Biography
Swiftblade is the second eldest of the Blade Brothers. His dojo is a building in the southwest corner of Hyrule Town. Unlike the other Brothers, he teaches four separate techniques: the Spin Attack,[2] Dash Attack,[3] Rock Breaker,[4] and Down Thrust.[5] In order to learn the latter three techniques, Link must obtain the White Sword,[6] Pegasus Boots,[7][8] and Roc's Cape,[9] respectively.
After Link Fuses Kinstones with the Postman, Swiftblade will also start writing the Swordsman Newsletter.[10]
