Linebeck came equipped with this average anchor.|N/A|PH}}</ref> Linebeck travels the world seeking treasure, which seems to be his driving force in everything he does, including accompanying Link.<ref name= "Treasure">{{Cite|So you're trying to get your mitts on the treasure! ... If that's what this is about, I'm on board!|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> Link meets Linebeck in the [[Temple of the Ocean King]] on [[Mercay Island]] early in his journey. He is told about Linebeck by [[Oshus]], an old man living on the island, who tells him to go to the port to see him.<ref>{{Cite|There is a port to the east of here. A sailor by the name of Linebeck should be there. He'll be willing to tell you more about the Ghost Ship.|Oshus|PH}}</ref> While the S.S.

The captain usually drops anchor at the milk bar, but I haven't seen him in days.

Linebeck is then found on the first floor of the temple, trapped by spikes, and he asks Link to help him, saying that he hurt his ankle and could not do it himself.<ref>{{Cite|I know you're a kid and all, but try to listen up! I'm trapped in here, and I don't know what to do... Normally, I'd free myself without any problem, but... I sprained my ankle and I can't move.

−
: If the game is beaten with 18 Video Game Hero Coins (in the form of DK Coins) or less, third place in Cranky's Video Game Heroes will be held by [[Link]], behind [[smw:Yoshi|Yoshi]] and {{smw|Mario}}. Link's appearance is based on the design used for official art in {{ALttP}} and {{LA}}, albeit with darker hair, possibly due to palette limitations. He appears unequipped, and looks around the room before crossing his arms. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Link takes the second place instead of {{smw|Yoshi}} (at the time of the original game, ''{{Smw|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island}}'' had just been released). As the game used pre-rendered sprites, this marks the first time Link had been rendered in three dimensions for a game.

His grave later appears in {{ST}} in the re-established kingdom of [[New Hyrule|Hyrule]], revealing that he also came to the new land and made a family there. His grandson, [[Linebeck III]], appears in the game as the spitting image of his grandfather.

  +
People on the islands Link visits seem to have a respect or admiration for Linebeck, calling him brave and wishing to travel the seas like him.<ref>{{Cite|But rumors that the Ghost Ship has returned have all but shut down our harbor! Except for one brave soul who recently docked his ship, that is.|Mercay Island Resident|PH}}</ref> However, Link and Ciela see a different side of him, different from the persona he puts up as a brave adventurer. Instead, Linebeck shows himself to be for the most part a coward, running away from trouble and staying with his boat instead of going into the dungeons with Link.<ref>{{Cite|What are you doing? Hurry up! We'd be done already if I was the one out there! But someone needs to stay here and look after the ship. A shame, really!|Linebeck|PH}}</ref>
   
  +
Ciela and Linebeck also constantly fight throughout the course of the game. The two rarely call each other by their real names, instead using insulting nicknames, and are almost cruel to each other at points. However, by the end of the game, they have reluctantly gained respect for each other.

Because he travels with Linebeck, Link meets [[Jolene]], a pirate girl who travels the seas to get revenge on him. When she spots the S. S. Linebeck, she immediately attacks and ambushes it, fighting Link while Linebeck hides in a crate to watch.<ref>{{Cite|Phew! Say what you will about that girl, she KNOWS how to imitate a pirate! "Linebeck, Professional Crate Inspector!" Kind of catchy, don't you think? Here's a tip for giving that crazy girl the heave-ho for me, Link!|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> Eventually, Linebeck tells Link how he met Jolene. At one point in the past, he had accidentally saved her from a monster that he was trying to escape. Because of this he and Jolene became friends and sailed together for a while, until Linebeck stole some of her treasure and ran away, which caused Jolene to seek revenge.<ref>{{Cite|Well, if I'm being totally honest here, I was just trying to get away, see. I sort of lost control of my ship, and it just happened to strike the beast... So after that, Jolene and I traveled together for a time, but... Pretty soon, I realized that the two of us were from different worlds. Yeah... It's kind of embarrassing, but she was a LOT tougher than I. Plus, I just wasn't cut out for the rough-and-tumble life of a pirate! Yeah, I always preferred the laid-back style of just sneaking off with treasure. Anyway, Jolene and I started seeing less and less of each other... I knew I had to end it, and well...you know... Well... I made off with some of her treasure...|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> After a final match, Jolene tells Link that he has eyes like the man who captivated her and tells Linebeck to take notes, which hints at an emotional attachment she holds for Linebeck.<ref>{{Cite|There is something about your stubborn personality that...draws me. The one who captivated me so long ago had that same look in his eyes.|Jolene|PH}}</ref>

: In several games, starting with ''{{wk|Kirby Super Star}}'', Kirby's {{wk|Sword}} ability makes many reference to [[Link]], most notably with a hat based on Link's cap from {{ALttP}}, the most recent design at the time of release (although with the addition of a bobble at the tip). The Sword Kirby uses was also made into a design resembling the [[Master Sword]]. When using it, Kirby gains many abilities based on those used by Link, such as the [[Sword Beam]] and [[Down Thrust]].

