Raft
The Raft is an obtainable item in The Legend of Zelda. This item is used by Link to travel across large bodies of water, like a lake. It is found in the third dungeon of the game, Level 3: The Manji.
Destinations
The only use of the Raft is to travel across large bodies of water to reach the other side. This can only be done in two locations, and they are both shown below.
Level 4: The Snake
The Raft is required to reach Level 4: The Snake, as it is found on a little island that's found in the middle of the large lake in the middle of Hyrule. If Link walks up to the dock in the screen right below the dungeon, he can walk off and the Raft will automatically take off and send Link to the Level 4.
Heart Container
On the other side of Hyrule, there is also a small island that is seemingly unreachable. However, Link can use his Raft again and he will be send right to this island. On this inside there is an entrance to a cave that looks very much like a dungeon. Inside, the Old Man will offer Link a Heart Container and a 2nd Potion. He will say to choose anyone he wants.[1] This is one of many of these types of locations.
