Biography

The Old Wayfarer is an old man who resides in a small house at Bannan Island. He is the writer of the "Wayfarer's Words" found on Molida Island, which tell of his adventures to the Isle of Gust.[2][3][4][5] The Old Wayfarer has a wife and a son named Romanos, who both live on Molida Island. Although, he had left his family the year before to explore uncharted islands.[6] This angered his son Romanos, which is why he refuses to work.[7] Romanos expresses annoyance towards his father's lust for adventure, and will snap at Link if he asks about the Isle of Gust.[8] Inside his true hideaway, the Old Wayfarer left a message inside his journal for Romanos.[9] He apologizes for how he treated his family,[10] and explains that he has dedicated his life in learning more about the Ghost Ship and its victim's fates.[11] He tells Romanos to care for his mother if he does not return, and asks for his son's forgiveness.[12] The Old Wayfarer can be found inside the S.S. Wayfarer during the game's trading sequence, where he gives Link the Swordsman's Scroll in exchange for a Wood Heart.[13]

The Old Wayfarer seems to have an obsession with mermaids.[14] Link can lead Joanne, a fake mermaid,[15] to the Old Wayfarer, and will be given the Fishing Rod.[16][17] The Old Wayfarer originally had the fishing rod to catch a mermaid, but he gives it to Link now that he no longer needs it.[18]