: Throughout the game Mario is guided by a hint giving Pixl named Tippi. She has the appearance of a rainbow colored (but mostly light blue) butterfly, and is obviously a parody of Navi. Also, when Mimi insists that Mario pays for a vase he broke, she will not accept coins, since she prefers to use octagonal gems called Rubees, again a parody of Rupee. There is a Pixl inside a bathroom on the moon named "Fleep" which requests a piece of paper. Mario then must buy a map, which is then used a toilet paper by Fleep (in a similar way to [[???]]), who rewards him by joining his team.

Played predominantly from a top-down perspective and involving Mario moving from room to room in a similar manner to a traditional Zelda dungeon. A puzzle to obtain a Star Coin involves lighting torches using [[smw:Fire Mario|Fire Mario]] which causes the Zelda "puzzle solved" musical cue to play, and the dungeon includes traps that mimic those that appear in Zelda games, such as [[Guruguru Bar]]s, [[Spiked Roller]]s, and [[smw:Spiny|Spinies]] appear as enemies, who also appear in the ''Zelda'' series in the form of [[Spiked Beetle]]s.

=====Weaponry=====
  
−
Like all ''Soulcalibur II'' characters, Link has a total of 11 weapons to choose from. His starting and most-balanced weapon is the [[Master Sword]] and [[Hylian Shield]], and the rest of the weapons must be bought in shops in various cities in the Weapon Master Mode.

| [[File:Master Sword (SCII).png|80px]]<br>'''[[Master Sword]]''' & '''[[Hylian Shield]]'''
  
−
| Free
  
−
| Well-balanced
  
−
| A magic sword and shield that have accompanied Link on many adventures and helped him repeatedly save the land of Hyrule. This journey is no less dire, and Link once again goes into battle equipped with these items, this time in another world. These are well-balanced arms for Link.

| 600 Gold
  
−
| Attack goes up 25%<br>Short reach<br>Takes 15% block damage
  
−
| A sword forged by the [[Zubora and Gabora|blacksmith]] from the [[Mountain Village]] on [[Snowhead]]. The blacksmith is famous for his perfectionism—this sword is yet another excellent example of of his craftsmanship and boasts an amazingly sharp cutting edge. Unfortunately, the metal used to forge this blade is prone to chipping, so there remains some concern about its defensive capabilities.

−
| A sword and shield from one of the living Armos statues that dot the land of Hyrule. The origins of these items are shrouded in mystery, much like the Armos themselves. Concentrating one's will increases the weapons' power, but they are a bit too heavy for Link and he cannot use them effectively for guarding.

−
| An extremely heavy hammer. Learning to use it effectively could take some time, as its reach is somewhat short for a weapon. Its power and toughness, however, far exceed that of any normal sword. It's guaranteed to inspire awe.

−
| An ancient magic staff that grants protection to heroes. It can be used even by those who are not sorcerers as long as their hearts are pure. It is said that praying to the staff with all one's heart will shroud the user in light and fill him with vitality. Because it is not a true weapon, it usually does not fare well when it clashes against an opponent's weapon.

−
| A mirror-like shield found in the [[Spirit Temple]]. It is an amazing work of art, and there are few who would argue that it is not one of the finest shields in Hyrule. It is said that its surface reflects not only light but hostile intent as well.

−
| Causes 40% block damage<br>Weak against physical impact
  
−
| Ancient arms hidden deep in an underground tomb. This powerful sword holds an enchantment that counters the forces of darkness, and its holy aura allows it to deliver damage to the enemy even without making physical contact. The shield is enchanted with a spell that protects its user from enemy magic, but the actual shield itself is quite old and is weak against physical impact.

−
| Long reach<br>Drains 3 HP per attack
  
−
| A masterfully crafted long sword forged by the best blacksmith in [[Hyrule]], [[Biggoron]], who lives on [[Death Mountain]]. Designed specifically for Link, it is made to be wielded with one hand. Even so, swinging it with full force gets tiring after a while.

−
| An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shifter—which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. It consumes the souls of those who fall before the blade, and also the soul of its wielder.

−
| A sword blessed by the [[Great Fairy]], rumored to be able to reflect any and all dark magic. Merely holding it fills the wielder with strength, but unfortunately, its protective power did not survive intact in this world, and it is no longer able to resist enemy attacks.

−
| A long-handled net used for catching bugs. This item is an old companion of Link's and has appeared on many of his adventures—it accompanies him on this adventure as well. Obviously, it is not a weapon, but perhaps it will cause opponents to let down their guard.

Template:Character Linebeck, or Linebeck Senior as he is refered to in Spirit Tracks,[1] is a character in Phantom Hourglass.

