The Swordsman is a swordsmanship teacher in the [[Swordsman's School]] located in [[West Clock Town]]. He offers two types of training courses; the Novice Course, which costs one [[Rupee]], and the advanced Expert Course, for 10 Rupees. The Novice Course can tutor [[Link]] on using the [[Sword]], and serves as an optional tutorial. The Expert Course takes the form of a mini-game, where Link must chop logs with Jump Attacks to score points. If he earns 30 Points, the Swordsman will give him a [[Piece of Heart]]. In {{MM3D}}, beating the Expert Course again will earn Link a [[Fishing Hole Pass]], sparking the Swordsman to question if Link has a complaint. <ref>{{Cite|What? Have you some kind of complaint?|Swordsman|MM3D}}</ref> If Link attempts to study under the Swordsman without a Sword in his inventory, the Swordsman will call him a fool and refuse to teach him.<ref>{{Cite|Fool!

Biography

The Swordsman is a swordsmanship teacher in the Swordsman's School located in West Clock Town. He offers two types of training courses; the Novice Course, which costs one Rupee, and the advanced Expert Course, for 10 Rupees. The Novice Course can tutor Link on using the Sword, and serves as an optional tutorial. The Expert Course takes the form of a mini-game, where Link must chop logs with Jump Attacks to score points. If he earns 30 Points, the Swordsman will give him a Piece of Heart. In Majora's Mask 3D, beating the Expert Course again will earn Link a Fishing Hole Pass, sparking the Swordsman to question if Link has a complaint. [2] If Link attempts to study under the Swordsman without a Sword in his inventory, the Swordsman will call him a fool and refuse to teach him.[3]

He boasts about his bravery and claims that he does not fear the Moon.[4] His actions, however, would seem to indicate otherwise. If Link goes to the training center after midnight on the night of the Final Day, he will find that he has set up a sign saying he has gone away. If the young hero slashes the wall behind the sign, he will find the Swordsman curled up in the corner saying that he does not want to die.[5]
