- "That milk they produce down yonder at Romani Ranch is watered down a bit. It's not worth drinkin'. We don't do that kinda thing here. Ours is the real deal. It's always fresh and full of vitamins."
- — The Gorman Brothers
The Gorman Brothers are two characters in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. They are two of twenty people listed in the Bombers' Notebook.

[edit] Biography
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The Gorman Brothers are farmers who live on Milk Road near Romani Ranch. It is very apparent they are rude, malicious people, as evidenced in their actions like insulting and stealing. When Link speaks to them during the day while riding Epona they make fun of Link's horse and challenge him to a race. If he beats them they reward him with the Garo's Mask, provided that Link promises not to tell anyone about him beating them.
They will try to sell you milk, saying it taste better than the "watered down" milk in Romani Ranch. But, once you buy it, it says it appears to be watered down anyway. It appears to be stolen, overpriced milk from the neighboring farm, Romani Ranch.
[edit] Alien Invasion
On the First Day, if Link talks to Romani she tells him that strange "They" show up close to the Carnival of Time and steal their cows. She recruits Link as her assistant to help her fend them off with his bow. It is theorized that the Gorman Brothers were actually behind the yearly attacks; if Link inspects the Garo poster in the Music Box House in Ikana Canyon, Pamela's Father will mention a large number of Garo sightings in "the ranch to the south". Since the Garo's Mask is able to summon Garos and the brothers each own their own, it would appear that the Gormans were using the Garos to eliminate their competitor's milk in time for the Carnival of Time.
[edit] Milk Road Run
If Link successfully drives off the aliens on the First Day and talks to Cremia, she will tell him she is making a delivery of milk to town and offers to give him a ride. On the way out that evening, she says that lately the ranch has fallen prey to vandals (probably the brothers). As they go down Milk Road, they find the way blocked, forcing Cremia to travel through the Gorman Brother's Race Course, or, as Cremia notes, "ugly country". Before going through, she warns Link to have his Bow ready for any pursuers that might appear. Sure enough, when Cremia starts through the Gorman Brothers, disguised in Garo's Masks, pursue on horses, armed with pitchforks. They then take turns riding up to try and smash the jugs of Romani Milk. Link must shoot the one who does; once shot, the brother will fall back. Once out of the race course, Cremia pulls the wagon into the Gorman Brother's side area of Milk Road. If at least one bottle of milk is safe by the end, Cremia will reward Link with Romani's Mask (if the Link rewinds time and goes through the trial again, she will reward Link with Rupees, a Chateau Romani, or a hug). If Link wears the Circus Leader's Mask while the Gorman Brothers are pursuing, they won't try to break the jars. Ironically, the only way to obtain the Circus Leader's Mask requires obtaining Romani's Mask first, meaning that the player must have beaten the run first anyway.
[edit] Third Day
If Link does not stop the ghosts from stealing Romani Ranch cows on the First Day, the Gorman Brothers will gloat about how they are now the only ones around that sell milk.
[edit] Family
If Link talks to the Gorman Brothers with the Circus Leader's Mask on, they will become somewhat emotional and discuss their brother (the troupe leader in Clock Town, who gave Link the mask), talking about how he left them to pursue show business. They will appear very uncomfortable and ask Link to remove the mask.
