Wadatsumi

is a character in Spirit Tracks.

Biography
Usually, the man is a resident of Papuchia Village. However, one day, he and the other men of the village were kidnapped by pirates and taken to the Pirate Hideout, just north of the village.

After Link receives a Force Gem from the Fish Saleswoman in Papuchia Village, Spirit Tracks leading to the Pirate Hideout will be revealed, making it accessible for Link to enter. Inside the hideout, Link will find the prisoner behind bars asking for the young hero's help. In order to rescue the prisoner, Link must partake in what is sort of a minigame: he will have to defeat as many Miniblins as possible with his bow and arrows as they walk across the upper part of the DS screen while Link stays on the other side of the hideout. Eventually, once enough Miniblins have been destroyed, the prisoner and Link will get on a small type of Mine Cart to escape the hideout. As they make their way out, Miniblins will continue to follow the pair. In both occasions, if Link takes too long to defeat a Miniblin, it will throw a cage at the young hero, and if it's not destroyed using an arrow, it will capture Link, ending the the rescue. At the end of the hideout is a Big Blin that will give a massive hit to the pair if he is not defeated before the escape cart reaches him.

After escaping the hideout, the young man asks Link to take him back to his girlfriend in Papuchia Village. After the young hero takes the resident back to the village, he will reward Link with a Force Gem, which establishes more Spirit Tracks in the Ocean Realm and makes way to several shortcuts in the realm. After rewarding Link with a Force Game, the young man will immediatly depart for his girlfriend's house, where he will find out that his girlfriend has left him for the Whittleton Chief. After the young hero follows him out of his ex-girlfriend's house and talks to him, the former prisoner will inform Link that he has decided to move on from his girlfriend, and that he is considering to visit the Wise One to recieve his fortune.

Trivia

 * If the Pirate's Prisoner returns to Papuchia Village, and his girlfriend isn't married to the Whittleton Chief, then she will simply inform the young man that she doesn't love him anymore.
