Walkthrough:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker/Portal-Kombat/Part II

You Are a Pirate!
As soon as the island's out of sight, Tetra gives you orders to go down into the ship's hull to see a pirate named Niko. You can talk to the various pirates around here, but there isn't much to do. One thing is for certain- you're heading towards the north seas. It will be a while until you reach the destination, so open the door to go inside the Pirate Ship. There's a pathway here guarded by Nudge, one of the pirates. He won't let you through, so don't bother trying. You can talk to him for some interesting information, though. Go down the stairs. To the left and right at the bottom of the stairs, you'll see jars on shelves. To obtain their contents, roll into the walls with (A), tipping the shelves and shattering the jars. Proceed straight ahead into the next room. Here, Niko will give you a challenge that all new swabbies have to complete. Here's the breakdown: there are a couple of switches next to you. By just walking into one of these floor switches, you can do a short hop on top of them, pressing them into the ground. This will raise platforms up to jump across. To shut them off, step onto the opposite switch. The goal is to reach the other side of the room by hopping across the platforms while they're raised. However, there are two catches to this. First, they are timed, so you have to be quick or else the platforms will go back down. Second, some of the gaps are too wide to just hop across. When that happens, jump towards one of the lanterns suspended by ropes overhead. You can swing around on these to jump to the next platform. To hold the rope still, use (R). After the rope is still, you can climb up and down or change your swinging direction as long as you hold (R). After you let go of (R), swing back and forth and press (A) to let go in the direction where you want to jump. It can be a tricky process at first, but you'll have to learn it. Once you get across, Niko will be so surprised, he'll let you into the back room. Open up the treasure chest here to get the  Spoils Bag ! This pouch is similar to the Bait Bag, but it holds 8 types of special treasures. These treasures can be found in treasure chests or in other hidden areas, but are oftentimes held by specific types of enemies. They'll come into play a little later on.
