==The Brothers==
Although {{Term|TMC|Link}} must visit {{Term|TMC|Swiftblade}} and learn the {{Term|TMC|Spin Attack|link}} in order to complete the game, the other {{Term|TMC|Blade Brothers|display=Brothers}} are completely optional. {{Term|TMC|Link}} can sometimes train with a {{Term|TMC|Blade Brothers|display=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 {{Term|TMC|Blade Brothers|display=Brothers}} who upgrade {{Term|TMC|Link}}'s previously-learned techniques can only be found after {{Term|TMC|Kinstone Fusion|link|display=Fusing}} {{Plural|TMC|Kinstone|link}} with the other {{Term|TMC|Blade Brothers|display=Brothers}}.  
===Swiftblade===
[[File:Swiftblade.gif|left]]
'''Swiftblade''' is the second eldest of the Blade Brothers. His dojo is a building in the southwest corner of the town. Unlike the other brothers, he teaches four separate techniques—the [[Tiger Scrolls#Spin Attack|Spin Attack]],<ref>{{Cite|We shall start with the most basic of all techniques! I shall teach you...the Spin Attack!|Swiftblade|TMC}}</ref> [[Tiger Scrolls#Dash Attack|Dash Attack]],<ref>{{Cite|You will now learn a new technique, the Dash Attack!|Swiftblade|TMC}}</ref> [[Tiger Scrolls#Rock Breaker|Rock Breaker]],<ref>{{cite|I will now teach you a technique called the Rock Breaker, so pay attention!|Swiftblade|TMC}}</ref> and [[Tiger Scrolls#Down Thrust|Down Thrust]].<ref>{{Cite|Now I will teach you a new technique, the Down Thrust!|Swiftblade|TMC}}</ref> In order to learn the latter three techniques, Link must obtain the [[White Sword]],<ref>{{Cite|Come again when you have a new sword in hand!|Swiftblade|TMC}}</ref> [[Pegasus Boots]],<ref>{{Cite|Come again when you learn to run like the wind!|Swiftblade|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Ah!

The Blade Brothers,[1] also known as Swordmasters,[2] are characters in The Minish Cap.

Biography

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.
