[edit] Remote Control
What's with this "remote control" buisness with the King of Hyrule and the ship? I always thought he transformed into the ship. -- Random Contributor
- Because you're never shown how it is that he used the ship, it's open to interpretation. It could be that he transformed into it, or it could be he controlled it from afar via magic.
- Therefore it needs to be reworded, but I'm not sure what wording would suffice. Master Thief GarrettTalk 30 June 2005 02:50 (UTC)
I assume he controls it, as he talks through the stone in Hyrule Castle, but Link and Tetra are still in the boat.
The King's presence in the boat is more of a spiritual possession than a "remote control." Recall the aforementioned point in the game where Link and Tetra are in the boat in Hyrule Castle. The boat now appears lifeless, or rather soulless, but the King still talks through the stone. Speaking via the stone could very well be called "remote." However, when they meet the King in his human appeareance in the chamber, he is still not physically there — after his speech, the vision of his body begins teleporting out of the chamber, proving that he is not in a tangible body.
By the time period of The Wind Waker, this King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule would have aged too much to keep his physical body, even if he was a very young man when Hyrule was flooded. Ganondorf's corporeal reappearance centuries later is an exception, as the seal placed on him in Ocarina of Time supposedly worked around time to a degree. It seems most likely, therefore, that when Hyrule was flooded, the King's soul or being or whatever was placed inside the boat, or maybe even something else first. But how could the King be alive in a physical body controlling the boat from afar? That seems unlikely.

It definitely is more of a possession than it is remote control. If he controlled the boat remotely, then he would have been able to guard Princess Zelda down in Hyrule Castle. But, after the exchange of words in the Master Sword's chamber, he simply tells her to stay there and hide, and he leaves, thus nullifying the fact that he's controlling the boat remotely.

[edit] Links
I'm just going around mixing all the Majora's Mask links and I noticed that the links in this article are really bad for redirects - if anyone has time, could they fix that please? Shamess 20:22, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
