In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Orca is an old man who's home is on Outset Island, a peaceful place where Link also resides. Orca, in his youth with his older brother Sturgeon, set out on a quest to find ten Knight's Crests. Both of then aspired to be great swordsmen, and their quest took many years of hard toil, and honing their skills of the blade. Both fought against beasts and challenged each other to become stronger. Some time at the end of their journey, Orca was injured so seriously that he was unable to become a swordsman. After their journey, they built a house on Outset Island in which Sturgeon lived in the top part of the house, and Orca lived on the bottom. While Orca may no longer use a sword, he may still train and fight with a spear.
It is Orca who first gives Link his sword and teaches him his first moves with it. If Link brings him 10 Knight Crests, he will teach him the Hurricane Spin. Later on in Link's adventure, if you hit him 500 times before he hits you 3 times you receive a Piece of Heart. If you hit him 999 times, he will say that you have surpassed him and from that point he calls you Master.
Amusingly, after you strike him 999 times he will say that he has lost count and that his arm has gone numb. Then, he asks you: "Hasn't the left index finger gone numb"? He's refering to the players L-Targeting finger. Don't be too surprised if it has in fact lost feeling.

Conversations
After Receiving the Hero's Clothes
Link! Is that you? If I recall correctly, today, you are the same age as the legendary hero. When did you get so old? You must build strong muscles from now on! Strong muscles! You have come at the perfect moment! I was just trying my rolling attack. Allow me to teach it to you! Are you ready? Just run as fast as you can, then press A. That is how you perform a rolling attack. If you think you understand, then try to roll into the wall. Go on, young one!
Link does so, Sturgeon is annoyed and bangs on the floor.
Ah, my brother upstairs is very high-strung. His is the way of knowledge. He locks himself in his room and studies all day. He is quite wise, but with that big head of his, he is hardly...accommodating. On top of it all, he is so very feeble! At times, I am ashamed to call him my brother. But enough of that, Link! I sense the natural talent that beats in your veins. But you need more than talent to make it in the world today. You must also be bold! And to that end, I shall teach you the art of swordplay. What say you? Do you wish to practice you skills with the sword?
Link practices with the sword
It is as I foresaw! One day, you shall become a master of the sword! But it is still too soon to give you a sword to carry around with you. I'm afraid I cannot give you one yet. If I did give you one, I am certain your grandmother would be quite upset with me...and I do not need that! But...if for any reason you feel you need more training, then come see me again.
