The old man is a walking encyclopedia of Koholint Island. He knows everything about the island! However, he is not very talkative and it can be difficult to get information out of him. His wife is the loud old woman who loves sweeping the front of her house.

Grandpa Ulrira is a shy old man who lives in Mabe Village.[6] If Link talks to him face to face in his house, he will tell Link to speak to him through a telephone outside.[7] Wherever Link calls Grandpa Ulrira through a Telephone Booth, he gives him helpful hints on how his current challenge. He is married to Grandma Yahoo,[2] a loud, cheerful old woman who spends her time sweeping Koholint Island with her broom.
