Hey! You got a bite! The key to fishing is knowing when to pull up on your rod and reel in! If you don't do anything, the gauge on the top sceen will drop fast! Make the gauge rise by sliding down on the screen away from the fish! While the gauge is up, reel in the fish by making circles with your stylus!
Slide the stylus downward! Move the rod to make the gauge go up! The key is to pull your rod away from the direction of the fish! When the gauge is up, make small circles with your stylus to reel in!
The fish will jump! This one is tricky! When it jumps, take the stylus off the screen and ease up, or it'll get away!
When the fish jumps, ease up on the rod! Take the stylus off!
OK, so it's your first time fishing, Link! I will teach you some of the secrets of fishing! Slide the stylus down the screen to pull up on your rod! To reel in, make small circles with your stylus! When you get a bite, lift up on the rod to set the hook! Timing is key!
To lift up on your rod, slide the stylus down on the Touch Screen! Make small circles with your stylus to reel your line in! When a fish bites, pull up on your rod. You've got to have good timing!
And there's a stowfish too! It doesn't have any particular meaning, but it somehow makes me happy!
All right, kid. I'll tell you all about how to use the Salvage Arm. All kinds of treasure rest at the bottom of the sea! Use the Salvage Arm to pull that treasure up! See the bar controlling the arm at the bottom of the screen? Tap and drag this right or left to move the arm under the water. Move it up or down to adjust how fast the arm moves. But there are Octomines down there that will explode if you touch them! It takes a steady hand to move the arm carefully and steer clear of them!
What're you doing, kid?! You're wrecking the Salvage Arm!
All right! Bring 'er up!
Awww, you broke the Salvage Arm, kid!
Hurry, Link!
Huh? The fog is thickening!
Be careful now, Link!
This fog is maddening! I can't even see my hand in front of my face!
Where are you when I need you, wind? Why don't you blow this stupid fog AWAY!
Don't let it escape, Link!
Go scuttle that blasted thing, pronto!
Bah, that treasure's right in front of our noses! I can smell the wealth!
The Ghost Ship! Still haven't caught up yet?
Hurry up already, Link!
Hey, there! Wait! The Ghost Ship...
Bah! This fog is really annoying, isn't it...
A true man of the sea won't give up that easily!
Keep us on course, Link!
You got the Sun Key! This key is the same shape as a crest that you saw.
You caught a skippyjack! It measures … ft., … in.! These fish are common, but they sure are tasty. Check it on the Collection screen.
You caught a toona! It measures … ft., … in.! Among more common varieties, it's pretty big. Check it on your Collection screen.
You caught a loovar! It measures … ft., … in.! It's not very pretty, but it's very mild mannered. Check it on the Collection screen!
You caught a rusty swordfish! It measures … ft., … in.! This is a big one! Look at that impressive pattern on its back!
You caught the legendary fish...Neptoona! It measures … ft., … in.! Fishermen swap tales of this mythical fish! Take it to the adventurer!
Ha! That attack was NOTHING!
Hey! You have to shoot down incoming attacks before they hit us!
Watch its attacks closely!
Bah! What are you doing?!
Full steam ahead! Wahoo!
Hey! Nice work, kid!
You're pretty good, kid!
Shoot until the cannon barrel catches fire!
WAHOOOOOOOOOO!
Yes! You've got it!
Fire a salvo at those eyeballs, kid!
Shoot all of its eyeballs! Put an end to that thing!
FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!
Looking good so far, Link!
Keep it up!
You're almost as amazing as I am, kid!
Direct hit!
Wait! It's a monster!
Shoot, Link!
You've got this captain's blood boiling!
I own these seas! And I'm not gonna put up with this!
I'm fighting right there with you this time, kid!
OK! Let's climb aboard! But wait...before you do that... This will be dangerous! Shouldn't you save first? YesNope
Saving...
Save complete.
Now that you've taken precautions and saved... Let's climb aboard!
No time to throw caution to the wind! Save, kid! SaveNope
Fine! Come on, then! Let's climb aboard!
Had enough punishment from the S.S. Linebeck?!
It's off to the open sea with us, then! I'll leave all the navigation to you while I stay down in the engine room. Tap the Feather Pen icon to access your navigation chart. Just draw a line and the ship will follow that exact path. Try it out!
What?! What happened?! We were chugging along, making headway there... Bah! You think maybe... Could it be the influence of the Ghost Ship? Now what did I hear about that...oh, yeah! It's always surrounded by infernal fog! And that fog leads ships horribly astray! I think it's best that we beat a hasty retreat, Link! Maybe someone on one of the nearby islands knows a way through this fog!
So that means there's no point in flailing! We're blind as a bat in a bucket!
