As the crew searches for new lands, they run into the Ghost Ship, which, when boarded, suddenly turns Tetra to stone, and teleports Link to the World of the Ocean King, where Tetra is imprisoned by Bellum. Their journeys are where The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass picks up. Sometime after, at the end of The Wind Waker, Link and Tetra sail for new lands. After Ganondorf's defeat, Hyrule drowns under the sea forever. Link must eventually reassemble the Triforce of Courage to give him the power to fight Ganondorf. Link travels the Great Sea to rescue his sister and defeat the Helmaroc King his quest intertwining with that of The King of Red Lions, who, after many trials, gives Link the title "Hero of Winds." Using the Wind Waker, a magical conductor's baton, he borrows the power of the gods to aid him in his quest. At the beginning of the game, Link's younger sister Aryll is captured by Helmaroc King, a giant masked bird controlled by the game's primary antagonist Ganondorf, the latter of which is searching for Princess Zelda. In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, set hundreds of years after Ocarina of Time, the gods have flooded Hyrule, creating the Great Sea, encompassing the highest mountaintops of Hyrule. However, Toon Link's art style has been used for other Links in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Toon Link refers to the character from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Toon Link, like most of the " Links", is a different Link to that of Twilight Princess.
