Walkthrough:The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass/VicGeorge2K9/Part 1

This part will get you through the start of your quest.

Introduction
The story starts with Niko the pirate giving us (and Link) a brief slideshow recap of the events that took place in The Wind Waker, to which Link sleeps through. Tetra calls Link to attention to be on the lookout for the mysterious Ghost Ship, which she believes is actually a bunch of pirates terrorizing the seas and that may be loaded with treasure. Soon the Ghost Ship does appear, and Tetra leaps aboard, only to scream as she is taken captive. Link leaps toward the Ghost Ship and tries to pull himself aboard to rescue Tetra, but ends up falling into the water as it disappears into the mist.

Link wakes up to a voice calling him. It sounds like Navi from Ocarina of Time, but is in fact Ciela, a fairy who found the young boy washed ashore. She finds out from Link what had happened and tells him what she knows about the Ghost Ship -- only that those who are captured by the ship are never found again. She leads Link to follow her to her "grandpa's" house, where he might know more about the Ghost Ship that took Tetra.
