Biography[]
Majora's Mask[]
In Majora's Mask, Mutoh is the head of the Clock Town Carnival Committee in charge of constructing the fireworks-viewing tower for the Carnival of Time. During the first days, Mutoh is in the Mayor's Office, arguing with Captain Viscen about whether or not to flee the town in the wake of the impending Moon. Link can use the Couple's Mask obtained from Anju and Kafei to stop the argument, earning him a Piece of Heart.
Most of the time, Mutoh maintains watch over the building of the tower, while the other Carpenters are working on supplies and construction. At night of the Final Day, he stands at the foot of the completed tower, after the other Carpenters have abandoned him and the town, yelling at the Moon, "If you're gonna fall, then fall already!"
He indicates that he has some sons who have already fled the town. He also wonders about the location of his wife (whether she has fled or gone missing is undetermined) and dislikes Kafei for going missing and compares him to his sons.
Oracle of Ages[]
In Oracle of Ages, Mutoh appears with his Carpenters in the Nuun Highlands, where they are repairing a bridge that connects to Symmetry Village. However, all of his Carpenters have run off and are missing, and he asks Link to find them. Link must call for the aide of one of his animal companions to help locate them, as the landscape of Nuun Highlands is harsh and changes according to Link's companion.
The Minish Cap[]
Carpenters
Mutoh and his Carpenters appear in and around Hyrule Town in The Minish Cap. At the start of the game, they can all be found at north gate of Hyrule Town repairing the damage caused by Vaati. After Link obtains the White Sword, Mutoh can be found in the Carpenters Shop, where he remains for the rest of the game. He boasts that his ancestors built Hyrule Castle, and tells Link that he is looking for a challenge. If Link Fuses Kinstone Pieces with Bremor (who can be found standing by the Post Office after Link obtains the Flippers), Mutoh will become motivated to construct a new Vacant House for Gorman to rent out, satisfying his desire for meaningful work.
Mutoh is one of the potential characters to have a random Kinstone Fusion available.
