Palm Tree. He gives Link some hints on how to catch Pigs. When Link returns later in his adventure, Abe will be just outside of his house next to the fairly grown Pig. Abe will also ask the young hero later on to take his Pig, Link, out for a walk.[3]
Nomenclature
Abe is derived from his Japanese name, アブリ (Aburi), from the Japanese 炙り (Aburi), which means cooking food by fire exposure.[4] This is a joke that implies he and his wife only wanted pigs to eat them. The name is also a shortened form of the name "Abraham".[5] This could be a reference to Abraham Lincoln, with whom Abe shares similar facial expressions and hair.

Say, Link, is there any way you could pick him up and take him for a walk for me? I'd really appreciate it! My back is just killing me...
