Sea Trap

"Hazard ahead! Leap it!"

- Linebeck

Sea Traps are plant-based hazards found on the sea in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. They appear as two floating cactus-like masses connected by spiky vines. They appear in the Southwestern Sea, the Northwestern Sea, and the Northeastern Sea, surfacing abruptly in the SS Linebeck's path a short distance ahead. When one appears, Linebeck calls attention to it, and the player can either jump over it, use a cannon on the two floats to sink it, or re-plot the course around it. They are the first encountered on the way to the Isle of Ember for the first time, and are the only enemy of any sort encountered on the sea until the cannon is obtained. When the first one appears, Linebeck stops the ship to explain what it is.

It is possible for one to spawn extremely near a boardable boat such as Beedle's shop; if this happens, it will immediately go back under the water.
