Dock

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

The Legend of Zelda
In, docks allow Link to use the Raft to reach otherwise inaccesible areas.

''The Wind Waker
In, one dock can be found on Outset Island and another one on Windfall Island. The King of Red Lions will always relocate to the docks when Link returns to the Great Sea from another area.

Phantom Hourglass
In, docks serve as the only access points to every island in the game. Steering the S.S. Linebeck into an island's dock while traversing the World of the Ocean King allows Link to visit the island.
