Papuchia Village

Papuchia Village is the primary area of activity within the Ocean Realm in Spirit Tracks. It is inhabited primarily by Hylian villagers who greatly honor the village's most interesting inhabitant, an elderly fortune-teller known as the Wise One.

Located just past the entrance bridge leading into the Ocean Realm, Papuchia Village is a favorite place to visit for the Ocean Realm's Lokomo sage, Carben, who comes to the village to converse with the birds that gather there and fly low in circles over the village. The village itself is relatively small, with only only a few huts built across the small archipelago that comprises the ground upon which the village is built. Link comes to the village after visiting the Ocean Sanctuary and learning that Carben has left the sanctuary to visit with his bird friends in the village. After learning the Song of Birds, Link is able to get Carben's attention and takes him aboard the Spirit Train back to the sanctuary (dodging pirates along the way) in order to perform the necessary duet with the Lokomo using the Spirit Flute to restore the lost Spirit Tracks of the Ocean Realm and thus reach the Ocean Temple.

Force Gems
The Fish Saleswoman will reward Link with a Force Gem that extends the Ocean Realm's tracks to reveal the Pirate Hideout in return for bringing her the Mega Ice to keep her fish fresh. The Pirate's Prisoner in the Pirate Hideout will give Link a Force Gem that extends the Ocean Realm tracks as well once he is rescued. Furthermore, a woman rewards Link with a Force Gem that extends the Forest Realm's tracks when he presents the Whittleton Chief to her as her future husband.

Trivia

 * In the rail map, Papuchia Village is shown to be to the left if Link enters it from the Forest Realm. However, it is on the opposite side.
