??? resides in the [[Toilet]] in Western [[Lynna City]] in the [[Past]] in ''Oracle of Ages''. Its hand reaches out of a hole in the ground. Link can drop numerous items into the hole, including various [[Mystical Seeds]], a pot, [[Bomb]]s, and [[Bombchu]]s. Depending on which item is dropped into the hole, ??? responds differently, giving a reaction that relates to the item dropped in. | ??? resides in the [[Toilet]] in Western [[Lynna City]] in the [[Past]] in ''Oracle of Ages''.

??? plays a pivotal role in the [[Oracle of Ages Trading Sequence]]. After Link acquires the [[Stationery]] from the [[Postman]], he can give it to ???.

In ''Skyward Sword'', the toilet hand is called Phoeni, and has a slightly larger role than in previous titles. Additionally, it was confirmed to be female by [[Fi]],{{Ref|name=female}} and looks more like a glove than a hand. Once again, Phoeni in ''Skyward Sword'' is asking for paper from within a toilet{{Ref|SS|3784|Phoeni}}, this time inside [[Knight Academy]]'s [[Restroom]] on [[Skyloft]].If Link gives [[Cawlin's Letter]] to Phoeni, she falls in love with Cawlin after reading it.{{Ref|SS|3793|Phoeni}} If Link visits Cawlin in [[Groose|Groose's]] room at night, Phoeni can be seen stroking Cawlin's back, giving him nightmares. Since Phoeni is so happy at this new found love, she rewards [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] with five [[Gratitude Crystal]]s. Unfortunately, Cawlin is unable to sleep for the rest of the game, as Phoeni stays with him every night. | |||
