Location	Pirate Ship

Mako is one of Tetra's Pirates in The Wind Waker. He appears many times throughout the game, and also makes a short appearance in Phantom Hourglass.

Overview

Mako is the brains of the ship and is the smartest member of Tetra's Pirates. He can be seen wearing glasses and is always carrying around a book.

When Link joins the pirates on the journey, Mako refers to Link as being the new swabbie. That distinction was previously given to Niko, but is now given to Link, as he's the newest member of the group, and thus the bottom rung of the pirate ladder. Mako implies that because Link has replaced Niko at the bottom of the totem pole, Link has to obey Niko's orders. He mentions that Niko can be found belowdecks, and that Link should head down and talk to him.

During the Endless Night, Tetra's Pirates head over to Windfall Island to get some Bombs from the Bomb Shop. Mako can be seen talking with Bomb-Master Cannon, as he is being tied up. Mako mentions that they are only tying him up, because of the monoply that Cannon was running, asking pirates to pay an outrageous amount of money for some Bombs. He mentions that it was Gonzo who smooth talked one of the Postman to get the information regarding the bombs.

Figurine

Mako
	Personality: At first glance, quiet Least Favorite Thing: Having his glasses touched by strangers. Mako is called the brains of the ship and the king of invention. He may look like a weakling, but his glasses give him keen eyesight, and he's unstoppable when mad. Not many know this, but he keeps a knife hidden in that thick book of his.
