Niko is recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series, having appeared in all three of the Toon Link games.
Appearances
Wind Waker
Niko is the lowest member of Tetra's Pirates until Link comes along. Then Niko feels high and mighty, and wants to see Link fail. He tells Link to swing from rope to rope across the Cargo Hold of the Pirate Ship. Niko gets Link to do this by promising him a prize. Link surprises Niko when he accomplishes the task. Niko then has to give Link a treasure. This happens twice. Through Niko, Link receives the Spoils Bag and Bombs.
Phantom Hourglass
At the beginning and end of 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 Houglass is the direct sequel to The Wind Waker. He does, however, tell Link the intro of the game, which is basically a summary of The Wind Waker's events.
Spirit Tracks
Niko is Link's roommate in Spirit Tracks. They live together in a 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 evidented by him saying that Link in his Recruit Uniform looks just like an old friend of his when he was young,[1] and by when he gives Link the Shield of Antiquity, he says it belonged to an old friend of his from his adventuring days,[2] and considering that this shield is the same one Link has in Phantom Hourglass, it is a solid connection to the previous game.
Stamps
While Link is waiting for Alfonzo to hook up the Cannon to his train, Alfonzo says he should go visit Niko.[3] When he does, Niko says Link looks just like an old friend of his, which reminds his of the golden days.[4] Something from what he previously stated reminded him of something, as he will jump up and ask Link to do him a favor.[5] He will then proceed to explain to Link that he used to visit so many exotic places and always found a Stamp Station nearby these places. However, he never had anything to put the stamps in. He then continues to ask Link to use his Stamp Book to collect all the stamps He himself missed and bring them to him.[6] He also hints at a prize for bringing the stamps to him.[7] With that, Link is off, looking for all of the Stamps.
Rewards
There are three main rewards that Link can receive from Niko for collecring the Stamps. The first is the Shield of Antiquity, which Link can get by collecting ten Stamps and bringing them back to Niko. The Shield of Antiquity is the best Shield of the game, and thus is very valuable. If Link had already bought a shield, Niko will apologize and say he can switch back whenever he wants.[8] The second prize are the Engineer's Clothes, and they can be won by collecting 15 Stamps. At this time, Niko will offer Link the choice of either staying in his Recruit's Uniform or wearing the Engineer's Clothes, hinting that he prefers the Engineer's Clothes himself.[9] The third and final reward is the Swordsman's Scroll #2. This allows Link to preform a Great Spin Attack. This technique is very useful, and even Niko recognizes it.[10]
