In The Wind Waker, however, he is the keeper of Nayru's pearl, and gives it to Link when the King of Red Lions requests it,  though he is reluctant to do so It is also unknown how far his power exceeds due to the fact that he disappears after seven years from Zora's Domain, and thus it is possible he has died.
