Gorman is the name of a character that appears in Majora's Mask as a Terminian counterpart of Ingo. In fact there are three Gorman brothers in all, who are all identical.
Background
Majora's Mask
There were three Gorman brothers, all identical twins. While the middle brother left to go into show business, the older and younger stayed behind to manage the family business. However competition from the nearby Romani Ranch made times hard for the two brothers. Besides spreading nasty rumors, they arranged to have the way to Romani Ranch blocked. However this small boost was short lived when the path was opened up again by Link.
Somehow the brothers had come into possession of Garo's Mask. Using the power of the mask they summoned strange ghost like beings to invade Romani Ranch and steal the cattle. However Romani and Link teamed up to stop the ghosts long enough for the sun to rise and make the ghosts leave. Since this plan failed, the next day they disguised their selves and went after Cremia's shipment to the Milk Latte in Clock Town. Again Link stopped the two brothers and prevented them from ruining the shipment. Later on Link talked to the two while riding on Epona. The brothers challenged him to a race, which Link won. As a reward they gave him Garo's mask, since they decided they had no use for it.
The middle brother, also Gorman, went on to be the leader of the self-named Gorman Troupe. As a child he heard the Indigo-Gos perform the 'Ballad of the Windfish' which inspired him to become a performer so that he might meet the band. Along the way his dream became lost, but he managed to form a troupe consisting of himself, Guru-Guru, the Rosa sisters, and the juggling twins. He had managed to get booked to perform during the Carnival of Time the same year the moon was falling. Three days before the carnival he was told by Madame Aroma that the show would be cancelled.
Finding out he had been cancelled took its toll on him so much that he slept all day and stayed out all night away from the Troupe. He could not bring himself to tell them that they would not be performing. While drowning his sorrows at the Milk Bar, he overheard Toto sound-testing the Ballad of the Windfish with Link's four different forms. As he heard each individual part he called it rubbish. When he heard the whole song put together, he was reminded of his youth and why he got into show business. He was so choked up he gave Link the Circus Performer's Mask. The next day he planned to go ahead and leave town, although he played a game of cards with the jugglers. However once the moon was stopped, his group did play at the Carnival of Time (and he presumably got to meet the Indigo-Gos).
The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, Gorman happened to own a house in Hyrule Village. Thanks to a kinstone fusion, he got the idea to sell a house he owned and wasn't using. After selling that house, he later on had a house built by Mutoh and the Carpenters, which he then decided to sell as well. After the money made from both endeavors, he started considering breeding pets, although whether he did or not remains to be seen.
Trivia
- Like Ingo, Gorman is based on Luigi in the same way that Talon is based on Mario.
- In Majora's Mask, the two Gorman brothers at the ranch will be affected by the Circus Leader's Mask (which resembles their brother with a constant stream of tears). If you wear the mask, the two are unable to focus on being mean. If you wear it while fighting them off (when they are chasing Cremia's shipment), they'll be too bummed out to even attack.
