Nyave

"There isn't a person alive who isn't happy to get a present!"

- Nyave

Nyave is a cowardly sea guard in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. He can be found in his ship in the southwest corner of the Southwestern Sea. He wields a pitchfork and has a broken cooking pot for a helmet. He aspires to be a great cook like his older brother Nyeve in order to find someone to marry. Once per day, his ship is boarded by five Umi Blins, who are joined by a Zora Warrior once the one in the cave on Molida Island has been fought. Instead of fighting the invaders, Nyave plays dead in the middle of the ship. If Link fends off the attackers and talks to Nyave, he admits to playing dead out of fear and rewards him with a random amount of random treasures that he has found floating on the water. When this is repeated, his excuse for laying down has shifted to him oversleeping, but will reward him with more treasures.

He also takes part in the game's trade sequence; returning his lost Guard Notebook will prompt him to reward him with a Wood Heart, a prized delicacy.
