Uses and Locations
The Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda, the Raft can be found in the Manji labyrinth. It is used to cross bodies of water such as rivers and lakes, although it can only be launched from docks.
The Adventure of Link
In The Adventure of Link, the Raft can be found in the Island Palace. It is also used to cross bodies of water such as rivers and lakes, although it can only be launched from docks.[1]
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, Link can ride a Raft during the Rapids Ride mini-game.
Oracle of Ages
In Oracle of Ages, if Link gives Rafton the Cheval Rope, he will give Link a Raft that can be used to cross deep water. After Link is washed ashore on Crescent Island, the Raft is destroyed.
The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, Rafts are found floating around the Great Sea with large masts that have skulls on top. Some Rafts are protected by Bokoblins, which may have pots, barrels, and Treasure Chests. Rafts can also be found around islands where Traveling Merchants are found.
Non-Canon Appearances
Link: The Faces of Evil
In The Faces of Evil, Rafts appear in several water-based stages, including Spearfish Falls, Firestone Lake, and in the tar pits of Ganon's Lair. They are used to safely cross these waters, and will immediately move once Link stands on one.
Zelda's Adventure
In Zelda's Adventure, Rafts appear as both an usable item and object. The Raft item can be found next to a pond in the Meadow of Skotness near Great Wimbich, and is used to cross the flooded passage in the Shrine of Water. Another Raft also appears in Port Town of Seacoast Plain, belonging to a seafarer. He will allow Zelda to take the Raft to Sea Island, provided if she pays him two Rupees and has the Vial of Winds, as the offshore wind has died down.[2] The same Raft can be used to return to Port Town from Sea Island.
Trivia
- In Hyrule Warriors, an 8-Bit Raft from The Legend of Zelda appears as part of the 8-Bit Power Bracelet weapon for Link.
