Biography

Majora's Mask

Jim is the leader of the Bombers Secret Society of Justice in Majora's Mask. He wears a red bandanna and uses a blowgun,[5] which he can be seen shooting at a balloon styled after Majora's Mask in North Clock Town. He is a tough acting kid who is strict about the membership of his justice seeking group the Bombers,[6] due to previous events with the Skull Kid. Though he comes off as a troublemaker at first, his actions and intentions are kind-hearted.[7] Jim is also an observant child, whom will sometimes react to Link's Masks when he knows information about an individual.[8][9]

He seems to run his group with pride, and has little patience for people he would consider weak.[10] In order to be considered a member of his group, Link must win at a game of Hide-and-Seek to prove himself worthy.[11] If Link is not Human while obtaining the code to their Secret Hideout, Jim will begrudge the fact that he isn't allowed into his gang.[12]

The Minish Cap

Jim is a young boy who attends Funday School in The Minish Cap. He is the younger brother of Julietta,[2] and the son of Verona. He enjoys reading books and pretending that he is a hero on an adventure.[13] After Vaati transforms Hyrule Castle into Dark Hyrule Castle, Jim returns home with Julietta and Verona, where he stays for the remainder of the game.

Jim is one of the potential characters to have a random Kinstone Fusion available.[14]
