King of Red Lions
The King of Red Lions is a talking boat that Link befriends on the Great Sea in The Wind Waker. Link uses The King of Red Lions to travel the sea, and the King gives advice to Link while on their travels. Link receives the Wind Waker from this boat. He is first met after Link attempts to tackle the Forsaken Fortress, and rescues him after he is flung from the tower by the Helmaroc King. After being flung out to the Great Sea, the King of Red Lions finds him somewhere on the Great Sea, and takes him to shore on Windfall Island. Upon awakening, the King of Red Lions introduces himself to Link. Upon discovering Windfall Island, Link must find a Sail to travel across the sea with his boat. The King of Red Lions is also armored with gears, such as a bomb cannon, and a salvage crane that can be attached with the Grappling Hook to find treasures within the depths of the sea.
