Swordsman

The Swordsman is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. He is the owner of the Swordsman's School in West Clock Town where he will give Link sword training. He sells intermediate training for one rupee and master training for ten rupees.

Personality
At first, the Swordsman appears to very brave, as he boasts about not fearing the Moon, stating that as long as he is in Clock Town there is nothing to fear and that he will slice the Moon into pieces with his swordsmanship when it gets close enough. If Link visits the Swordsman's School when the moon is less then six hours from hitting Clock Town, however, he will find that The Swordsman is gone and there is a sign on the back wall stating that he has gone on an essential holiday. If Link strikes the wall with his sword, it will collapse revealing the Swordsman curled up in the corner crying about how scared he is and how much he does not want to die.
