==Appearances==
===Majora's Mask===
??? makes its first appearance in ''Majora's Mask''. It can be found inside the rest room of the [[Stock Pot Inn]] in [[Clock Town]].{{Ref|name=inn}} ??? appears as a dull-colored hand that stretches out of the toilet. It is found here on any night from 12 AM to 6 AM. ??? is one of the twenty characters that has a spot in the [[Bombers' Notebook]].
If [[Link]] enters the Stock Pot Inn and talks to ??? in the aforementioned timeslot, ??? asks Link for paper.{{Ref|MM|5030|???}}{{Ref|p. 112|Every midnight, the person who lives in the toilet (the hole in the floor) will reach out to grab some toilet paper.|''[[Nintendo Power Majora's Mask Strategy Guide]]''}} Link can satisfy ???'s need for paper by giving it any of the [[Title Deed]]s or [[Letter]]s.{{Ref|pg. 112|Since there isn't any left, offer a title deed or letter.|''[[Nintendo Power Majora's Mask Strategy Guide]]''}} ??? immediately exclaims with joy,{{Ref|MM|5032|???}} and then disappears into the toilet. A few seconds later, ??? re-surfaces, and tells Link that he saved them.{{Ref|MM|5033|???}} As thanks, ??? offers Link a [[Piece of Heart]] which had previously fallen into the toilet.{{Ref|MM|5034|???}} This completes ???'s spot in the Bombers' Notebook.
===Oracle of Ages===
[[File:Hand-Ages-Sprite.png|left]]
??? resides in the [[Toilet]] in Western [[Lynna City]] in the [[Past]] in ''Oracle of Ages''. Its hand reaches out of a hole in the ground. Link can drop numerous items into the hole, including various [[Mystical Seeds]], a pot, [[Bomb]]s, and [[Bombchu]]s. Depending on which item is dropped into the hole, ??? responds differently, giving a reaction that relates to the item dropped in.


=== Majora's Mask ===
??? plays a pivotal role in the [[Oracle of Ages Trading Sequence]]. After Link acquires the [[Stationery]] from the [[Postman]], he can give it to ???. After apparently using it to wipe itself, ??? gives Link the much less desired [[Stink Bag]]. Link later uses the Stink Bag in order to clear the sinuses of the [[Tokay Chef]].
This was where ??? made its first appearance, it was located inside the toilet of the [[Stock Pot Inn]] in [[Clock Town]]. ??? appeared as a dull-coloured hand that stretched out of the toilet asking for paper. [[Link]] can give ??? a [[Title Deed]], this concludes the sidequest and Link is rewarded with a [[Piece of Heart]] (you can also hand over the Letter to Kafei or the Express Mail).

{{main|Phoeni}}
??? resides in the [[Lavatory]] in Western [[Lynna City]] in the [[Past]]. Its hand will reach out from and Link can drop numerous items into the hole including various [[Seed]]s, a pot, [[Bomb]]s, and [[Bombchu]]s. Depending on which item is dropped into the hole, ??? will respond differently giving a reaction that relates to the item dropped in.  
[[File:Hand-SS-1.png|x200px|right]]
In ''Skyward Sword'', the toilet hand is called Phoeni, and has a slightly larger role than in previous titles. Additionally, it was confirmed to be female by [[Fi]],{{Ref|name=female}} and looks more like a glove than a hand. Once again, Phoeni in ''Skyward Sword'' is asking for paper from within a toilet{{Ref|SS|3784|Phoeni}}, this time inside [[Knight Academy]]'s [[Restroom]] on [[Skyloft]].If Link gives [[Cawlin's Letter]] to Phoeni, she falls in love with Cawlin after reading it.{{Ref|SS|3793|Phoeni}} If Link visits Cawlin in [[Groose|Groose's]] room at night, Phoeni can be seen stroking Cawlin's back, giving him nightmares. Since Phoeni is so happy at this new found love, she rewards [[Link]] with five [[Gratitude Crystal]]s. Unfortunately, Cawlin is unable to sleep for the rest of the game, as Phoeni stays with him every night.

=== Skyward Sword ===
{{References}}
In this game ??? had a slightly bigger role than in the previous titles, and it was confirmed to be female and looked more like a glove than a hand. Just like in [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]], ??? in [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]] is asking for paper from within a toilet, however, this toilet is inside the [[Knight Academy]] on [[Skyloft]]. After speaking to ??? for the first time you can find [[Cawlin]] just outside the toilet door during the day, he will ask you to deliver a love letter to [[Karane]], this is where the sidequest splits into two parts.


You can choose to give the letter to ???, this will cause ??? to fall in love with Cawlin and if you visit Cawlin in [[Groose|Groose's]] room at night you can see ??? giving Cawlin nightmares, but since she is so happy to be around him she rewards [[Link]] with 5 [[Gratitude Crystal]]s, and the poor Cawlin won't be able to sleep for the rest of the game. Your other option once you receive the letter is to give the letter to Karane who will become unsure whether she wants to go out with Cawlin or not. Go speak to [[Pipit]] upstairs and he will realize how much he really loves Karane. Run back down to Karane and a cut-scene will start in which both Pipit and Cawlin ask Karane out, and Karane chooses Pipit. Cawlin runs off crying, ??? will leave forever and the player will receive 5 Gratitude Crystals from Pipit.
