Blade Brothers

The Blade Brothers are characters in.

Biography
The Blade Brothers are self-trained swordsmen, and have each won the fighting tournament at the Picori Festival. If Link trains with them, they will grant him various techniques for his Sword, generally in the form of Tiger Scrolls. Each brother resides within his own dojo, although Swiftblade's is the only one that is actually a building; the other Brothers reside within caves, graves, and even hollowed-out Trees. Each of the Brothers who award Link with Tiger Scrolls use the Possession Technique, which allows them to control Link's body and demonstrate the technique. The other three Brothers instead use "visualization training," and tell Link to focus on his Sword performing more ably.

Although Link must visit Swiftblade and learn the Spin Attack in order to complete the game, the other Brothers are completely optional. Link can sometimes train with a Brother as soon as he finds them, but they usually require him to have achieved a certain accomplishment before they will teach him. Furthermore, the three Brothers who upgrade Link's previously-learned techniques can only be found after fusing Kinstones with the other Brothers.
