- “Well, by my golden gizzard! A slow-toe child! Whatever brings you here, slow-toe? You stand in the presence of Golden Chief Cylos! I'm so fantastic that I'm the only frog hereabouts who leaps by cyclone! Slick, eh?”
- – Golden Chief Cylos, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Golden Chief Cylos is a large golden frog in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. He has a black, curled mustache, a pair of long, turquoise antennae, a prominent navel, and a toothy grin. He is the leader of the golden frogs found throughout the see, to whom he refers to as his "gilt minions." He is capable of traveling via cyclone, and grants Link the ability to do so as well, thus making him a less antagonistic analogue to the similarly named Cyclos from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Cylos resides on the Uncharted Island, having been provided it by Oshus as a hideaway. In order to reach him, Link must solve a riddle pertaining to the island's whale-like shape. Once Link gains his audience, he recognizes the Phantom Hourglass, and realizes he must be a friend of Oshus. He then gives him the Cyclone Slate as a gift to help him move around the sea swiftly. Ciel thanks him and refers to him as "Golden Majesty," though Cylos corrects her to the proper "Golden Chief."
Cylos is mentioned by a recurring shouting inhabitant of Mercay Island after Link obtains the third Sea Chart. He refers to him as the "chief of the frogs."

Trivia[edit]
- Depending on how far along in the game the player is when they meet him, Cylos's dialogue varies; if he is found before recovering the petrified Tetra, the Ghost Ship is mentioned and Cylos solely refers to his friend as Oshus, while if he is found afterward, Bellum is instead mentioned and both Oshus and the Ocean King are referred to. Additionally, Cylos's only mentions Oshus finding him a safe haven before finding Tetra, with speaking to him after that resulting in the more vague "took good care of me."
