Washed up half-alive on the shores of Outset Island, Link finds himself bound in an unexpected arrangement — working under a cruel old woman and her spoiled granddaughter. When a chance to leave appears, he takes it. Following the opportunity across the Great Sea leads him to King, a bounty hunter with one objective: track down and claim the greatest prize on the ocean, Ganon. The two become partners. Their adventure takes them across the waves in search of pearls, silverware, and eventually the truth about where Link came from and why he washed up on that shore in the first place.
