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]].{{Ref|LoZ|47|Old Man}} When Link later does give it to the Old Woman, she accepts it and allows Link to start buying [[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. Inisde these rooms, the Old Man asks Link to pay for the door repair.{{Ref|LoZ|46|Old Man}} This repair costs 20 Rupees.
