{{DISPLAYTITLE: ''S.S. Linebeck''}}

|name= ''S.S. Linebeck''

The ''{{Term/Store|S.S. Linebeck||Series, PH}}'' is the boat that [[Link]], [[Ciela]] and [[Linebeck]] use to travel the [[World of the Ocean King]] in {{PH}}.

The ''S.S. Linebeck'' is controlled by drawing its path on the bottom screen of the [[Nintendo DS]]. While out on the sea, there will be an arrow at the bottom of the screen which can be pressed to make the ship jump and evade [[Sea Trap]]s. The side of the touch screen has a gear with the words "Go" and "Stop" to halt the ship if necessary. When Link buys the [[Cannon]] from [[Eddo]], it will be immediately installed onto the ship, where Link will have an infinite amount of [[Bomb]]s to destroy enemies out on the sea by just tapping the monster. Eventually the [[Salvage Arm]] will also get installed on the ship to obtain treasure from deep beneath the waves.

Towards the end of the game, the ''S.S. Linebeck'' gets completely destroyed after Link and Linebeck defeat the Ghost Ship. Once the [[Ocean King]] returns to his original form, Linebeck, instead of asking for treasure, asks for his ship back. The ''S.S. Linebeck'' is last seen during the game's ending when Link watches it sailing away without any visible damages.

The ''S.S. Linebeck'' is completely customizable, and most of its ship parts can be randomly found either in treasures from dungeons, the ocean floor, or by trading them with other users via Wi-Fi. Once he has obtained a ship part, it will immediately be transferred to the Shipyard in Mercay Island, where the young hero can talk to the man there to customize the boat as Link pleases.<ref>{{Cite|Come on in.

In the {{PH|Himekawa}}, the ''S.S. Linebeck'' makes its first appearance after Ciela assumes that Linebeck's ship is not seaworthy.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Anyway, I bet his ship...Isn't even seaworthy!|book= {{PH|Himekawa|-}}|publisher= VIZ Media|page= 42}}</ref> Link is stunned to see the ship and claims that it is awesome.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Wow!
