Linebeck is the flamboyant and often cowardly captain of the S.S. Linebeck. While he doesn't directly participate in combat, his ship is your primary mode of transportation across the Great Sea, and he plays a vital role in the story. Linebeck's 'build' is entirely focused on his ship:
- Ship Parts: Collecting and equipping various ship parts (Wood, Iron, Gold, Crystal) directly improves the S.S. Linebeck's defensive capabilities. Stronger ship parts mean you can withstand more damage from sea monsters and enemy ships.
- Salvage Arm: Linebeck operates the Salvage Arm, allowing you to retrieve sunken treasure. This is crucial for acquiring valuable Rupees and rare ship parts.
- Cannon: While sailing, you control the ship's cannon, which is essential for sea combat and destroying obstacles.
To optimize Linebeck's effectiveness, focus on finding and equipping the best possible ship parts. A well-defended ship makes sea travel much safer and more enjoyable. While Linebeck himself is a static character in terms of abilities, his ship's customization options provide a significant strategic element to the game.
