The King of Red Lions rescues and guides Link, providing the means to explore the Great Sea. His knowledge of the world hints at a deeper connection to its history.

  • Story: He directs the early sailing route and explains the larger stakes behind the island adventure. His identity becomes important during the later story.
  • In the game: In the original GameCube game, plan sailing around wind direction and supplies. Ship tools such as the cannon and salvage equipment serve different purposes; choose the correct mode before approaching a sea target.
