Papuchia Village
Papuchia Village is a location in Spirit Tracks.[1]
Features and Overview
Papuchia Village is the primary area of activity within the Ocean Realm. Located just past the southwest entrance to the Ocean Realm, the coastal 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 is also Hyrule's main supply of Fish, due to its coastal location. In the middle of the main area of the Village resides an elderly woman known as the Wise One. All of the Villagers greatly trust in her words of wisdom,[citation needed] and Link can go visit her to reveal his fortune any time he wishes.
Papuchia also has its own Shop that is owned by Kogane and offers travelers basic items like Arrows, Bombs and Potions, among other things. To the southeast of the Village is a small island that leads to Papuchia Village South, which is where the Stamp Station is located. This area can only be reached by using the Song of Birds to attract Whip Birds, and the Whip to latch onto them.
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.[2] Upon learning the Song of Birds from a Air Stone hidden in front of a tree, Link is able to get Carben's attention and take him aboard the Spirit Train back to the Sanctuary, evading a gang of Pirates along the way. There, they can perform the necessary Song of Restoration using the Spirit Flute to restore the lost Spirit Tracks of the Ocean Realm and thus reach the Ocean Temple.[3]
Also in the Village, anytime after the Ocean Temple has been cleared, Orca rewards Link with a Force Gem that extends the Forest Realm's Tracks when he presents Dovok to her as her future husband. After the Fire Temple has been cleared as well, Niboshi 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. Wadatsumi, a villager held captive in the Pirate Hideout will also give Link a Force Gem that extends the Ocean Realm's Tracks once he is rescued and brought home.

I'm at Papuchia Village visiting my sky friends. -Carben
— Carben (Spirit Tracks) - ↑
The nerve! There I was, flying high in the sky, unwinding... Then you play the Song of Birds, and I come crashing down! Don't you know that song has the power to call birds to you? [...] Hmph. Let me guess--you want me to restore the Spirit Tracks, don't you? I was hoping to relax a little longer, but fine. Take me to the Ocean Sanctuary on your train.
