Before the race he gives Link and three other Skyloft youths the instructions for the ceremony. He attaches a ceremonial bird statue, (brought by Zelda) to a small gold bird and tells the children that whoever catches the bird and claims the statue will be this year's champion. Giving quick instructions on how to control the birds he then goes on to say that the champion will receive a gift from the lovely Zelda. Before the race begins he tells Link and three other Skyloft youths to show him just how well they have practiced. He asks to see good clean flying with no interfering with the other flyers. Then upon his command the competition begins.
'''Instructor Horwell''' is a character in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. He spends most of his time at the [[Knight Academy]].


==''Skyward Sword''==
===Appearance and Personality===
Instructor Horwell is first encountered as Link leaves the Knight Academy. He looks quite similar to [[Instructor Owlan]], the other lead instructor of the Skyloftian Knight Academy. He is Headmaster [[Gaepora]]'s left-hand man, and is entrusted with the academic studies of animals, which he has an interest in. In addition, he quite frequently cares for [[Mia]], the Headmaster's pet cat.

===Role in the Plot===
When Link first encounters Horwell, he teaches Link [[Z-Targeting]] and dashing up to have a conversation with him. He then promptly gives Link his first side quest - Mia, Gaepora's pet, has gone missing again. Once Link has finished this quest, Link can head over to the Statue of the Goddess to meet with the Headmaster and [[Zelda (Skyward Sword)|Zelda]]. Afterwards, Link needs to speak with him in order to delay the [[Wing Ceremony]] due to an urgent and unfortunate event involving one of the [[Loftwing]]s.
 
===Side Quests===
Retrieving Mia - Collecting Mia is a fairly simple task, using the railing above Link's head, the hero in green can shimmy over to the next ledge. Running and jumping allow Link to clear the gap, and then using the climbing vines brings Link up to the next level. Link can't jump up to the next level, however, and Horwell tells Link so if he tries. Link must push the crate up to the wall and then climb up to get Mia.
