Appearing in six games, he is the gravekeeper and caretaker of the [[Graveyard (Disambiguation)|Graveyard]] in each respective game, except for the HD remaster of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019)|Link's Awakening]]'', where he provides access to the [[Chamber Dungeon]]s.
 
==Appearances==
===Ocarina of Time===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Dampé is the gravekeeper of the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]]. During [[Link]]'s childhood, Dampé can be found patrolling the graveyard at night and starts his own [[Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour|Gravedigging Tour]], upon request for 10 [[Rupee]]s, digging up anything from Rupees to a [[Piece of Heart|Heart Piece]] that Link can pick up.{{Ref|OoT|1496|Dampé}} The items that he digs up appear randomly. During the day, he is at his shack sleeping, and if Link tries to interact with him, he tells the young hero to go away.{{Ref|OoT|493|Dampé}}
 
If Link enters Dampé's house at night while he is gravedigging, Link can read Dampé's diary, where he writes that he found a treasure that "stretches and goes 'boing'". The diary can also be found when Link is an adult, but what's written in it will differ, telling Link to enter Dampé's grave and that he will let Link have his treasure.
   
   
Sometime during Link's seven year slumber, Dampé dies and become a ghost. When Link digs up his grave, he can find Dampé's ghost in a maze beneath the grave. Dampé will challenge Link to a race, and if Link wins, Dampé will allow Link to take his treasure, the [[Hookshot]]. Playing again and winning in under a minute will yield him a [[Piece of Heart]].

===Majora's Mask===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Dampé is the gravekeeper of the [[Ikana Graveyard]], which is a haunted graveyard, yet he is afraid of ghosts. On the [[Final Day]], Link can find Dampé [[Beneath the Graveyard]], where he admits to be searching for the Ikana Royal Family's treasure. However, he lost his lantern and cannot see. He, in turn, asks Link to guide him using the light of his fairy, [[Tatl]].{{Ref|MM|3047-3052|Dampé}} Leading him to the [[Soft Soil]] spots causes him to dig there.{{Ref|MM|3061-3062|Dampé}} After he has dug up three Blue Flames, a [[Big Poe]] appears. Since Dampé is afraid of ghosts, he runs away to his house, and if Link defeats the Poe, he is rewarded with a [[Treasure Chest|chest]] that contains an [[Bottle|Empty Bottle]].{{Ref|MM|3066|Dampé}}
 
===Four Swords Adventures===
[[File:FSA-Dampe.png|left]]Dampe is the only human inhabitant of [[The Swamp]] in ''Four Swords Adventures'', where he lives by himself in a house in the northwest of the graveyard. However, his house is surrounded by many [[Giant Ghini]]s that prevent the Links from entering. In order to enter Dampe's home, the Links must stand on four separate switches to light up the torches, defeating the Giant Ghinis.
 
When the Links enter his house, Dampe warns them that it is dangerous outside, so the Links shouldn't be wondering around the graveyard. Recently, a [[Shadow Link|shadowy guy]] has been stirring up trouble recently who looks just like the Links. Dampe tells them his name and explains he is supposed to be the caretaker of the graveyard, but he cannot take care of anything right now and is helpless as the creatures that have overrun the area are pleased and treat [[Hyrule]] like their new home.
 
Dampe then demands the Links to listen to a legend. According to the legend, a [[Dark Tribe]] were sealed away into a [[Dark Mirror|mirror]] long ago in which the mirror is supposed to be somewhere in the [[Lost Woods (Four Swords Adventures)|Forest of Light]]. However, the forest has been covered by pitch-black clouds recently, being a Forest of Dark now. Dampe thinks something bad is certainly happening at the forest.{{Ref|FSA|495|Dampe}}
 
During the credits of the game, Dampe can be seen walking outside in the peaceful graveyard when the [[Shrine Maidens|Green Shrine Maiden]] flies through The Swamp.
 
===The Minish Cap===
[[File:Dampé-House-TMC.png|right]]Like in ''Four Swords Adventures'', Dampé is the only living inhabitant in the [[Royal Valley]] where he is the gravedigger at the cemetery there.{{Ref|TMC|2463|[[Soldier]]}} It is said that he has the power to speak with the dead. As a result of this, he fuses the [[Kinstone]]s he digs up with the local ghosts.{{Ref|TMC|661|Figurine Description}} When Link first talks to Dampé, he introduces himself and explains that he is the gravedigger. Dampé proceeds to ask him about what Link mentioned about being called to the Royal Valley by the [[King Gustaf|ghost of a king]]. He informs Link that the ghost is an ancient king of Hyrule who rests there and explains that he has also seen the ghost. As a result of thinking how the king has called Link, Dampé cannot see any reason not to let him in, giving Link the [[Graveyard Key]].{{Ref|TMC|1728|Dampé}}
 
Once Link leaves Dampé's house and gets the Graveyard Key stolen by a [[crow]], Dampé can be found at the gate to the rest of the Royal Valley. When talked to, Dampé asks Link if a crow took the key and flew off into a tree. He then yells for him not to just stand around as the crow will get away. Dampé urges Link to charge at the tree if Link wants the key back. {{Ref|TMC|1729|Dampé}} After Link has reacquired the Graveyard Key from the crow, Dampé tells him that he will open the gate for Link and advices for him to be careful in there.{{Ref|TMC|1730|Dampé}}
 
If Link talks to Dampé after he opens the gate, he gives directions of left, left, left, up, up, and up, but he forgets the last turn,{{Ref|TMC|1731|Dampé}} turning out to be directions for a secret path to the [[Lost Woods]]-like forest in the Royal Valley that leads to 200 [[Mysterious Shell]]s or 100 Rupees if he has collected every [[Figurines|figurine]].
 
After Link has completed the [[Royal Crypt]], he is able to [[Kinstone Fusion|fuse]] Kinstones with Dampé. Link can perform Kinstone fusion by fusing a blue Kinstone with Dampé, opening [[Gina|Gina's]] grave in the Royal Valley that leads to more Kinstone fusions and 100 Mystery Shells. Once he has fused Kinstones with Dampé once, Link is able to come back and fuse again. However, Link needs to fuse a Green Kinstone with Dampé this time, and when he performs the Kinstone fusion, a crack forms in the ground in [[Wind Ruins]] that leads to a chest containing a red Kinstone piece.

===A Link Between Worlds===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', Dampé once again appears as the Gravedigger. He cares for the [[Graveyard (A Link Between Worlds)|Graveyard]] found east of the [[Sanctuary (A Link Between Worlds)|Sanctuary]]. Despite his looks, Dampé is a kind-hearted person that cares for the [[Priest|Priest's]] daughter, [[Seres]]. Link first encounters Dampé in front of the Sanctuary, just before [[Yuga]] makes his first appearance in [[Hyrule]].
 
===Link's Awakening (2019)===
In the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019)|Switch remake]]'' of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', Dampé serves as the way to access the Chamber Dungeons. These are customizable dungeons which can be created using rooms from previously explored dungeons. Dampé presents Link with an array of challenges involving the arrangement of rooms, each with different rewards.