Now that we have a big cannon, I'd better show you how to handle that thing! Just tap anything you see, and the cannon fires at it! Have a blast with it, kid.
Wh-what?! The fog! This is ridiculous!
That nasty thing is between us and the island, kid! Now, its weak spot is... Well, I guess if I knew, we wouldn't be in this stew. But the weak spot's gotta be, uh, on its body somewhere! One thing I do know! Chart a new course so we stay on the move around it. Don't be a bobbing log. Evade attacks while you watch for its weak spot! And if that thing gets close with any attacks, blast away with the cannon!
Huh?! What now?! What's going on here? The ship...it's suddenly stuck!
Good work! We did it! You and I make a good team, kid! Now we can dock safely. Let's cruise over there, navigator!
Oh! Almost forgot! See the engine on the right? Tap STOP to stop. To resume course, tap GO. While at sea, if you want to look around the sea, touch the screen's edge. Stay alert up there! Touch up, down, left, and right to look in all directions.
Aaaah! What was that?! Total lunacy, I tell you! That sea cyclone was so powerful that it was off the charts! Unbelievable! Until that cyclone subsides, we'd better not head north again...
Aaaah! What was that?! Madness, I tell you! Well, it looks like we can't head up north that way, at least for the time being. We'd better try another route. What a pain!
Unbelievable! We got blown far off course! Do me a favor and steer the ship away from things like that, kid! Gulp! Don't do that again!
We made it through that horrible fog! Finally!
Just look at that sun again! It's so bright!
The spirits are hot on the trail of the Ghost Ship, Link! Want to let them help us find the Ghost Ship? YesNope
All right! As usual, I'll stay down in the engine room. Take the helm, Link!
OK, maybe it's better that we don't take it on now... Then let's turn back, Link!
What?! If you veer that way, you'll get farther away from the Ghost Ship! Do you really intend to leave this part of the sea? YesNope
OK, let's get out of here!
That's the spirit! Let's get this exploration under way!
Hold up! Watch where your course is taking us, Link! Your course has us in the proximity of certain doom! Those rocks look brutal! No way to bust through unless we get our hands on a cannon or something! Hmmm...a cannon...
Hey, here's some advice, whether you want it or not, Link! The vast sea holds many perils and barriers that can get in a sailor's path. There's only one remedy for it: a cannon! With it, you can blast a tiny cyclone to smithereens! And you can take out obstacles, no problem! Blammo! Listen up when a seasoned sailor gives you advice. A cannon's what you need!
OK, listen up. You need to do some precise steering here! Here's how this is gonna work! Set the engine to GO to make the ship move. Then to steer the ship right, touch right. And touch left to turn left, of course. You can touch anywhere on the screen to steer, not just on the wheel! Pay close attention to the spirits' reactions as you turn the ship! They'll go wild when pointed more directly at the Ghost Ship! Now go!
Huh?! I feel strange... I feel something creepy...an eerie tingle in my spine! Feel anything weird, Link?
Stop right there!
I'VE FINALLY FOUND YOU, LINEBECK!
Oh-no-oh-no-oh-no! It's HER! Jolene! She's CRAZY! She's crazier than a rabid squid! Way back, when Jolene and I were kids... Ah, forget it! No time for that story! Not when Jolene is gunning for our ship! Always run from Jolene! Set a course for anywhere FAR away from HER! She'll shoot torpedoes at us! Make the ship leap over them before they hit!
I've got my hooks in you now, Linebeck! Try to outrun 'n' outgun the She-Pirate Jolene, will you?!
I found you, Linebeck! It's been ages since our last encounter!
Aha! Linebeck sighting! I'm gonna scuttle you for good! Don't you dare run!
I've found you, Linebeck! Give up! It's futile to run!
Ha! That our paths crossed here, Linebeck, tells me that your luck has not changed! It's still more rotten than the planks on your little shrimp barge!
Why the rush, Linebeck?! I'll break your ship in two no matter where you run on this vast sea. Stay put!
Look there! That island isn't marked on our charts, Link! And it looks like we can dock there! There! I've just added the isle to your chart! Why not set a course for it?
Who knew there was an uncharted island nearby? What a discovery! Let's explore it! I've added it to your chart, so why not set a course there?
Now that we have a new sea chart, let's set a course north and explore! I'll tell you what I know about how to navigate our way up there. The sea chart of the Northwestern Sea covers a whole area north of here. So draw a course to the top of our chart until you see Northwestern Sea. After we reach it, you must draw our next leg on the Northwestern Sea chart. Neat, huh? Right? Right?!
The ship sails on its own. And we're off!
And...hold there.
H-hang on a moment, Link. Look... C-c-could that be the...
