After Link gives Fledge two Stamina Potions during the To Get Stronger Side Quest

His name is Fledge, and he seems to suffer from a lack of confidence in his physical abilities.

...But that is no longer the case. He increased his muscle mass by 500%. These days, he can no longer fit any known definition of "weakling."

Currently, he is testing other training methods in order to increase his strength even further.

After completing the To Get Stronger Side Quest

His name is Fledge, and he was once a weak and helpless individual. He is also your classmate at the Knight Academy, Master.

After working out continuously, he has built a muscular physique that allows him to easily throw heavy pumpkins up into the air without tiring.

Fledge is a student of the Knight Academy in Skyloft. He is a kind, but cowardly person.[3] Fledge seems to have confidence issues, stemming from his soft nature and lack of physical prowess.[4]

Before the Wing Ceremony, Fledge can be found near the restroom of the Knight Academy, attempting to carry Barrels for Henya.[5] If Link helps Fledge carry a Barrel into the kitchen, he will give the young hero 20 Rupees as thanks.[6][7] If Link decides not to help him, Fledge will carry on with his work.[8]

After Link learns that his Crimson Loftwing is missing, Pipit helps Link find it.[9] If Link talks to Fledge then, he will behave suspiciously and hint that he knows something.[10] As Link walks away, Fledge tries to tell the young hero, but decides not to.[11] With Pipit's coercion, Fledge admits to being hazed into not telling Link about overhearing Groose's plan to kidnap the young hero's Loftwing.[12] From the information Fledge provides, Pipit determines that Groose and his gang hid Link's Loftwing near a Waterfall.[13] Afterwards, Fledge apologizes to Link for being a coward.[14]

As Link prepares to set out to the Surface to rescue Zelda, Fledge compliments Link on his new tunic and gives the young hero an Adventure Pouch, saying that he made it himself.[15]

After Link clears the Lanayru Mining Facility, Fledge can be found in his room at night in the Knight Academy doing push-ups. He will ask Link for a Stamina Potion to supply the strength he needs to continue exercising, significantly increasing the number of push-ups he can do. Later, Link can give him a second Stamina Potion, increasing that number even more. Eventually, Fledge will be able to do nearly 4,000 push-ups, and will give Link five Gratitude Crystals for his help. After helping Fledge become stronger, he opens the mini-game Pumpkin Pull, a game where Link may use his Bow on Pumpkins Fledge tosses into the air as target practice. Link can earn a number of prizes for shooting enough Pumpkins, including a Piece of Heart.

  5. "Good morning, Link! Today's the big Wing Ceremony, right? I wanted to fly too, but I... I didn't make the cut, so I'm, stuck back here at the academy. Plus, I've got to move these barrels over to the kitchen." — Fledge (Skyward Sword)

  9. "Hey, Link! I was just looking for you. I heard your Loftwing has gone missing, so I thought I'd join in the search. And get this: when I asked Fledge what he knew, he started acting weird." — Pipit (Skyward Sword)
  10. "Hey, what's wrong, Link? You...don't know where your bird is? What are you talking about, Link? You called it, but...it didn't even come to you? ...So that means... Oh... I knew it... Huh? Oh, uh, nothing. Really, I was, uh...talking to myself. You know, like I do..." — Fledge (Skyward Sword)
  11. "Link! Hey, umm... I should probably tell you... Ah, forget it. Never mind. Sorry..." — Fledge (Skyward Sword)
  12. "I'm sorry Link. I really wanted to tell you, but...if Groose found out I told you... [...] Just a little while ago, when I was cleaning the dining hall, Groose and his buddies came in. They didn't notice I was there and started talking about their plan to hide your Loftwing. I wanted to warn you, Link. But just as I tried to sneak away... Groose and his gang grabbed me... They said that if I told you, they'd make sure I would never be able to ride a bird again!" — Fledge (Skyward Sword)
  13. "It sounds like Groose and his buddies had a plan to capture your bird and hide him near a waterfall. Well, near a waterfall would mean... Quick--let's take a look at your map." — Pipit (Skyward Sword)
  14. "Forgive me, Link! I can't help being such a coward... I'm really sorry." — Fledge (Skyward Sword)
  15. "That green uniform looks so...adventurous! You sure look like a knight now. The headmaster said you're heading out to look for Zelda. You're really something else. I could never imagine myself doing what you're about to do. I put a lot of work into making this! You should take it with you." — Fledge (Skyward Sword)
