Rafton as he appears in-game

After the completion of the Wing Dungeon, Link must travel to Crescent Island forto obtain the next Essence of Nature. The only way to travel there in the past is with a raft, so Link talks to Rafton. He tells him that in order to cross the Crescent Strait safely, the raft he travels with must be bound together with a rope that will not decay in water. He tells Link that the inventor Cheval is working on it, but will not be finished in the near future.

Link gets the rope and Zora's Flippers from Cheval's grave in the present age, and gives the rope to Rafton. He then tells Link that he needs a sea chart in order to navigate the sea. Link obtains a chart from Tingle, and Rafton sends him on his way.

Later on in the game, Rafton plays a role in the trading quest for the Noble Sword. Link gives him the Magic Oar in return for the Sea Ukulele.
