==Biography==
Yerbal is an elderly Kikwi with a long mustache and spindly, wooden features. He lives on the Great Tree in Faron Woods, which he climbed up and never came down, thus becoming a Hermit. He spends his day sleeping, and watches over the Woods from the Tree when he is not napping.
When Link manages to reach the Kikwi Hermit, he wakes Yerbal with a shot from his Slingshot. Yerbal is surprised to find a real, live human on the Surface, which he had not seen in a long time. Link explains to Yerbal that he is searching for Farore's Sacred Flame, which is located somehwere in the Faron Woods region. Yerbal mentions that he knows something about the Sacred Flame, but first asks Link if he can keep a secret. Yerbal explains that long ago, when the Goddess still protected the Surface, she gave the Flame to the Water Dragon Faron. He says that her lair is located deep within Lake Floria. Unfortunately, the Hermit notes that the gate leading to the Lake is sealed shut. Yerbal reveals the trick to opening the gate, and bids farewell to the young hero.
