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.

??? is a mysterious hand that first appeared in a minor side quest in Majora's Mask, and has also appeared in Oracle of Ages.

Origins

"In the original Legend of Zelda game, a gigantic hand appears and grabs you at the entrance to a dungeon. Actually, that has nothing to do with Skyward Sword. [Laughs] It's actually something from a Japanese ghost story. Not a specific ghost story. There are some ghost stories in Japan where — when you are sitting in the bathroom in the traditional style of the Japanese toilet — a hand is actually starting to grab you from beneath. It's a very scary story."

Majora's Mask

??? makes its first appearance in Majora's Mask. It can be found inside the rest room of the Stock Pot Inn in Clock Town.[1] ??? appears as a dull-colored hand that stretches out of the toilet. It is found here on any night from 12 AM to 6 AM. ??? is one of the twenty characters that has a spot in the Bombers' Notebook.

If Link enters the Stock Pot Inn and talks to ??? in the aforementioned timeslot, ??? will ask Link for paper.[3][4] Link can satisfy ???'s need for paper by giving it any of the Title Deeds or Letters.[5] ??? immediately exclaims with joy,[6] and then disappears into the toilet. A few seconds later, ??? re-surfaces, and tells Link that he saved them.[7] As thanks, ??? offers Link a Piece of Heart which had previously fallen into the toilet.[8] This completes ???'s spot in the Bombers' Notebook.

Oracle of Ages

Hand-Ages-Sprite.png

??? 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, Bombs, and Bombchus. Depending on which item is dropped into the hole, ??? responds differently, giving a reaction that relates to the item dropped in.

??? plays a pivotal role in the Oracle of Ages Trading Sequence. After Link acquires the Stationery from the Postman, he can give it to ???. After apparently using it to wipe itself, ??? gives Link the much less desired Stink Bag. Link later uses the Stink Bag in order to clear the sinuses of the Tokay Chef.
