World of the Ocean King

The is the presumed name of the place in which most of the events of Phantom Hourglass take place. It is home to the Ocean King as well as his spirits. It bears a striking resemblance to the Great Sea, and as such, Tetra and Link are not even aware that they are in another world during their adventures.

Although the name "World of the Ocean King" is implied by one of the fairy spirits of the Ocean King, the sea of Phantom Hourglass has no verified name. The instruction manual, however, strictly hints that the sea in which Link and Tetra stumble upon is different from the Great Sea, but the manual as well as the game do not give it an official name to go by.

Terrain
Much like The Great Sea, the overall area is water covered, and primary transportation is via ship. The Islands have little difference in landscape features and consist of mostly grassy jagged surfaces. The inhabitants have bridges and stairs built, leaving few places inaccessible without other means.

Trade
The World of the Ocean King' primarily uses Rupees as its medium of exchange between inhabitants. Rupees seem to be more abundant here in comparison to other theaters of adventure. Unsurprisingly, the largest wallet, thus far, is utilized here. Much like Hyrule and other lands trading also seems to be acceptable to acquire new goods.

Inhabitants
The predominant inhabitants of the Islands seem to be the humans. The main villages are on Mercay and Molida Islands although others can be found throughout the 4 Seas. Gorons inhabit an island of the same name, as well as populate Dee Ess Island. The Anouki and Yook share the Isle of Frost. And a seemingly extinct race, the Cobble have elaborate ruins in the Northeastern Seas.
