Flying Fish

Flying Fish are one of the easiest of all the water creatures to defeat in. These fish will just hover above the water before attempting to run into the S.S. Linebeck. A single shot from the ship's cannon will immediately defeat these creatures.

Phantom Hourglass Manga
A Flying Fish is shown in the leaping out of the water to attack the S.S. Linebeck. Unlike in the game, the Flying Fish spits a rock at the ship, almost capsizing it. Link questions Linebeck if the ship has any kind of weapon. As the Fish continues attacking the vessel, Linebeck replies that the ship does not. Link asks the captain how he is able to cross waters with Fish like these. Linebeck says by running for his life, speeding the S.S. Linebeck forward and leaving the Flying Fish behind.

After getting a Cannon from Eddo, the Flying Fish reappears. Link fires the Cannon and causes the Fish is explode.
