The Old Wayfarer is an old man who resides in a small home on Bannan Island. He seems to be obsessed with mermaids and has dedicated his life to finding one. He appears in Phantom Hourglass and is part of 2 sidequests:

• The Mermaid Sidequest, a small sidequest in which Link must introduce the Old Wayfarer to a fake mermaid in order to get the fishing rod. If Link brings him a Loovar fish, the young hero will receive the Big Catch Lure, which lets him catch bigger fish.
• The Trading Sequence, where he will bestow upon Link the Swordsman's Scroll in exchange for a wood heart.

Trivia

• When Link stands in front of the Old Wayfarer and talks to him, a decoration behind him closely resembles Kotake.
