Lookout platforms are towers propped up around the Great Sea in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. They are small outposts used by enemies such as Bokoblins, Kargarocs and Wizzrobes, and all of them have a skull facing a certain direction. Some lookout platforms have cannons that shoot at Link and the King of Red Lions if they are within range. Lookout platforms also have pots that Link can break, and also have Treasure Chests that Link can obtain by defeating all enemies and cannons. The Platform Chart shows what sections of the Great Sea have lookout platforms, as well as how many are in that section.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, lookout platforms appear in the background of the Pirate Ship stage. As the ship passes by, the lookout platforms randomly shoot cannonballs at players when the ship passes by. The stage returns in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in which it has an Omega form which takes place on a lookout platform. In the latter game, some of the lookout platform was converted into a platform floating on the Great Sea. Some of its features were removed, such as the mounted cannons and the small roof with a skull. The lookout platform no longer has a visible wooden pole sticking out of the sea, and the ladder was made a lot shorter.
