==The Wind Waker==
The '''Ghost Ship''' is a location that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. It is a haunted ship said to be filled with treasure. Although it is difficult to find and enter, [[Link]] must track it down in both games to reach his final destination.
The '''Ghost Ship''' holds one of the eight [[Triforce Chart]]s that point to a location on the bottom of the sea where a shard of the [[Triforce of Courage]] rests. In order to board the Ghost Ship, Link is required to retrieve the [[Special Chart]] from [[Diamond Steppe Island]], an island in sector A6. The interior of the Ghost Ship is very similar to that of Tetra's Pirate Ship.


==Phantom Hourglass==
==Apperances==
Link, Tetra, and her pirate crew were searching unknown waters hoping to cross paths with the fabled Ghost Ship. There is a rumor that there is a heap of treasure on board, so Tetra, without thinking, hops on board. A bolt of lightning strikes the mast of the Ghost Ship, and the pirates and Link are left stunned to hear Tetra's helpless shriek. Link attempts to go after her, but loses his grip and plunges into the waters below.
===The Wind Waker===
The Ghost Ship is a mysterious, intangible ship that sails around the [[Great Sea]]. It only appears at night on different island with every phase of the moon. In order to board the Ghost Ship, Link is required to retrieve the [[Ghost Ship Chart]] from [[Diamond Steppe Island]], an island in sector A6. The chart can also show which island Ghost Ship is currently haunting. If Link attempts to board the ship without the chart in hand, it merely disappears when he comes near it.{{Ref|WW|4289|Fishman}}


The first half of Link's quest in Phantom Hourglass is centered around tracking down the Ghost Ship in order to rescue Tetra. After he gathers the Spirits of Power, Wisdom and Courage, he is able to seek out the Ghost Ship in the thick fog of the western half of the Northwestern Seas. After sneaking past monsters known as [[Reapling]]s, Link is taken on by the [[Cubus Sisters]] in a match of Dead Man's Volley. Link later discovers that the rumor is only to lure more victims into the trap and he finds Tetra turned to stone in the lower decks of the Ghost Ship--her life drained away.
The interior of the Ghost Ship is very similar to that of [[Tetra]]'s [[Pirate Ship]]. However, its hull is destroyed in many places, allowing a small beam of light to enter, which Link can reflect using his [[Mirror Shield]]. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD|HD version]], the floor is also covered with a strange mist with ghostly faces in it. There are two rows of skulls along the sides of the room, and two [[Poe]]s hovering near them. A [[Wizzrobe]] is also present, which will summon other enemies to fight Link until it is defeated. After all of the enemies on the ship are slain, a ladder drops down, allowing Link to access the back room of the ship. Inside is a [[Treasure Chest|treasure chest]] that contains either a [[Triforce Chart]] in the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] version or a [[Triforce Shard]] in the HD remake. After he opens the chest, an eerie laugh sounds through the ship, and Link wakes up on [[King of Red Lions]] at the next morning. The Ghost Ship no longer appears on the Great Sea after this.


A monster known as [[Bellum]], who feeds on a magic known as life force, is the mastermind behind the Ghost Ship and [[Oshus]] explains his involvment in the story.
The Ghost Ship has quite the reputation around the Great Sea. The [[Fishman|Fishmen]] often offer the hero warnings that it is a terrifying sight.{{Ref|WW|4274|Fishman}}{{Ref|WW|4287|Fishman}}{{Ref|WW|4302|Fishman}} [[Lenzo]], a photographer on [[Windfall Island]], possess a picture of the evasive Ghost Ship.{{Ref|ww|2830|Lenzo}} He infoms Link that the man who followed the ship in order to write out the Ghost Ship Chart died mysteriously shortly after.{{Ref|ww|2831|Lenzo}}
