So I am playing Zelda last night and I need to get into the pirate’s ship. There’s a riddle, ‘I can be filled with water or sail upon the sea, what am I” (I’m paraphrasing.).
Sheesh is that easy I think, Vessel!
Bzzt, no joy, the pirates won’t let me in. So I wander around randomly smiting weeds with my sword, thinking. Wait, a pirate ship, seas, shipwrecked, message in a bottle!.
Bzzt, no joy. More weed whacking with sword ensues, but nothing else occurs to me. I start to conclude the game designers are cheating. Later I figure out through a cut scene that the password is schooner and am like schooner? schooner??? WTF does schooner have to do with being filled with water? A sunken boat? That’s a stretch. I end up figuring it is a bad translation or something. Except that later I check it on dict.org and discover that my vocabulary is not as good as I think it is. Go check for yourself if you want the definition. It wasn’t a bad translation though I will say that.

The link? It works fine for me, not sure why it’s causing you a problem. Or do you mean the solution to the puzzle in the game? It might be that you need to get to the right place to learn the solution in-game before the pirate accepts the answer. It is the correct one though I promise you 😉 [hint to follow]
Examine the bomb shop from all angles. ALL angles. Should be some way to clamber around on there, shouldn’t there?

Thank you. Schooner works. I guess the answer was flashing at certain places but our littlest kid didn’t bother to read it. Our other son had a different riddle at that point in the game so he was no help.

that is the password but you have to go to the bomb shop and listen to the pirates talking first or the password will NOT!!! work.
