Most of the manga's Chapter 7, The Pirate Captain, takes place on the Pirate Ship. It is first shown as Link and Ralph cling to their raft during a storm. The two are rescued and brought aboard.[20] It is here that Link and Ralph meet the Captain and learn about his past. The Ship itself is not shown again until the Captain sets course for Labrynna,[21] making the vessel fight against the storm it has been trapped in for years.[22] After a battle on the deck, the Captain allows Link and Ralph to leave the Pirate Ship.[23] It is last seen disappearing into the storm.
Ghost Pirate Ship
The Ghost Pirate Ship,(OoAOracle of Ages)[1] also known as the Pirates' Ship,(OoSOracle of Seasons)[2] is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series.[name references needed] It is staffed by the Cap'n and his crew of Piratians.
Overview
Oracle of Seasons
The well-being of the Pirates' Ship directly influences Link's passage to the Graveyard and the Explorer's Crypt, the penultimate dungeon in Oracle of Seasons. While sailing to Holodrum, a large storm strands the bow of the ship in the Samasa Desert and the stern in Subrosia, near the Subrosia Seaside.[3][4] The Cap'n does not give the orders to fix the damaged ship until Link finds and polishes the Rusty Bell,[5][6] a relic from the Cap'n's love, Queen Ambi,[7][8][9] that was lost in the storm.[10] Link finds the rusted bell in the Samasa Desert, has it polished by the Subrosian Smithy,[11] and returns it the Cap'n. The Cap'n motivates his crew to fix the ship's damage[12] and drives the ship out of Subrosia towards the Western Coast of Holodrum. The ship docks at the Western Coast, allowing Link passage to the Graveyard and the Explorer's Crypt.[13]
Oracle of Ages
The unforgiving Sea of Storms[14] stalls the Ghost Pirate Ship abreast a ring of whirlpools in the past era of Oracle of Ages.[15] The Cap'n tells Link that the Sea of Storms disrupted his return voyage from Holodrum,[16] and that the Zora Scale is a powerful charm capable of calming these seas.[17] After Link gives the Cap'n the Zora Scale, the Cap'n declares he and his crew are off to Holodrum once again.[18] The Cap'n presents Link the Tokay Eyeball as a token of gratitude, before departing.[19]
