From now until the end of the carnival, join at a special discount.

When you sharpen your sword skills, your mind is sharpened naturally.

With the moon getting closer in recent days, the number of the weak and frightened has increased.

But when you attain a master's level of training as I have, there is nothing to fear!

By learning at this training center, you too can attain such a strong mind and will.

When you sharpen the sword skills, your mind is sharpened naturally.

Rumors are spreading which suggest the moon is falling, but you can breathe easier as long as I am in town.

Tonight, I shall cut the moon into pieces! If one does not have such skill, he cannot teach the way of the sword to others.

If you wish to be as powerful as I am, then I shall teach you until nighttime.

If you wish to be as strong as I am, then, until nighttime, I shall teach you many lessons in the way of the sword.

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?

This is a training center for learning the sacred way of the sword. It is no place for children!

This is a place for studying the way of the sword. It is no place for children to play!

If you wish to study the way of the sword at this training center, come after you've become an adult.

Umm...Excuse me, but this is a training center for studying the way of the sword...

I can't help those without a sword.

This training center is for studying the lowly sword...It is no place for one of your stature, sir.

Here...those who have no sword... cannot...I'm sorry, but it's the regulations.

How unfortunate it is, since you seem to have good skill, but this is a center for studying the way of the sword.

If you don't have one... But if you have a friend who wants to study, tell them we have a special discount going on.

Regrettable. If only you had a sword, you could become a sword master, like myself...

And it's even a bargain now with our special discount...

At my training center, you could become a master right away...

Too bad you have no sword.

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!

This is a training center for the sacred sword! What is that mask?

Is that the manner of one who wishes to study the sword?! Come when you are ready!

I do not know that child.

Why do you wear the All-Night Mask?

Are you suggesting that my instructions will put you to sleep? How rude! Be gone!

Ohh, how adorable! Let me tug on your long ears...

Ahem...If you study the way of the sword here, you'll get your bunny dirty, so put it away.

.........

This is a training center for studying the way of the sword, so I will teach anyone who has a sword...

But first, leave that mask at home...

Why do you wear a ninja's mask? Do you wish to become a ninja in the future?

How nice. The innocence of children...

...... Do you really wish to study the sword?

I can't find the will to teach you when their milk has no freshness...

This is a training center for studying the sacred sword! Why that mask? How ugly and sorrowful.

If you wish to study the sword, first remove that strange plaything.

Ahh...You always do a wonderful job delivering the mail.

Oh, congratulations. Did a friend get married? Mmm...To be young...

Hey, that's not bad. That girl's mask is very beautiful! I'll lose my focus if I try to instruct you while you're wearing that.

Leave it at home. Or...I could keep it for you.

Frightening! That mask! It's frightening!!!

That scares me. Take it off! Take it off!

I'm no good at singing, so I won't sing. Not even if you wear that!

...... Why that mask? Are you making fun of me? If you're making fun of me, be gone!

Waaah!

If you wish to study the way of the sword, remove that mask! It looks like something I saw in a bad dream...

Hmm? ...Is someone there???

This is a training center for the sacred sword!

Do not wear that mask and march around in here! If you wish to do that, go outside!

This is a training center for teaching the sacred sword! Why do you wear that mask?

I cannot allow such an evil weapon in here. Come back when you are ready!

This is the training center of the sacred sword! Why do you wear that mask?

I am not stinky! I take a bath at least once a month!

I'm currently on the job. If I stop to talk, it will disrupt my schedule.

According to my schedule, it is now my nap time.

If my schedule is disrupted by even a few seconds, letter delivery will be delayed... Public service is very hard.

This is a problem...A real problem. Not a single letter was mailed...

What should I do this afternoon... I wish someone would tell me.

...You're disrupting me!

Last night, I wrote a letter to myself and deposited it in a post box...

I just retrieved it. This afternoon, I shall deliver that letter! Hrr, hrr!

To Myself, You have been doing a great job delivering the mail.

I have a request for my hard-working self. All of the townsfolk have taken refuge. I want myself to flee, too.

Even if it is not written on the schedule, I want myself to flee. Please... From Me

Ohhh...I want to flee! B-but, it's not written on the schedule.

T-to me, the delivery schedule... It's the h-highest priority.

T-to me, the delivery schedule... It's the h-highest priority.

Th-this is a priority mail seal! This is the highest of priorities. I shall deliver it!

I have a delivery for you, Postmaster!!!

