The Ghost Ship is a haunted wooden ship that appears in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. In its debut appearance, the Ghost Ship has a derelict, transparent design, but has been redesigned entirely in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, where it is no longer partially transparent.
History
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the Ghost Ship appears around certain islands of the Great Sea depending on the phase of the moon. It is surrounded by small, blue flames, and the sky is covered in dark gray clouds whenever the Ghost Ship is in that area. Link cannot go onto Ghost Ship unless he has obtained the Ghost Ship Chart, otherwise the Ghost Ship vanishes if Link and the King of Red Lions approach it.
With the Ghost Ship Chart, Link automatically goes into the ship when he approaches it. He must defeat two Poes and a Wizzrobe, who can summon ReDeads and Stalfoses. After defeating the enemies, a ladder drops, and Link can climb it to enter a room with a Treasure Chest. He can open the chest to obtain a Triforce Chart (or a Triforce Shard in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD). After collecting the item, a loud, ghostly laughter is heard, and Link returns back at sea on the King of Red Lions. Once Link has collected the treasure, the Ghost Ship vanishes from the Great Sea entirely.
The Ghost Ship appears at either one of seven islands.
| Island | Moon phase |
|---|---|
| A6 Diamond Steppe Island | Waxing gibbous |
| B4 Greatfish Isle | Waning gibbous |
| C2 Spectacle Isle | Waxing crescent |
| E1 Crescent Moon Island | Full moon |
| F5 Bomb Island | First quarter |
| G3 Star Belt Archipelago | Third quarter |
| G7 Five-Star Isles | Waning crescent |

General information
Appearance
In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the interior of the Ghost Ship is a wide, mostly empty area except for a row of four skulls on the left and right sides each. A small beam of light emitting from the right side. Link starts on an elevated platform, and the wooden floor appears below. Part of the roof is missing, and the sky background is black and shows a pattern of ghosts. On the opposite side of the entrance is a yellow ladder connected to another wooden platform that leads into the room with six vases and a Treasure Chest. A golden face with a large grin is on the wall behind the Treasure Chest. If Link looks at it from a first-person view, the golden face has a neutral expression.
In The Wind Waker HD, the floor of the Ghost Ship is covered in a blue mist with ghostly faces. The room with the Treasure Chest has two pairs of blue window valances attached to the ceiling, and the golden face on the wall is always shown with a neutral expression.
Trivia
- A slightly edited version of the Ghost Ship's sky background is a background in three galaxies of Super Mario Galaxy, each with a haunted theme, Ghostly Galaxy, Bonefin Galaxy, and Boo's Boneyard Galaxy.
