Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

The Old Man in The Legend of Zelda can be called Link's companion throughout his adventure. He appears almost everywhere; in Overworld caves and in at least one room of every Dungeon. 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.[1] When Link later does give it to the Old Woman, she accepts it and allows Link to start buying Potions from her Potion Shop.[2]

There are also certain caves across Hyrule that the Old Man is upset at Link for destroying the door. Inisde these rooms, the Old Man asks Link to pay for the door repair.[3] This repair costs 20 Rupees.

Oracle of Seasons

In Oracle of Seasons, the Old Man 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!"[4] This is hint to Link that he can use his Seed Satchel and Ember Seeds (which he obtains a little later in the dungeon) to light torches in order to solve puzzles.
