Mako

"Good work, Gonzo! Really! Just top notch! It's funny, though... I'm thinking this is maybe the first time you've shown such wit... Such cunning..."

- Mako

Mako is a short, seemingly older member of Tetra's pirate crew, who is the intellectual of the group. According to his figurine, he is a genius at inventing and becomes unstoppable when angry, which usually happens when a stranger touches his glasses. He constantly carries a thick book around, in which he keeps a knife. Likely intentionally, he bears resemblance to Professor Elvin Gadd from Luigi's Mansion.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Mako is first seen on the deck of the ship while they travel to the Forsaken Fortress. If spoken to, he tells Link that Niko below is going to put him through some sort of test as an initiation rite, and that new "swabbies" always get stuck with the hardest work. Once the fortress has been reached, Mako is surprised that Niko's test was easy.

During the pirate's raid on the Bomb Shop, Mako congratulates Gonzo on his "tricking" Quill into thinking he cared about Link's safety, but then notes that he has never shown such "cunning" before. He then jokes that if Gonzo and Tetra had a child, they would be the smartest pirate ever, much to Gonzo's embarrassment. As they leave, Mako asks Gonzo what Niko's password to the ship is, and Gonzo repeats it loud enough for the hiding Link to hear.

In Aryll's letter to Link, she tells him Mako is normally quiet, but gets annoyed when she tries to take his glasses, which only encourages to do it more often. Mako finally appears in the ending with the other pirates.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
In The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, Mako appears with the other pirates in the Japanese and Korean-exclusive Navi Trackers mode.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Mako first appears in the opening, where he tells Tetra they have reached the spot where the Ghost Ship has been spotted, though she snaps at him due to calling her by her abandoned Princess Zelda identity. He and the other pirates watch Tetra board the ship once it appears, and gasps when she screams from it. He is later seen in the ending, where he and Niko wave to them from the pirate ship. After Tetra gets mad at them for not following too, Mako confusedly tells her she was only gone for about ten minutes, and suggests she was only having a bad dream.
