The Old Man is a character from The Legend of Zelda, who also makes a cameo in I Wanna Be The Guy in a special room. He Trolls you by giving you a save and a sword. Though when you try and get the sword you get killed and he makes fun of you and calls you a retard/dumbass. In the original game, he calls you a retard. But in cherry treehouse's remaster, It's changed to "dumbass" because they felt the original was offensive.
