King Mutoh as seen in-game

During his quest to defeat Bellum, Link arrives at the Isle of Ruins looking for Aquanine, the last Pure Metal needed to forge the Phantom Sword, the only weapon that can defeat Bellum. The ghosts of the Four Knights of the Cobble Kingdom; Brant, Bremeur, Doylan and Max, help Link enter King Mutoh's tomb, and tell him of a monster that is disturbing the King's peaceful slumber. After defeating the stone soldier, Eox, Link enters the resting place of King Mutoh who has been calmed by the monster's defeat. The King is distraught to find that the Ocean King is in need of assistance and presents Link with the Aquanine before returning to his slumber.

After the monster lurking in his kingdom has been defeated, he will send Link a Power Gem through the postal service.

Etymology
