The Swordsman's School,[1] also known as the Mighty Training Center,[2] is a location in Majora's Mask.

Overview

The school is located in West Clock Town. It is operated by the Swordsman and is open 24 hours.[3]

The Swordsman does not physically participate in training sessions. Rather, he raises logs from out of the floor to serve as targets. He remains sitting cross-legged on a raised platform at far end of the hall. To his left is a Cow Figurine, to his right a gong that yields a Blue Rupee when struck exactly on the hour or the half-hour.[citation needed]

Behind the Swordsman is a trophy shelf and a wooden placard. Destroying the placard reveals a secret room behind it. There are 5 Pots in the secret room containing a total of 25 Rupees—one Blue Rupee in each.[verification needed]

After midnight on the Final Day, there is a Sign where the Swordsman usually sits. It reads, "I'll be on vacation for a short while. Please don't look for me." During that time, the Swordsman is in fact cowering in a corner of the secret room.[4]
