049 | All of these self-trained swordsmen |
The Blade Brothers are self-trained swordsmen, and have each won the fighting tournament at the Picori Festival.[3] If Link trains with them, they will grant him various techniques for his Sword, generally in the form of Tiger Scrolls.[4] 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.[5] The other three Brothers instead use "visualization training," and tell Link to focus on his Sword performing more ably.[6]
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 him, 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.