Biography

Linebeck is the captain of the S.S. Linebeck steamboat, which Link uses to travel the Great Sea for the full course of the game.[2] Linebeck travels the world seeking treasure, which seems to be his driving force in everything he does, including accompanying Link.[3] Link meets Linebeck in the Temple of the Ocean King on Mercay Island early in his journey. He is told about Linebeck by Oshus, an old man living on the island, who tells him to go to the port to see him.[4] While the S.S. Linebeck is docked there, its captain has been gone, presumably to the nearby Milk Bar.[5] However, upon entering it, Link discovers that Linebeck had left to the temple for treasure.[6]

Linebeck is then found on the first floor of the temple, trapped by spikes, and he asks Link to help him, saying that he hurt his ankle and could not do it himself.[7] After being rescued, he runs off, telling Link to find the chart he was looking for inside.

Eventually, Link and Linebeck agree to work together, sailing onwards to the Ghost Ship, Link to rescue Tetra, and Linebeck to investigate the rumors of treasure on it.[3] After it is revealed that the treasure of the Ghost Ship never existed, Linebeck decides to no longer allow Link to use his ship.[8] However, Oshus, later revealed to be the Ocean King, promises to grant him one wish if he continues to help Link.[9] Linebeck has an immediate change of heart when faced with the fact that he could have any treasure in the world, and quickly moves out to continue the journey.[10]

PH Linebeck02

Linebeck introducing himself

Near the end of the game, Linebeck and Link board the Ghost Ship after attacking it, though the S. S. Linebeck becomes sunken in the fight. Suddenly, Link is captured by Bellum, the monster who controlled the Ghost Ship and was behind the petrification of Tetra. A terrified Linebeck uses the Phantom Sword dropped by Link to stab the weakened Bellum in one of his tentacles, freeing Link. However, he manages to attack Linebeck and possess him,[11] turning him into a monstrous knight akin to a Phantom, and forces Link to fight him. Link eventually triumphs, defeating Bellum without injuring Linebeck, freeing him. Linebeck seems disgusted with himself for attacking Link, even though he had the excuse of being possessed.[12] However, Link and Ciela forgive him.[13]

During the end of the game, Oshus in his true form as the Ocean King, asks Linebeck to tell him what his promised wish was.[14] Instead of treasure as the others were expecting, Linebeck's only wish is to have his previously sunken boat fixed.[15] This shocks the others, but his wish is granted, and the S. S. Linebeck is restored.[16] The final scene of the game is shows Linebeck's boat sailing away and tooting its horn.

His grave later appears in Spirit Tracks in the re-established kingdom of Hyrule, revealing that he also came to the new land and made a family there. His grandson, Linebeck III, appears in the game as the spitting image of his grandfather.

Personality

People on the islands Link visits seem to have a respect or admiration for Linebeck, calling him brave and wishing to travel the seas like him.[17] However, Link and Ciela see a different side of him, different from the persona he puts up as a brave adventurer. Instead, Linebeck shows himself to be for the most part a coward, running away from trouble and staying with his boat instead of going into the dungeons with Link.[18]

Ciela and Linebeck also constantly fight throughout the course of the game. The two rarely call each other by their real names, instead using insulting nicknames, and are almost cruel to each other at points. However, by the end of the game, they have reluctantly gained respect for each other.

Relationship with Jolene

Because he travels with Linebeck, Link meets Jolene, a pirate girl who travels the seas to get revenge on him. When she spots the S. S. Linebeck, she immediately attacks and ambushes it, fighting Link while Linebeck hides in a crate to watch.[19] Eventually, Linebeck tells Link how he met Jolene. At one point in the past, he had accidentally saved her from a monster that he was trying to escape. Because of this he and Jolene became friends and sailed together for a while, until Linebeck stole some of her treasure and ran away, which caused Jolene to seek revenge.[20] After a final match, Jolene tells Link that he has eyes like the man who captivated her and tells Linebeck to take notes, which hints at an emotional attachment she holds for Linebeck.[21]

Trivia

  • The official Phantom Hourglass game guide refers to Linebeck's possessed form as "Bellumbeck."[22] That name is also present in the game's code, implying that developers forgot to insert the boss's name when the battle starts.[23]
  • In the Phantom Hourglass manga, it is said that the treasure Linebeck stole from Jolene was squid jerky.[24][25]

So after that, Jolene and I traveled together for a time, but... Pretty soon, I realized that the two of us were from different worlds. Yeah... It's kind of embarrassing, but she was a LOT tougher than I. Plus, I just wasn't cut out for the rough-and-tumble life of a pirate! Yeah, I always preferred the laid-back style of just sneaking off with treasure. Anyway, Jolene and I started seeing less and less of each other... I knew I had to end it, and well...you know... Well... I made off with some of her treasure..." — Linebeck (Phantom Hourglass)
