Ghost Ship




 * See also: Ghost Ship (Phantom Hourglass)

In The Wind Waker, at midnight the Ghost Ship haunts the Great Sea. It appears on different islands depending on the moon. The ship is doomed to sail the Great Sea until freed from its curse. Only the one holding the Ghost Ship Chart can enter the ship and free it from its curse. Unfortunately, the map was hidden on Diamond Steppe Island. The souls of those who are still trapped on the ship will unwillingly try to stop the anyone who boards their ship. If the curse is broken then the ship will disappear.

According to the character Lenzo, the sailor who made the Ghost Ship Chart was following the frightening vehicle across all of its destinations; and when the cyclic trip was done, he died suddenly. Interestingly, Link does not die if he visits constantly the Ghost Ship whereabouts. In fact, there is actually nothing from the ship that can damage Link, except the enemies within; even so, for some reason, the fishmen warn him not to visit the destinations of the Ghost Ship when it appears. The Ghost Ship appears at the following islands, in this order: Crescent Moon Island, Diamond Steppe Island, Bomb Island, Spectacle Isle, Five Star Isles, Star Belt Archipelago and Greatfish Isle; because of this, there's no night during which the ship does not appear in the Great Sea, at least not until its treasure is collected.
