Swordsman

So, will you try it?

Novice Course 1 Rupee
Expert Course 10 Rupees
No thanks

Is that so? Regrettable. Truly regrettable.

You don't have enough Rupees to take that course!

Hmm...The Novice Course!

Now then, before you draw your sword, I shall teach you the basics of unarmed combat.

I'll start with sideways jumps. After pressing Z to lock onto that log with Z-Targeting, press A while pushing Control Stick left or right.

Try it yourself.

Jump sideways by pressing A while pushing Control Stick left or right after you have used Z to target something.

Try it once more!

Next is the roll attack. After pressing Z to Z-Target, press A while pushing Control Stick forward to roll.

Begin!

After Z-Targeting with Z, press A while pressing Control Stick up to move and perform a roll attack.

Next is the backflip. Lock on and Z-Target the log with Z, then press A while pushing Control Stick down to jump.

Begin!

Perform the backflip by pressing A while pushing Control Stick down after you've locked onto your target with Z.

All right, now think of that log as an enemy and practice your sword skills!

First is the horizontal cut. Simply press B. Now then... Begin!

Just press B for a horizontal cut.

Next is the vertical cut. Press B after Z-Targeting with Z. Now then...Begin!

Press B after Z-Targeting with Z to execute a vertical cut.

Next is the thrust. After pressing Z to Z-Target, push Control Stick forward and press B.

After Z-Targeting with Z, push Control Stick forward and press B to perform a thrust.

And finally, the jump attack. Press A after drawing your sword and Z-Targeting with Z. Begin.

Draw your sword, press Z to Z-Target, then press A to perform the jump attack.

Well done! Do not forget what I have taught you thus far and do not neglect your daily practice!

Ah, yes, you can press R to defend yourself with your shield. Did you know that?

Wrong!

You must release Z and press A to put away your sword!

Do not Z-Target!

Fool! What can I teach to one who has no sword?!?

...Hmmm. Impressive. I must give you something. Here!

Your training is insufficient. You must jump more!

Start over from the beginning.

Unbelievable... Cherish it well...

What? Have you some kind of complaint?

The Expert Course is a practice session!

Cut down the 10 logs using the highly difficult techniques!

If you score a perfect 30 points, you shall be taught all the secrets!

Have you prepared?

Uuuuurgh...I'm scared! I can't take it! I don't want to die!
