Biography

Wadatsumi is a resident of Papuchia Village. However, prior to the events of Spirit Tracks, he and the other men of the village were kidnapped by Pirates.[3] Once Link completes the Fire Temple and obtains Force Gem 16, he is able to drive the Spirit Train to the Pirate Hideout, where he finds Wadatsumi kept captive in a cell. Link defeats the Miniblin Pirates and their Big Blin leader, and they escape the hideout in a Mine Cart.[4] Wadatsumi then asks the young hero to drive him home to Papuchia Village so that he can be with his female companion once again.[5][6]

When Wadatsumi arrives back in Papuchia Village, he shows his thanks to Link by producing Force Gem 17,[7] then heads straight to Orca's house.[8] Link automatically follows him there to witness the reunion, where Wadatsumi behaves overly familiar toward Orca;[9] it turns out the pair were only ever friends, and Orca is bothered that Wadatsumi imagines otherwise.[10][11] Furthermore, if Link has obtained Force Gem 2, then Orca will already be married to Dovok at this time,[12] making the encounter a bit more heated.[13]

In either scenario, Wadatsumi has little to say before he leaves Orca's house and returns to wandering outdoors.[14] He later tells Link that he has decided to move on,[15] and that he is considering visiting the Wise One to have his fortune told.[16]
