The Temple of the Ocean King: 1F,[1] also known as the Ocean Temple 1F,[2] is a location in Phantom Hourglass.

Features and Overview

The Temple of the Ocean King: 1F is the first floor beyond the Entry Hall in the Temple of the Ocean King. Link first visits this floor while searching for Linebeck, a sailor who can help Link find the Ghost Ship that has captured Tetra.[3][4] When Link and Ciela enter the floor, they hear a distant voice calling to them.[5][6] Ciela quickly identifies the source as Linebeck, who stands trapped in a room just north of them.[7]

According to Linebeck, he sprained his ankle while trying to leave the Temple of the Ocean King and requires Link's help to remove the Floor Spike blocking his way out.[8][9][note 1] He tells Link that some mechanism on the floor must control the trap holding him, and warns that the Temple is cursed to drain the life of anyone who walks its floors.[12] After Ciela reprimands him for withholding that information, he continues that some parts of the floor contain Safe Zones where people can safely walk.[13] He points out the presence of these Safe Zones on Link's Map and advises breaking Jar to recover any lost health from traveling between them.[14]

The floor is roughly shaped like an hourglass that is divided into two halves. It bears 10 Safe Zones, which are usually found at angles in the terrain. The upper half of the floor is separated by a Locked Door, and a second stone Door leading upstairs. This stone Door bears the Crest of Din and refuses to budge if inspected.[15] Beside the Locked Door, there is a Shock Switch that controls the Floor Spike keeping Linebeck in place. If Link activates the Shock Switch, Linebeck will dash away from his position.[16]

He can then be found at the entrance to the floor, where Ciela accuses him of lying about his sprained ankle.[17] Linebeck dismisses her accusation and introduces himself to Link before asking what they are doing in the Temple.[18][19] Upon hearing that they are looking for the Ghost Ship, he accuses them of trying to chase after its rumored treasure.[20] He is quickly corrected by Ciela and opportunistically offers to do what little he can to help Link with his allegedly sprained ankle.[21] Tasking Link with searching for clues of the Ghost Ship under the guise of sharing the glory, Linebeck gives him a Small Key that he found somewhere in the floor.[22][23][24] If spoken to after this, Linebeck urges Link to consider his lost friend aboard the Ghost Ship.[25]

With the Small Key, Link can now proceed beyond the Locked Door to the northern half of the floor. This portion contains two Shock Switches at opposite ends of its maze-like structure. These Shock Switches are timed and will deactivate shortly after they are struck, requiring Link to quickly navigate to the other end of the floor upon activating one. They will also temporarily deactivate any nearby Floor Spikes, and will permanently deactivate them upon both being struck. When both are struck, the door to the northern chamber will open, allowing Link to access the Treasure Chest inside. This Treasure Chest contains a Sea Chart of the World of the Ocean King's Southwestern Sea.[26][27] Upon returning to Linebeck's position with the Sea Chart, Link and Ciela will discover that he has already left.[28]
