The Postman is a recurring character in the Zelda games. In most games he is shown as a workaholic who conforms to a strict schedule. He is often seen jogging around in an attempt to mail all his leaders on time.

Background

Majora's Mask

The Postman first appears in Termina in Majora's Mask, where he lives and works in Clock Town. Every morning he collects the mail, in the afternoon he delivers them, and at night he performs timing exercises and offers anyone who stops by a chance to play. As the Carnival of Time approaches, the Postman panicks. He doesn't want to be caught beneath the moon when it falls from the sky, but he has his schedule for the next day and cannot break his code. But on the night of the third day Link gives him an emergency letter for Madame Aroma, and he quickly delivers it to her. She is surpised to find that the Postman is still in town, so she orders him to evacuate. The Postman thanks Link for helping him and gives the boy his hat. The Postman then leaves to run in the wild Termina Field, where he can make his own schedule.

Other Games

The Postman apparently exists in Hyrule as well. In Twilight Princess he is constantly on the run, and often meets up with Link to give him letters. On his offtime, the Postman can be seen feeding messy letters to goats in the ranch of Ordon Village or ordering food at Telma's bar in Hyrule Castle Town.

Another Postman lived in the Lynna Village of Labrynna four hundred years into the past of Oracle of Ages. In this game the Postman needs something to keep time. If Link gives him a Poe Clock, the Postman gives Link a free Stationary in return and zips off to deliver the mail.

The Postman also runs his route through Hyrule Village in The Minish Cap.

Trivia

  • In Majora's Mask, the Postman was the Terminan version of Hyrule's Running Man.
  • The Rito postman Koboli from The Wind Waker has a strange physical resemblance to the Postman. His figurine states that an ancestor of his in a time long past was also a postman.
