The '''Postmaster''',{{Ref|name=Quote1}}{{Ref|name=PHlet|PH|701|Letter from Postmaster}}{{Ref|name=STlet|ST|417-418|Letter from Postmaster}} also known as the '''Postmistress''' in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'',{{Ref|name=Quote2}} is the title of a character that appears in ''Majora's Mask'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''.

==''Majora's Mask''==

She is referred to as both the Postmistress and Postmaster by the Postman.{{Ref|name=Quote1}}{{Ref|name=Quote2}} It is unknown what her exact duties are as the Postmaster; however, she does seem to have some control over the Postman, as when the Postman doesn't want to neglect his schedule and flee,{{Ref|MM|4613|Postman}} Aroma orders him to flee,{{Ref|MM|4673|[[Madame Aroma]]}} relieving the Postman of his duties.{{Ref|pg. 118|When [Madame Aroma] receives the letter, she'll relieve the postman of his duty.|''[[Nintendo Power Majora's Mask Strategy Guide]]''}} The Postman obliges,{{Ref|MM|4618|Postman}} giving [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] the [[Postman's Hat]].{{Ref|pg. 118|If you talk to [the Postman] afterward, he'll graciously give you his Postman's Hat.|''[[Nintendo Power Majora's Mask Strategy Guide]]''}}

 

==''Spirit Tracks''==
