Sturgeon is a character found on Outset Island in The Wind Waker.

Overview

Sturgeon is the wise old man with the large upper head. He lives on the top floor of the two floor house on Outset Island, which he shares with his brother, Orca.

He would love to live in a world where there are no loud noises or disturbances, and he despises the art of swordsmanship. This is contrary to the loud ways his brother Orca practices downstairs. Even though he hates sword fighting, he used to be an accomplished swordsman when he was a young man. But with age, he grew to dislike it, and focuses his days on being locked in his room, reading factual books and expanding his endless knowledge. Because of his wiseness, he is known on Outset Island as the "Living Encyclopedia" and is commonly asked questions that the residents don't know the answers to. He angers very easily, and is sent over the deep end when his brother practices his strength downstairs and knocks everything off his shelves that he had placed so precariously there.

Sturgeon is the character in this game who teaches Link the basic controls, for example, how to look around and L-Targeting. Lined along Sturgeon's walls are notes on paper he wrote to himself about useful items like how to save, how to use maps, and what Recovery Hearts are used for. When he was a young man, he set out with his brother to find and collect ten Knight's Crests, which was needed to become a true swordsman and learn a special move. They never found them all however, and Orca left the task to Link.

Quite an ingenious little thing, if I do say so myself!" — Sturgeon, The Wind Waker.
