Training Game

Sword Training is a recurring mini-game in The Legend of Zelda series. It involves Link hitting one or more opponents as many times as he can using his Sword before he is hit three times.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Sword Training can be done with Orca on Outset Island. If he hits Orca 100 times he will receive 50 Rupees and will henceforth be referred to as a "knight", rather than a "page". If Link hits Orca 300 times, he receives 100 Rupees and is called a "swordsman". If Link hits Orca 500 times, he receives a Piece of Heart. If Link hits Orca 1000 times he will become "Orca's Master". If Link hits Orca with a Parry it will count as two sword strikes. This game can be made easier be switching the Z-targeting mode to switch.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Sword Training can be done with the Self-proclaimed Hero on the Prince of Red Lions. If Link manages to hit the Self-proclaimed Hero 100 times, he will receive a Heart Container the first time he does so and a random Treasure all times afterwards. If he manages to hit the Self-Proclaimed Hero 200 times after getting the Heart Container he will receive a random Ship Part.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Sword Training can be done with three Hyrulean Soldiers in Hyrule Castle.If Link can strike a combined total of sixty hits against the soldiers the captain of the soldiers, Russell will give Link a Heart Container. If Link can strike the soldiers more then 900 times, Russell bestows Link with the title of "captain" and will address Link as such throughout the rest of the game. Alfonzo makes reference to this game when talking to Ferrus stating he was called a legendary swords man after he hit the soldiers 900 times.
