Terry is the protagonist and playable character in Contact for the Nintendo DS. He can be renamed by the player; his default name is simply Terry, just as the player character from The Legend of Zelda series is Link, but can be altered at the beginning of the game. Terry joins the professor on his journey to recover his cells that power his ship, unknowingly being sucked into an adventure that the professor will send him on. By helping the professor recover the cells, Terry will be able to go home, where his worried mom awaits him.
