Biography

The Wind Waker

Descriptionshide ▲
Zuko
Personality: Taciturn
Talent: Spying

Zuko is in charge of keeping watch. His sharp eyes can read signs a mile off, but no one really understands what he says, so they rarely know what he's seen.

Zuko is in charge of keeping watch for Tetra's Pirate Crew, and as such, he can always be seen carrying a Telescope and is usually atop the lookout platform of Tetra's Ship.

Zuko makes his final appearance in The Wind Waker during the game's ending sequence. After Link and Tetra resurface from the sunken Hyrule Castle, Zuko, along with the rest of the pirate crew and a few other characters, greet the pair aboard their pirate ship before setting sail from Outset Island in search of new lands.

Like the rest of the pirates, Zuko bears a striking resemble to a man portrayed in a wall painting hanging in the sunken Hyrule Castle, which heavily hints that the man could be Zuko's ancestor serving under the orders of a past Princess Zelda.
