The King of Red Lions

It is the form of a red, wooden boat that the king of Hyrule takes on in Wind Waker. In his boat form, he acts as a mentor and lets the main character sail to different areas. It is not until later in the game that Link discovers the true identity of his loyal and instructive boat.

Certain items change whenever the player is sailing. The grappling hook becomes a crane used for pulling up underwater treasure chests, and bombs turn into a cannon. Most items can be accessed from the inventory while sailing.

Due to the events in the conclusion of Wind Waker, the Kings of Red Lions is not likely to reappear in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Wind Waker's direct sequel.
