Crenel Hermit

The Crenel Hermit is a secretive figure who resides high up on Mount Crenel in The Minish Cap.

His cave abode is built into the Crenel Wall section of the mountain. Upon meeting Link, he notes that specific patterned walls about the face of Mount Crenel are susceptible to bomb explosions, yielding secret passageways that ultimately hide Rupees and Pieces of Heart, among other rewards. The young hero may figure out the secret of these walls without consulting the Hermit, however, making this meeting entirely inconsequential to the plot of The Minish Cap, either way.

Link can fuse Kinstones with him as well.

Trivia

 * Crenel Hermit resembles Swordsman from Majora's Mask, which may suggest a connection considering his sword-fighting abilities at the festival tournament in his younger days.
