Old Wayfarer

The Old Wayfarer is an old man who resides in a small home on Bannan Island. He seems to be obsessed with mermaids and has dedicated his life to find one. He appears in Phantom Hourglass and is part of 2 sidequests:


 * The Mermaid Sidequest, a small sidequest where Link must introduce him a fake mermaid in order to get the fishing rod. Bringing him a Loovar fish will get the young hero the Big Catch Lure and will let him catch bigger fish.
 * The Trading Sequence, where he will bestow upon Link the Swordsman's Scroll in exchange for a wood heart.

Trivia
When Link stands in front of the Old Wayfarer and talk to him, the decorations behind him resemble Kotake.
