When Link first meets Niko, the young pirate gives him a test which all new pirate swabbies must take, which is to swing from platform to platform using [[Rope (Item)|ropes]] hanging from the ceiling and reach the other end of the ship.<ref>{{Cite|Right! Now, first off you have to take the test all new pirates have to take. It's a bit of a doozy, so get ready!|Niko|TWW}}</ref> Niko is confident that it will take Link at least a year to successfully complete the test, but is astounded when the young hero easily finishes the trial.<ref>{{Cite|It will probably take you at least one year before you're good enough to make it all the way here. One rough year. One tough year, full of bumps and bruises.|Niko|TWW}}</ref> For his great skills, Niko bestows upon Link the [[Spoils Bag]], and tells the young hero that he is proud to have him as his underling.<ref>{{Cite|Whaaaaat!?? You did it already??? ......... I... I... I'm proud to have you as... As my... As my underling! [...] All right, swabbie! I'll tell you what! You can have the treasure in that chest over there! It's your reward from the great and generous Niko!|Niko|TWW}}</ref> | ||

Why don't we set you to your next test, huh? This one is harder than the last! Good luck! You'll need it, swabbie!|Niko|TWW}}</ref> Once Link successfully finishes the trial, Niko will once again be amazed (especially since that's a test he hadn't even passed himself) and hand him over some of the [[Bomb]]s that they acquired from the [[Bomb Shop#The Wind Waker|Bomb Shop]], although somewhat reluctantly since he's afraid he might get caught.<ref>{{Cite|This isn't good... I've never even passed this test... How could he do it so quickly...? And make it look so easy?!? And if I give this to him, everyone will know for sure... Oh, I'll be so busted... Uh...OK! You're the best swabbie of all time! So...I guess I'll just give you the bombs! Go on! Take 'em!|Niko|TWW}}</ref> | Later, when Link visits [[Windfall Island]] to find out what the pirates are up to, the young hero finds Niko stuck looking out for the pirate ship while the rest of the pirates are out having fun.<ref>{{Cite|Well, after you left, I went back to being the bottom rung on the ladder...which is why I'm stuck here while everyone else is in town having fun and eating and stuff...|Niko|TWW}}</ref> He mentions that he is happy to see his "old swabbie" again, and gives him another test similar to the one he took first, except this time there are no platforms in which Link can step on to and must swing directly from rope to rope to the other side.<ref>{{Cite|All right!
