Fledge

Fledge is a resident of the Knight Academy in Skyloft in SS undefined. He is a kind, but cowardly person. Fledge seems to have confidence issues, stemming from his soft nature and lack of physical prowess.

Biography
Before the Wing Ceremony, Fledge can be found near the bathroom of the Knight Academy, attempting to carry barrels for Henya. If Link helps Fledge carry a barrel into the kitchen, he will give the young hero 20 Rupees as thanks. If Link decides not to help him, Fledge will carry on with his work.

After Link learns that his Loftwing is missing, Pipit and Fledge help Link find it. With Pipit's coercion, Fledge admits to being hazed into not telling Link about overhearing Groose's plan to kidnap the young hero's Loftwing. From the information Fledge provides, Pipit determines that Groose and his gang hid Link's Loftwing near a waterfall. Afterwards, Fledge apologizes to Link for being a coward. If Link talks to Fledge before this, he will behave suspiciously and hint that he knows something. After Link walks away, Fledge tries to tell the young hero, but decides not to.

Once Link obtains the Goddess Sword, Fledge compliments Link on his new tunic and gives the young hero an Adventure Pouch, saying that he made it himself.

After Link clears the Lanayru Mining Facility, Fledge can be found in his room at night in the Knight Academy doing push-ups. He will ask Link for a Stamina Potion to supply the strength he needs to continue exercising, significantly increasing the number of push-ups he can do. Later, Link can give him a second Stamina Potion, increasing that number even more. Eventually Fledge will be able to do nearly 4,000 push-ups, and will give Link five Gratitude Crystals for his help. After helping Fledge become stronger, he opens the minigame Pumpkin Pull, a game where Link may use his Bow on Pumpkins Fledge tosses into the air as target practice.

Trivia

 * Despite not appearing to be a senior student at the academy, he wears an orange tunic.
