Noko is an Anouki in Spirit Tracks.[2] He resides in Anouki Village in the Snow Realm.
Biography
Noko lives in a house in the southern portion of Anouki Village. When Link visits the village for the first time, he is tasked by Honcho, the Anouki chief, to pair up all of the Anouki in order to put together a village watch for all the monsters that have begun to appear after the Spirit Tracks vanished. Noko comments to Link that he dislikes Anouki who wear yellow clothes.[3] Due to his preferences, Link ends pairing him up with an Anouki named Kofu.
Noko also works at the village's spring, creating Mega Ice, an ice so cold it can freeze lava. However, when Link needs to acquire some Mega Ice, he learns that an Ice Chuchu fell into the village's spring, ruining the water.[4] Link must bring Noko aboard the Spirit Train and take him to the Wellspring Station, where he can resume making Mega Ice.[5]
