However, Maps were crucial for exploration in both {{PH|-}} and ''Spirit Tracks''. No region of the Overworld in {{PH|-}} could be explored until Link had a Sea Chart for that area, each of which could be found in the [[Temple of the Ocean King]].<ref>{{Cite|You got the Northwestern Sea chart!

This is much like the [[Rail Map]] in ''Spirit Tracks'', which had also had four parts, one for each of the four realms.

Some of the lost Spirit Tracks on it are reappearing!|N/A|ST}}</ref> To travel across either of these Overworlds, a course must be charted on the Maps themselves.<ref>{{Cite|Tap the Feather Pen icon to access your navigation chart.

The Dungeon Map was not an Item in these titles, but the Map of an entire floor is available upon entering it, so each floor had to be explored to view the full Map.<ref>{{Cite book|quote=You can only look at maps of the floors you have visited. After you visit a floor for the first time, you can always view the map. |book=Phantom Hourglass Official Game Guide |publisher= Prima Games |page=9}}</ref> These games also lacked the Compass, so Treasure Chests could not be found by using one; Link instead had to pay [[Gossip Stone]]s to reveal the treasures on each floor of Dungeon for the cost of twenty [[Rupees]].<ref>{{Cite|The number of treasure chests left here...is...
