Biography

|---|---|
 Salvage Corp | Birthplace: Angular Isles Talent: Searching for sunken treasure These young men found friendship through their common interest in searching for sunken treasure. Soon afterward, they formed the Salvage Corp. With their first haul of treasure, all they could afford to buy was their diving suits. Now they dream of finding that one huge haul that makes them all rich. They are currently searching for the legendary treasure sunken beneath the sea. |
The Salvage Corp can be found trying to salvage Treasure around Pawprint Isle, Eastern Triangle Island, and Western Fairy Island.
When Link first encounters the Corp, they will happily tell him how to use the Grappling Hook like a Salvage Arm to raise up treasure from the ocean floor.[3][4] If spoken to near Pawprint Isle,[verification needed] they will also give Link the Treasure Chart 34. If Link asks them how to use the Grappling Hook again, they will begrudgingly tell him again before shooing him away.[5][6]
After the Tower of the Gods rises up from the Sea, the Salvage Corp will give up hunting for minor treasure. They give Link all of Rupees that they have found, and focus on finding the Triumph Forks instead.[citation needed]

If you compare the Island Charts on the right with the Treasure Charts on the left, it should be easy to figure out! The secret to hauling up treasure is to go to the spot marked on the map and then use your Grappling Hook while in your boat. Then it just takes patience, bub! A lot of first-time treasure hunters give up pretty quickly because they don't get how it works, but they're missing out! It's really not that hard!" — Salvage Corp. (The Wind Waker HD)
