Wind Waker: A horn powder box.

A horn powder box

Triforce Shard 6: In the calamity that flooded the old world and created the Great Sea, the Triforce of Courage was broken into eight shards. This is one of the eight shards that must be reunited to craft the Triforce of Courage. Link can find these shards spread all over the Great Sea. The talking fish can often help him find the shards, though the rumors they repeat are so old that they send you looking for triumph forks instead of the Triforce.

The pirate priest of the south seas left a life of monastic peace to raid the foreign merchant navy invading their home. As their new profession ensures they are no longer welcome in their old temple, this simple calf horn box is their only remaining connection to that pet of their life. That strong emotional attachment made the horn ideally suited to become a nereid key for locking a goddess away.

The seventh piece of eight belongs to Sumbhajee Angria, Terror of the Arabian Sea.

A pair of reading glasses worn on a fishing line and hung from a hook. The glasses belonged to the former pirate and deceased husband of the current pirate lord of the great ocean. It is in her hall the nereid keys were crafted and the wild goddess of the seas was sealed away.

When the pirate council created the nereid keys, each pirate lord chose a meaningful item to become one of the nine keys. The gambling captain chose the sole remaining card from the deck that won them their first ship. That ship would eventually become the flagship of a fearsome pirate fleet, and that key locked away a great goddess of the seas.

----------

The fifth piece of eight is a single card Chevalle the gambler used to win his first ship and launch his career as a pirate.

Be excellent to everyone.

Wind Waker: A rough-looking wooden eye.

Triforce Shard 3: In the calamity that flooded the old world and created the Great Sea, the Triforce of Courage was broken into eight shards. This is one of the eight shards that must be reunited to craft the Triforce of Courage. Link can find these shards spread all over the Great Sea. The talking fish can often help him find the shards, though the rumors they repeat are so old that they send you looking for triumph forks instead of the Triforce.

This wooden eye was carved by a traitor captain and then given to his close friend before being executed. The traitor did not tell his friend that the eye was one of the nereid keys, only that it served as a token of office as captain. The eye is now held by a loyal buffoon who serves his thrice-dead captain devoutly.

The fourth piece of eight belonged to Captain Barbossa, but was looked after by the unfortunate Ragetti.

Be excellent to everyone.
