Poe Guy...?

in OoT...what was the deal with that guy in hyrule that inhabited that jar room and just was collecting poes..

it seemed, well the way they presented him, that we should know who he is...like he had a dramatic change in 7 years..

anyone got any idea?

There was a thread on this a while back suggesting that the poe guy was the soldier in that room 7 years ago...I'll search for it.

*goes to search*

I couldn't find it...sorry. But I do remember some ultra person saying convincingly how the poe buyer was the old soldier. I wish I could be more help...

Well, if you talk to the guard in the past where the Poe man sits in the future, I believe he tells you that he has psychic powers or something like that, which the Poe man also demonstrates to Link.

That ultra person was me . Here's a snippet from my thread explaining about the Poe Salesman:

And we all know that after Ganondorf takes over Hyrule, the house that the soldier is in is occupied by the Poe Salesman, who is very interested in ghosts aswell. This is undeniable proof that the bored soldier does indeed become the Poe Salesman.

It's quite a cool little inclusion into the game.

I totally agree with ZeldaGamer21, I was about to pull up the same quote, I'm glad I waited until I finished reading this thread first though!

SOLIDER IN GUARDHOUSE BY ENTRANCE:
Man, I am SO bored...
Things would sure be more interesting if there were more...
troubles in the world...
Hey, that's just between you and me, OK?

GHOST SHOP OWNER:
My shop is the only Ghost Shop in Hyrule.
Because of the great Ganondorf, it is a fine time for a business like this... heh heh heh...
Oh...I can only hope the world gets even worse!

I'm quite sure that these two quotes support the same conclusion.

Wow, interesting LionHart, I can see where those fit in together, quite a big chunk of evidence there... This is interesting, i'm gonig to keep checknig here

Actually, I answered the question first, not Lex.

Yeah I remember that, I think he died, and if you talk to him as young Link he says that he is interested in poes, so as adult Link, he's a Poe Freek.

I never said he died.

He doesn't have a name in Terminia. He's seen blocking the path to Ikana. He strangely commented about Link's sword a lot.

he was also in the corrupted village he gave you a poe challenge
