Biography

File:Cap'n.png

Prior to the events of the Oracle games, Queen Ambi fell in love with a sea-faring man, the Captain, who was the leader of a band of pirates.[1] However, he set sail one day and never came back, which prompted Queen Ambi to begin a project that would guide the Captain home from his lost adventure: to construct an immense tower that would be tall enough so that it could see out all across the land and act as a large beacon that would guide the Captain to Labrynna. 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.[2]

In a Linked Oracle of Seasons, the storyline brought up but never completed in Oracle of Ages of Queen Ambi's long lost lover is concluded. After clearing the Ancient Ruins, Queen Ambi will be at the Samasa Desert entrance, sent there by Nayru at the queen's request.[3] Ambi ends up meeting up again with the Captain, and although he says he wished he could stay,[4] Ambi interrupts him and tells him she understands why he must leave her side again: he is a seafaring man and cannot live his life on land. Before departing ways again, Ambi promises the Captain that she will always be waiting for his return.[5]

Biography

Oracle of Ages

In Oracle of Ages, the Captain appears trapped in a large ring of whirlpools within the Sea of Storms in the past,[6] accessible after the seventh dungeon. The Captain is able to escape the sea once Link gives him the Zora Scale he obtained recently, which is a powerful charm capable of calming the seas.[7] The Captain declares he and his crew are off to Holodrum.[8] Before leaving, he gives Link the Tokay Eyeball as a sign of his thanks.[9]

Oracle of Seasons

In Oracle of Seasons, the Piratian Ship shipwrecks in Samasa Desert, plunging the crew into Subrosia.[10] Stranded, the captain and his crew take up residence in the House of Pirates. During the shipwreck, the Captain loses his bell.[11] He sends some members of his crew to search for it,[12] refusing to leave until it is found.[13] Once Link completes the Ancient Ruins, the Captain deems the young hero to be a competent adventurer and asks him to help search for the bell.[14][15] Once Link finds and fixes the bell, the Captain orders the crew to set sail,[16] However, they are soon overcome with seasickness, having been on land for so long.[17][18] He orders the crew to dock the ship in a bay on the Western Coast. Link can use the ship as a bridge to the Graveyard and Explorer's Crypt.[19]
