Triforce Shard #3: Diamond Steppe Island (A6)

In order to get Triforce Shard #3, you must board the dreaded Ghost Ship, but before you can do that, you need to get the Ghost Ship Chart from Diamond Steppe Island.

Once at the island, use your Hookshot on the lowest palm tree to get onto the island. Continue hooking onto the trees until you reach the highest part of the island. On the far edge of this level is a Secret Cave containing the Ghost Ship Chart.

The Ghost Ship Chart

Triforce Shard #3 is on the Ghost Ship, which appears at different islands in different phases of the moon. To find and enter the Ghost Ship, you need the Ghost Ship Chart, which is at Diamond Steppe Island (A6). Use your Hookshot on the lowest palm tree to get up to the island from your boat.

Use your Hookshot along the palm trees until you reach the hole at the narrow end of the highest part of the island. Drop into that hole and you’ll enter what appears to be a ship’s graveyard.

Enter the purple Warp Pot directly in front of you. What follows is a maze of Warp Pots and Floor Masters. Enter the correct Warp Pots to proceed; going into the wrong one spits you back out at the entrance. To make it through the maze in one shot, enter the Warp Pots in this order:

Enter the Warp Pot beyond the Floor Master (the Warp Pot farthest from the one you used to enter the area).

Get the Joy Pendant from the chest next to the Warp Pot you shot out of, drop off the side of the boat through a gap in the railing, and enter the Warp Pot directly below that gap.

Your next Warp Pot is behind and to the left of the Floor Master you face in this area.

This last Warp Pot takes you to a wrecked ship with a Floor Master and a chest. Defeat the Floor Master and open the chest to get the Ghost Ship Chart. Then drop off the side of the ship to return to the beam of light that takes you back outside to Diamond Steppe Island.

Understanding the Ghost Ship Chart

The Ghost Ship appears at one of seven different islands at night, depending on the phase of the moon. After you have the Ghost Ship Chart, the location of the Ghost Ship appears on your Sea Chart at night, along with an icon representing the Ghost Ship.

The Ghost Ship

Open the Ghost Ship Chart, play the “Song of Passing,” and meet the Ghost Ship at one of the seven islands. Sail directly into the Ghost Ship to enter it.

Defeat the two Poes and the Blue Wizzrobe inside the Ghost Ship, and a ladder drops at the end of the room. Climb it to reach an alcove with the chest containing Triforce Shard #3. When you open the chest, you automatically leave the Ghost Ship, which never again reappears.
