History
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Dampé is located in the Kakariko Village Graveyard. He sleeps during the day but is awake during the night.
When Link is a child, Dampé wakes up at sunset and hosts the Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour for three hours, where participants can dig for treasure in the graveyard. During the day, a child walks around the graveyard, imitating Dampé. If Link tries to pull on a gravestone, the kid threatens to tell Dampé.
During the time Link is an adult, Dampé is dead. Dampé's Ghost is located in his grave, where Link must keep up with him along a path to be rewarded the Hookshot, a treasure that he once found while digging the graveyard. Even though Dampé is not an enemy, Navi provides information on him if targeted by Link.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)
In the Nintendo Switch remake for The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Dampé is located in his shack on Tal Tal Heights. His main role is to craft chambers, which can be arranged into Chamber Dungeons.
