In Hyrule Warriors Legends, Iron Ships appear as an Item Card on the Grand Travels Map in Adventure Mode. Although the Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks Pack released simultaneously for Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends, the Grand Travels Map was not included with the Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks Pack for the original Hyrule Warriors, so Iron Ships were first introduced in the Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks Pack for Hyrule Warriors Legends.[3][4] Because Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition came with all previous Downloadable Content packs included, Iron Ships are available from the moment Adventure Mode is unlocked.[5]
Iron Ships can be obtained by getting one as a battle reward. Because the Grand Travels Map is split between Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass-based sections, Iron Ships only appear as victory rewards of battles to the right on the pink dividing line. In Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, Iron Ships can also be purchased from the Item Card Shop for 20,000 Rupees.
When an Iron Ship is used, every battle across the Grand Travels Map will have a higher completion time requirement for certain battle ranks, which makes it easier for Warriors to finish a battle in time to get higher ranks.[1][6] The Captain Power provided by the Iron Ship runs for three battles.
Iron Ships can be traded for a random delicious-type Food at the Linebeck Trading Company.[7] While searching a map space with the Linebeck Trading Company, any Item Card can be traded by selecting it.[8] After a single trade, the company will disappear from the space.[9] During a Two-for-One Sale, two delicious Foods will be given instead of just one.[10]
