He appears almost everywhere; in [[Overworld]] Caves and in at least one room of every [[Dungeon]] in the First Quest. He is first met in the cave on the [[Starting Screen]] of the game and gives Link his first [[Sword]] at this location. He also gives Link many other items all the way, including the [[White Sword]], the [[Magical Sword]], and both [[Bomb]] upgrades. Also, if Link can find him in a cave found at the top of a staircase in northeastern Hyrule, the Old Man gives Link the [[Letter]], and tells him to bring it to the [[Old Woman]].{{Ref|LoZ|47|Old Man}} When Link later does give it to the Old Woman, she accepts it and allows Link to start purchasing [[Potion]]s from her [[Potion Shop (The Legend of Zelda)|Potion Shop]].{{Ref|LoZ|49|[[Old Woman]]}} | ||
There are also certain caves across Hyrule that the Old Man is upset at Link for destroying the door. Inside these rooms, the Old Man asks Link to pay for the door repair.{{Ref|LoZ|46|Old Man}} This repair costs 20 Rupees. | There are also certain caves across Hyrule that the Old Man is upset at Link for destroying the door.

In ''Oracle of Seasons'', the Old Man is seen frequently throughout Link's quest. He is first seen within the first dungeon of the game, [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]]. His message to Link is very short; he says, ''"Return light to unlit torches!"''{{Ref|OoS|1117|Old Man}} This is a hint to Link that he can use his [[Seed Satchel]] and [[Ember Seed]]s (which he obtains a little later in the dungeon) to light torches in order to solve puzzles. | In ''Oracle of Seasons'', the Old Man is seen frequently throughout Link's quest.
