===Majora's Mask=== | ===Majora's Mask=== | ||
''Majora's Mask'' is the first game that the Postman appears in. Within the game, he can only be seen in [[Clock Town]]; additionally, he is the only postman in the town. The Postman rushes to deliver the mail on time. When off duty, he is either resting, or practicing for his duties. Link can train with the Postman for the opportunity to receive a [[Piece of Heart]]. | |||

The Postman is instrumental in the [[Anju]] and [[Kafei]] quest, as he delivers the various letters that are needed throughout the quest. He also (inadvertently) allows Link the opportunity to meet Kafei for the first time. Because the Postman is a Public Servant, he is not allowed to flee the town on the Final Day. After Link receives the [[Letter to Mama]] from the [[Curiosity Shop Owner]], if he decides to allow the Postman to deliver it, [[Madame Aroma]] will relinquish his duties, allowing him to flee. He thanks Link by giving him his old job and symbol of office, the [[Postman's Hat]]. If Link does this, the Postman will be seen in the ending credits returning to Clock Town. | The Postman is instrumental in the [[Anju]] and [[Kafei]] quest, as he delivers the various letters that are needed throughout the quest.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', the Postman runs around [[Castle Town]] delivering letters. If Link gets in his way, the Postman will pause for a moment before jumping over his head. Link has the opportunity to make a [[Kinstone]] fusion with the Postman, which when completed, will inspire [[Marcy]] to contact [[Swiftblade]] to write a [[Swordsman Newsletter|newsletter]]. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', the Postman runs around [[Castle Town]] delivering letters.

The Postman seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' has a very similar look to the Postman seen in ''Majora's Mask''. Similarly to ''Majora's Mask's'' Postman, he runs around delivering mail. There are certain locations in Hyrule that when Link passes through them, the Postman will stop him if he has a letter to deliver. There are multiple different location, including the gate that leads to [[Castle Town]], on the [[Bridge of Eldin]], on the [[Great Bridge of Hylia]], in the [[Hyrule Field#North of Castle Town|Hyrule Field north of Castle Town]], and in the [[Hyrule Field#Faron Province|Hyrule Field in the Faron Province]]. Interestingly, the Postman will stop Link as he passes by these spots no matter what. Even if he is in wolf form, the Postman will somehow be able to recognize it as Link, and stop him so he can deliver the mail. This ability is never explained in-game. | |||
The Postman also has six secret locations where he is not delivering mail to Link. The first is in [[Telma's Bar]], in the small section to the right ([[Nintendo Wii|Wii]]) of the entrance. Here, he can be heard trying to decide what to order.{{Ref|TP|5696|Postman}} The second location is in [[Zora's Domain]], where he can be heard trying to determine whom he should deliver a letter written to Mr. Zora.{{Ref|TP|8544|Postman}} The third locale is in the barn at the [[Ordon Ranch]], where he is feeding a letter to an [[Ordon Goat]].{{Ref|TP|4161|Postman}} The Postman is seen again in the kitchen area of the [[Elde Inn]], where he is attempting to dry a letter he dropped into the [[Kakariko Hot Spring|hot spring]].{{Ref|TP|4343|Postman}} The fifth location is in [[Zora's River]], where he can be seen on one of the ledges during [[Plumm|Plumm's]] mini-game. The sixth and final location is also the most bizarre. He can be found on the upper ledge of the 50th floor of the [[Cave of Ordeals]]. However, the Postman will only appear on the ledge on Link's second time through the Cave of Ordeals, not the first. He will say to Link that he thinks Link is lost, and then mumbles that, ''"It's got to be around here somewhere..."''{{Ref|TP|6966|Postman}} It is unknown what he is referring to. | |||