......... It has surfaced at last! The Ghost Ship! I can't believe that we're laying eyes on it! Let's follow it! Let's go get our treasure!
Bah! Ambush!
Hey! What's the deal with all this ice? We can't dock, Link! But I'm having one of my brilliant ideas! No, really! Do you see it already? Chart a course around the icy isle! We'll obliterate it all with the cannon!
All right! We blasted all of that ice and sent it sinking into the sea! Hey, I wonder what kind of bizarre creatures are waiting to welcome us? Or will they lash out at us? Either way, let's go there, Link!
Not this thing again! Wh-why here?! When's this thing going to stay in the deeps where it belongs?!
Phew! That's enough! We can finally dock and start poking around the island!
Wow! What in the world is this?!
Whoa! That was crazy! Who did that cyclone think it was, anyway? The engine is soaked... We're stuck! Uh...hang on... Does something feel odd to you? AGGGGH! Look, kid!
What is that disgusting thing?! And at a time like this... This day couldn't get any worse! OK, but we need to face up to it, Link! A monster like that, who knows how to deal with it... Maybe... OH! FIRE! Fire! Fire! And fire some more! Yeah, as long as you keep shooting, we just might survive this. I'll man the machinery, you just aim and fire!
Wow, how'd we do that?! We sent it to the bottom of the sea, Link! And, hey! The engine's had a chance to dry out! So set our course. Let's go!
Oh, no! What's happening?! The engine's gone dead! Just my dumb luck. Looks bad, kid! Here comes trouble!
Wow! I'm dizzy... That cyclone clearly isn't letting us anywhere near that island! ...Ah, well! Maybe we should search this area for clues, Link. Hop to! I really wish that you'd start developing an instinct for these things!
Want to board this ship, Link? YesNo
We've finally found the Ghost Ship...
Let's climb aboard!
Hey, see that weird thing that just surfaced, Link? It's called a Sea Trap, and we're headed right for it! We can't attack it, so we have only one option: make the ship jump over it! Tap the Jump Arrow at the screen's bottom to jump, but only at the right time!
One of those weird things we call a Sea Trap just emerged, Link! We're on a collision course! So, two options! Blast each end...or jump the thing! Time it right and tap the Jump Arrow at the bottom of the screen to leap!
OK, we've made it exactly where the crest is, but there's nothing here! Nothing that looks like the crest, anyway... Just a bunch of sea. Well, maybe...there's something here, but below! At the bottom of the sea! Don't look at me like I'm crazy. Maybe it's down there under the sea! But I'm not getting wet, kid. I...uh...can't even swim.
Heh, strange-lookin' key you got there. It's shaped like the sun, but what's that supposed to mean, kid?
Hey, kid! I just remembered something brilliant. When we were chasing that Ghost Ship, remember how it vanished into the fog? I'll bet that Ghost Ship is hiding in the fog! Yeah, the fog! Lay a course for the soupiest fog you can find, Link!
What?!
...... Did you see that, kid?! The cyclone...it just vanished! I guess that story about the necklace opening the way was true after all!
K-keep your eyes open!
Direct hit! We'll be ruined!
No more! No more!
Blast it! I can't swim, I'm telling you!
Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
Huh? Can't see what's right in front of your face?!
Bit of a jolt there!
Can't take even a single scratch!
Course set! Let's go!
Hard turn to starboard!
Hard turn to port!
Ouch! Just a scratch, right?
Hey! Asleep at the wheel?
Aaaah! We won't last long at this rate!
W-w-we're going down!
You proud of yourself, kid?
What, we got hit?!
Heh, heh...that doesn't help!
Did we hit something?!
And we're off!
Shipping out! Raise anchor!
Wh-what is it? What?!
Hazard ahead! Leap it!
Enemy sighted!
WAHOOOO!
OK, end of the line! Where next, navigator?
????
Go to the Southwestern Sea
Go to the Northwestern Sea
Go to the Southeastern Sea
Go to the Northeastern Sea
Masked Ship
Southwestern Sea
Northwestern Sea
Southeastern Sea
Northeastern Sea
Ooof! Nice shot, buddy! The big frog spread the word about you! So, want to know what to draw on the Cyclone Slate to fly right here? Here goes! Pay attention!
OK, here's the mark! Draw this to return here! Hey, you'd better write it down somewhere!
Did you get that, buddy? YesNope
Then I'm out of here! If you see my fellow frogs, give 'em my best! Ribbit!
OK, OK. I'll wait for as long as it takes.
Ooof! You got me... Nice shot...but why'd you have to shoot me like that? See you 'round the pond!
.........
That's the mark! Draw that mark to return to this spot! And don't forget to write that down!
