In ''Ocarina of Time'', the Mystery Man lives in [[Castle Town]] inside his [[Ghost Shop]]. Link first encounters him as an adult. He collects Poes in a cage that are angry spirits. After [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] demolished [[Castle Town]], the Mystery Man thought that it was a perfect time to start a shop there. If Link brings him a [[Big Poe]] that is found outside in [[Hyrule Field]], the Mystery Man will put 100 points on his card and grant him with 50 [[Rupee]]s. Furthermore, after Link collects 10 Big Poes of total, the Mystery Man will reward Link with an [[Bottle|Empty Bottle]].

In ''Majora's Mask'', Link encounters the Mystery Man occasionally throughout the game. He also runs a mini-game inside the [[Spirit House]] in [[Ikana Canyon]]. The objective is to defeat all the [[Poe Sisters]] to be rewarded with a [[Piece of Heart]]. Unlike his ''Ocarina of Time'' counterpart, he appears more often in the game, giving Link information about certain things throughout his journey. The first time Link encounters the Mystery Man is on the [[Road to Ikana]] sitting atop the hill that leads to Ikana Canyon. However, he doesn't allow Link to enter Ikana Canyon directly because he says Link is not suitable for such place, but if Link wears the [[Garo's Mask]] while speaking to him, he will summon a withered tree near the ledge of the hill which allows Link to enter Ikana Canyon by latching on to it with the [[Hookshot]].{{Ref|MM|3209|Mystery Man}} He also explains that Ikana Canyon is where regretful spirits without serenity reside.{{Ref|MM|3210|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3211|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3213|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3214|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3215|Mystery Man}} Link can then enter Ikana Canyon and participate in his mini-game at the Spirit House. The last time Link encounters him is in the [[Secret Shrine]], which is found behind the waterfall in Ikana Canyon. He informs Link that he succeeded to dispatch the spirits in Ikana into serenity and that the creatures in the Secret Shrine have been awaiting Link for a long time.{{Ref|MM|3219|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3220|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3221|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3222|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3223|Mystery Man}} After Link defeats all the four mini-bosses in the Secret Shrine, he will once again encounter the Mystery Man.{{Ref|MM|3224|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3225|Mystery Man}} After speaking to him, he will disappear, leaving behind a Treasure Chest containing a Piece of Heart.{{Ref|MM|3226|Mystery Man}}{{Ref|MM|3227|Mystery Man}}

* If [[Link]] talks to the [[Soldier]] at nighttime at the exact same location as the [[Mystery Man]] is in, he states that he is interested in ghosts and that studying ghosts is a hobby of his. It is possible that the Soldier and the Mystery Man is the same individual.
