In OoT, if you went to the graveyard as Young Link, you'd find a kid marching along the graveyard pretending to be Dampe. While many characters are accounted for after the destruction Ganon wrought upon Hyrule, he's nowhere to be found as an adult.
There's a theory floating around that he grew up to become the Poe Collector, but I find that unlikely. I believe that to the the guard who was standing in that house previously due to the fact he expressed a great interest in ghosts, and had vast knowledge of it, as well as the Triforce symbol on his sash, which indicates he may have had connections to the Royal Family, which he would have if he was a castle guard. I personally believe, similar to how Ganondorf admired Link's attitude when he refused to give up the direction in which Impa and Princess Zelda were going, he appreciated the guard's desire for mischief and turned him into the eerie Poe Collector, but that's just a theory I like to believe in.
At any point, back on topic... what do you think could have happened to the graveyard kid? As well, his parents (the guard in front of the Death Mountain Trail gate and the woman in the house). The previous statement was proven true in-game when you speak to the graveyard kid with the Keaton mask on. He states that he asked his father to get him that mask. The mother is inside the house near Death Mountain Trail and states her son is off playing in the graveyard. (because that's what every caring parent wants their kids to do...) .. are also nowhere to be found. It can probably be assumed his father, being a Hyrulean soldier, must have gotten called to defend the castle and died in battle.
What do you guys think? Sorry if this post is a little hard to follow, my thoughts were everywhere!
