Old Man Ho Ho

Birthplace: Unknown
Favorite Thing: Telescopes

Old man Ho Ho found his first telescope after retiring from his job and has been traveling in search of new sights ever since.

A new discovery always awaits at the far end of his telescope.

Old Man Ho Ho is usually seen staring through his Telescope looking at places of interest where treasure or special items can be found. When spoken to, he also gives subtle hints to what or where the place is that he is staring at and what can be found there. Sometimes he is even looking through a kaleidoscope.

While he knows where to find many of the Great Sea's treasures, perhaps the most impressive is his apparent knowledge concerning the Triforce Chart in the Savage Labyrinth.

Though he does not appear in Phantom Hourglass, members of the Ho Ho Tribe appear, hailing from the land of Wayaway.
