Biography
The Wind Waker
Talent: Drawing pictures
Long ago, Salvatore hoped to be a famous painter, but that dream didn't last long. He eventually returned to his hometown and came up with his current business plan.
It's been a huge success, allowing him to purchase his own island, where he has opened up the second store in what he hopes will become a huge chain.
He's now busy trying to think up that one idea that will spark his next big endeavor.
InThe Wind Waker, Salvatore runs theSquid-HuntMinigame inside thelighthouse onWindfall Island, and also theCannon Minigame onSpectacle Island. To fit in with the pirate-theme of his games, he introduces them with a routine in which he pretends to beTetra or a fearsome pirate captain, using wooden cutouts which he pokes his face through, and putting on a pirate voice.[2] Aside from when he's using the wooden cut-out pictures, he is very unenthusiastic about the job and always seems bored.[5] At nighttime, he sleeps standing up at his desk, holding up a wooden cutout of himself sleeping.
Four Swords Adventures
Phantom Hourglass
Salvatore appears again inPhantom Hourglass. He runs theCannon Game onBannan Island and behaves similarly to his first appearance inThe Wind Waker.[6] He explains theMini-Game with a dramatic wooden puppet show, but otherwise seems bored with his job.[7]
IfLink plays the Cannon Minigame at least once, he will receive aLetter from Salvatore after completing theTemple of Wind. In the Letter, Salvatore invites him to return and play the Mini-Game again, whilst lamenting his own boredom.[1]

Nomenclature
Salvatore is anItalian name derived from Salvador.[8] This could be a reference to the famous Spanish painterSalvador Dalí, which would match his use of wooden cut-out paintings during the introduction of his games. "Salvatore" is a common name in Italy, and this is probably the reason why his name was changed only in the Italian language. The Italian name Arraffaele comes from the word "arraffare," which means "to seize" or "to steal", and another common Italian name, Raffaele.
