ocarina of time: damp'e the grave keeper

how do you think he died over the 7 years. i have wondered this from the second i saw his ghost and still now

Old age, probably. Stress from his job. Maybe he was killed by one of Ganondorf's minions.

i have always thought a poe might have attacked him in his hut.

Old age. For the time Link is a child he could not walk well. So probably in those 7 years he felt ill and died. That illness probably was from a fall he could not walk well so it would not be a surprise if he had a fall. He felled ill because of that and along his old age he went bye-bye

Yeah I'm gonna have to go with old age as well.


I don't think he was murdered or something, otherwise someone would have said so in the village. So it looks like he just died of natural causes from old age.

Either old age or from some sort of genetic defect or complication resulting from said defect.

Back problems, definitely back problems. I mean shoveling is no easy task and he wasn't a big dude.

Heres a bleak and terrifying theory, maybe he was buried alive while mining out that huge catacomb under the graveyard!!!!Woooooooooooo

Damp'e seemed like a gentle soul, more than likely he did die from old age. It is sad to think he died from a Poe attack so lets go with he died peacefully in his sleep

The little boy got old enough that Dampe took him under a tombstone to race him claiming he was "pretty fast". They got so caught up trying to beat the other, they both fell off the cliff before they made it to the finish. Dampe decided to stay under the tombstone as a ghost while the little boy was like "♥♥♥♥♥♥ it" and went off to make let's play videos of OoT on youtube.

He doesn't look troubled as a ghost, so I'm going to say natural causes as well.

Well castle town was destroyed and an evil king took over and there were monsters everywhere.... so Im gonna go with: Monster killed him!

Natural causes could very well be the case, but being in a graveyard with Poe's everywhere also get me thinking that he could've died that way.

Well let's do some basic analysis.
Here's a pic of the bloke: We can see that he's at the least 28 years old. He's bald and has a broken body. This could imply that he's actually much older than just 28.

two timelines right? One where Link prevents the events of OOT by getting ganny executed, and the other where he goes through the 7 years frozen and then in a matter of months to years finishes off ganny atop the castle of evil 666.


Prevention Timeline: I'm not sure if he dies here but if it was a death it would have been from old age or an accident.
Full event Timeline: He would have likely died of old age, as I don't think Kak village was attacked by evil forces. If not, it's most probable that he was murdered.