I have decided to flee. It is an order from the Postmaster.

I am now free! I can set my own schedule!

There was only one letter today. It is so sad...

But I shall deliver it perfectly.

I have a letter for you.

...It seems he is out today.

Deposit mail here. Ka-ching!

I cannot accept anything other than letters. Ka-ching!

Thank you for using the postal system. Ka-ching!

Your letter has been received. Ka-ching!

It shall be delivered this afternoon. Ka-ching!

It shall be delivered tomorrow. Ka-ching!

4, 5, 6...

Whaa! ...You startled me.

Do not disrupt my training!

In my mind, I am running for exactly 10 seconds without looking at a clock.

I was in the middle of mental training!

You may make fun of me, but this is quite difficult!

Will you try?

Yes
No

Then you are disrupting me!

Press A to start. Count 10 seconds, and the precise moment you think you've hit 10 on the dot, press A again.

Your time was #.

Huh?!? 10 seconds?!?

That is amazing! You have reflexes suitable for a postman!

As thanks for showing me something impressive, I give you this.

I can't be like this! I'll have to train more! More!

Oh! Almost! That was a close one...

...Oh, nothing. Just talking to myself.

See! I told you it's difficult!

You're past 10 seconds!

My, you're a slow one.

You look like you want to try again...

I'll let you try, but it will cost 2 Rupees!

Will you still try again?

Yes
No

Grr! You're disrupting my training! Shoo, shoo!

You don't have enough Rupees! Hrrrrr...You're disrupting my training!

Whaa! What...You again?!?

Don't keep disrupting my training!

So...

In my head, I run for exactly 10 seconds without looking at a clock. I'm in the middle of mental training!

I can let you do it, but it will cost 2 Rupees!

Whaa! Those ears!!! Oh, they're fake... You startled me!

Don't disrupt my training!

You are doing a great job. Ka-ching!

Some item other than a letter has been deposited. Ka-ching!

Nice work. Ka-ching!

Please take priority mail to the Post Office. It will even be accepted late at night. Ka-ching!

I have a delivery for you, Postmistress!

Oh my, it can't be! You're still here?

To...to...to...tomorrow's delivery is still scheduled!

What are you saying?!? Did you see the sky? It's terrible!

But, but...

Oh, my! Well!!! What shall we do?!? It's from Kafei!

It's priority mail.

I'm so happy! To think something good would come in the end!

Thank you. You flee now. That's an order!

Understood.

I don't need this anymore, so here...I'll let you have it!

Ehhhh, I'm sorry... Only Deku Scrubs can play here.

Young Link, you will compete against your best time.

How about it? Will the young one play?

Young Link, you will compete against your best time.

Try setting a new record again today, young Link.

How about it? We're open only until the carnival, which is the day after tomorrow. So will the young one play?

Young Link, you will compete against your best time.

Good luck, young Link. Now you can try for three straight days of new records.

Even though today is actually the eve of the carnival, it's quiet above and no one's come down here yet.

Will you play, young Link?

Even though today is actually the eve of the carnival, no one has come in. That's quite rare.

Now is your chance, young one. Will you play?

One game is 10 Rupees.
I'll play
No thanks

Come again.

You don't have enough Rupees!

All right, then. Use this Deku Flower and have fun.

If the time it takes you to get all the Rupees is faster than the current record, you get an extravagant prize.

But if you fall down below just once, it's over!

The best time for today's game is #. Get all the Rupees faster than that.

The best time for today's game is #. Get all the Rupees faster than that.

The best time for today's game is #. Get all the Rupees faster than that.

Time's up. You're done!

Too bad. You can compete as many times as you like, though. Hee, hee.

Too bad. You're done!

You can compete as many times as you like, though. ...If you have Rupees. Hee, hee.

# Amazing...It's a new record!

...Take this.

Come again, young Link.

I'll record this time. So what's your name, young one?

Hmm, hmm...Link? ...That's a strange name for a Deku Scrub.

If you can, come by again tomorrow.

# ...Amazing. A new record... And for three days straight?!? Wow...We've been had.

Well, you're obviously a pro, and pros can't play here. Take this and don't come back.

Such a youthful face... ...But we were really dealing with a fierce competitor!

Ahh! It's Link! Hide!

It's time to change the setup! Go home!

OK, it's all over!

# Well, that's the way it goes.

OK, burrow into the Deku Flower. The game begins the moment you jump out!
