'''Niko''' is a recurring character in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], having appeared in all three of the [[Toon Link]] games.

Niko teaches Link how to swing from rope to rope across the Cargo Hold of the [[Pirate Ship]]. It is part of the test that all brand new pirates must take.{{Ref|TWW|1151|Niko}}{{Ref|TWW|1152|Niko}}{{Ref|TWW|1153|Niko}}{{Ref|TWW|1154|Niko}}{{Ref|TWW|1155|Niko}}{{Ref|TWW|1156|Niko}}{{Ref|TWW|1157|Niko}} Niko gets Link to do this by promising him a prize, although he jokes with him that it will probably take him a full year to accomplish this task.{{Ref|TWW|1158|Niko}} Link surprises Niko when he accomplishes the task.{{Ref|TWW|1161|Niko}}{{Ref|TWW|1162|Niko}} Niko then has to give Link a treasure, which ends up being the [[Spoils Bag]].{{Ref|TWW|1165|Niko}}{{Ref|TWW|1166|Niko}}

Niko is surprised to see Link, as he thought he got gobbled up by the [[Helmaroc King]] back at the [[Forsaken Fortress]].{{Ref|TWW|1992-1993|Niko}} Once Link left, Niko was moved back to the bottom rung of the ladder, so he has to stay behind while everybody else is having a good time at the [[Cafe Bar]].{{Ref|TWW|1994-1995|Niko}}

At the beginning and end of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', Niko can be seen on board the Pirate Ship. He plays a very minimal role basically only being shown in this game to show how ''Phantom Hourglass'' is the direct sequel to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. He does, however, tell [[Link (The Wind Waker)#Phantom Hourglass|Link]] the intro of the game, which is basically a summary of ''The Wind Waker's'' events.

Niko is [[Link (Spirit Tracks)|Link's]] roommate in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''. They live together in a [[Link's House|house]] along the beaches of [[Aboda Village]]. Similarly to ''Phantom Hourglass'', he will tell Link the intro to the game, which is a summary of the [[Spirits of Good]]'s fight against [[Malladus]], the Demon King. This is the same Niko from the previous two games, being evidenced by him saying that Link in his [[Recruit Uniform]] looks just like an old friend of his when he was young,{{Ref|ST|3262|Niko}} and by when he gives Link the [[Shield of Antiquity]], he says it belonged to an old friend of his from his adventuring days,{{Ref|ST|3275|Niko}} and considering that this shield is the same one Link has in ''Phantom Hourglass'', it is a solid connection to the previous game.
