"Shrimp! If you're going to go sailing on a pirate ship, you better be prepared to become a pirate, yeah? 'Cause if you get scared and start begging and crying at us to let you off the ship somewheres, then you're guaranteed to end up as shark bait!"
— Gonzo

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Gonzo first appears in The Wind Waker as a head pirate under Tetra's command. Even though he is remarkably huge, he is in fact softer than he looks. He does not seem to bond with Link while he was on board with them, and is more the muscle of the crew. Nudge actually has even greater strength than Gonzo, but he guards Tetra's room, leaving Gonzo as second-in-command to Tetra (or as far as true pirate ranking would go he would be first mate).

Gonzo seems to be rather clever, as he tricks Quill into revealing where Jabun resides, and how to gain access to his shrine. Gonzo is also good at convincing; this is shown during the Endless Night when Tetra tells her crew that they are setting sail for Outset Island the second they are done loading the bombs. Gonzo does not like this and convinces her to let them stay in town, eat and get some sleep.

Interestingly, a man resembling Gonzo appears in a painting in Hyrule Castle depicting the Royal Family of Hyrule, all of whom bear likenesses of all seven of the pirates.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Gonzo reappears as a member of Tetra's Pirates. He is seen at the beginning of the game, and once more at the end, as Link and Tetra are reunited with the crew.

Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
