Dock

Docks are platforms which stick out from land into a body of water.

The Legend of Zelda
They allow Link to use the Raft in.

''The Wind Waker
There are two docks in, with one located on Outset Island, and the other on Windfall Island. The King of Red Lions will always relocate to the docks when Link returns to the overworld from a building or other area.

Phantom Hourglass
In, docks serve as the only access points to every island in the game. Steering Linebeck's ship into an island's dock while traversing the overworld allows the player the option to visit the selected island.
