Igos du Ikana is the fallen king of the once prosperous Ikana Kingdom who appears as a miniboss in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Background

He was the former ruler of the old kingdom of Ikana. Although the background is a bit vague on the subject, Ikana came under attack in a huge war. Ultimately Ikana lost and the king, Igos du Ikana, and his many followers were cursed to be ghosts and undead creatures rather than pass into the afterlife. Like his followers, Igos du Ikana too suffered this fate. He stayed inside the ruined Ikana castle in his throne room from that point on.

When Link went through Ikana Castle, he met Igos du Ikana and his two lackies. His two soldiers was a thin one and the other a thicker boned one that tended to grunt. Igos spoke of how many of his servants had fallen namelessly to Link. He then used his powers to block the light from the room and sat himself on his throne. He then issued his top two soldiers to deal with Link. By bringing the light back in, Link thwarted the two minions.

Igos then challenged Link himself. He fought with sword and shield like his minion, but also breathed a toxic gas that damaged Link. Link was able to fell the King of Ikana as well. Afterwards the two minions returned only as heads and began bickering. Igos appeared afterwards and berated the two, saying that such petty arguments is what reduced Ikana to its current state. Igos then spoke to Link and told him that to bring light back to the land, he would have to purge Stone Tower of the evil that infected it. He then taught Link the Elegy of Emptiness. He then vanished, leaving the fate of the ruined Ikana in Link's hands.

Trivia

• The design for Igos and his two lackies seem to be similar to the design of the Stalfos seen in The Wind Waker.
• If Link wears the Captain's Hat while fighting Igos's two lackies, Igos will mistake Link for Skull Keeta for a few seconds, before realizing he is too small and that he was deceived.
