Unbeknown to Queen Ambi, Captain originally vanished in Ambi's time because he and his crew got trapped in the Sea of Storms in the course of his exploration and could not get out.

He notices that the two look at him like he is a monster, and assures them that the pirates would not take a life without just cause. Since a long time has passed, the Captain asks for news about the world. Link asks the pirate how long he has been at sea. The Captain responds that he does not know. He had crossed the seas many times gathering knowledge and tales, but wants to speak with living, breathing people. Hearing this, Link asks if the Captain knows anything about Veran. The Captain says she is a sorceress who possesses people. Link asks if he knows of Veran's weakness, although the Captain refuses to tell unless Link answers his questions.
