''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]]. | ''Majora's Mask'' is the first game that the Postman appears in.

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 [[Man from the Curiosity Shop]], if he decides to allow the Postman to deliver it, [[Madame Aroma]], the [[Postmaster]], will relinquish the Postman's duties, allowing | The Postman is instrumental in the [[Anju]] and [[Kafei]] quest, as he delivers the various letters that are needed throughout the quest.

If Link does this, the Postman is seen in the ending credits returning to Clock Town. | ||

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, inspires [[Marcy]] to contact [[Swiftblade]] to write a [[Swordsman Newsletter|newsletter]]. | |||

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 locations, 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 stops Link as he passes by these spots no matter what, even if Link is in [[Wolf Link|wolf form]], the Postman is somehow 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 to whom he should deliver a letter | The Postman is first seen while Link is on his way to the [[Eldin Province]]. However, the Eldin Province is covered in [[Twilight]], so the Postman stops Link in [[Hyrule Field]]. He tells Link to go no further, as he says a ''"black wall"'' blocks the way ahead.{{Ref|TP|2990|Postman}} He remarks that he had planned to deliver a few letters, but that it know seems impossible.{{Ref|TP|2991|Postman}} Before heading off in the opposite direction, he hands Link his first letter,{{Ref|TP|2993|Postman}} which is a letter from the Postman. The letter tells Link how the Postman will deliver Link's letters: by running to him at high speeds.{{Ref|TP|1982|Letter from Postman}} | ||

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 only appears on the ledge on Link's second time through the Cave of Ordeals, not the first. He says 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. | |||

The Postman, unlike his previous appearances, bears a similar resemblance to those of the [[Rito]] race. Although appearing mostly human, he has wings and is able to fly like any other Rito.

Although appearing mostly human, he has wings and is able to fly like any other Rito. If at any time a Postbox shows a sign of having a letter addressed to Link, the Postman shows up and reads the letter to Link himself. Because of this new postal service, there in no Letter collection screen. | ||
The Postman is first seen on [[Cannon Island]]. He is sitting on the Postbox waiting for Link. Once Link approaches, he introduces himself as the Postman, telling Link he is likely going to see Link around throughout the game.{{Ref|PH|724|Postman}} From then on, all interactions with the Postman are for delivering letters purposes only. The Postman is not involved in any side quests at all. | |||
The Postman also rewards Link if the player completes a certain number of [[Big Play]]s in multiplayer mode. | |||
The Postman | ====Letter from Postmaster==== | ||
{{Theory}} | |||
The first letter the Postman delivers to Link is sent by the [[Postmaster]], and basically says that the Postman is a great worker and urges Link to be nice to the Postman.{{Ref|PH|701|Postman}} After the Postman finishes reading it out loud, he remarks how awkward it was to read aloud, even adding in that it's ''"Not like I wrote it..."''.{{Ref|PH|728|Postman}} It is theorized that the Postman might have written this letter to Link as a way to boost his confidence. However, this theory has not been proved. | |||

Although, unlike his ''Phantom Hourglass'' counterpart, the Postman in ''Spirit Tracks'' does not have wings, and thus cannot fly. He instead runs to deliver letters and other various parcels, like his previous incarnations. | ||
The Postman is first seen in [[Castle Town]] while Link is on his way to his engineer graduation ceremony. He delivers Link's first letter; a letter from the Postmaster. The Postman is seen again on numerous occasions throughout the game, everytime delivering Link a letter. The Postman is not involved in any side quests. | |||
