The ocean has always been a thing of wonder, fear, and reverence, a dangerous road leading to strange and distant things. It's difficult to navigate — often impossible unless you can read the stars well — journeying upon it was filled with risks, and straying from known routes could easily get a ship terribly lost. However, skillful or daring travel could lead one to distant lands, unknown places, and great riches. Consequently, there is a long and well-established tradition of romanticizing sea travel, and of stories set upon the sea becoming tales of wonder, danger, and strange mystery. The ocean itself is typically presented as a place of chaos, mystery, and inconstancy, a vast and powerful force hiding its secrets well beyond the sight of sailors skimming along its surface. Travelers upon the sea are at the whim of tides, currents and winds largely out of their control, which may be equated with the actions of spirits, gods, or fate, and at any moment storms may boil into existence, monsters rise out of the deep or a pirate ship appear over the horizon. At the same time, fortune may easily smile on a skilled or lucky traveler; much as the unknown depths of the sea may hide terrors, they may also hold incredible things — sunken ships, lost treasure, natural wonders or potential allies may all be found among the waves. This sense of gambling with fate, of heading out into an alien realm without knowing what will be behind the next wave, is often a major part of this sort of story. The other major element of the Ocean of Adventure is its islands. Isolated islands and distant shores tend to act as their own microcosms, each home to some new group, individual, creatures, or phenomenon unbeholden to what's found on the mainland or on other islands. This allows stories to move between radically different settings and circumstances as the characters move from island to island, with each one holding some new trial, peril, or wonder. As a result, the Wacky Wayside Tribe is an extremely common plot element in stories set in these oceans. Characters may have many different reasons to set out across these seas, but desire for adventure, lust for wealth and treasure or simply being blown horribly off-course are all fairly common. Regardless of cause, however, journeys across the Ocean of Adventure will be neither short nor easy. Sailors and explorers typically find themselves battling with a plethora of storms, foes, and misfortunes, wandering from island to island and losing their ships, their crews, and their belongings, often only limping back to port on rafts or other improvised craft after many months or even years away from home. Most of these adventures take place on the ocean's surface, but it's not uncommon for them to be set deep beneath the waves as well, taking a much more personal look at the mysteries and terrors of the depths. Of note is the fact that most of these elements translate fairly seamlessly into space-age settings, especially ones of the softer side of science fiction — Space Is an Ocean for a very good reason, and the depths of space, mysterious phenomena, and alien planets easily play the roles of the sea, storms, and islands of the Ocean of Adventure. Similarly, when The Sky Is an Ocean, it also tends to be depicted in this manner, with flying ships and floating islands replacing the usual kinds. The Island of Mystery will often be found here in great numbers. Sea Monsters and Turtle Islands are often a common part of the marine fauna. Characters found sailing these seas are likely to be Bold Explorers, Born Under the Sail or Pirates of various moral stripes, and to sail Cool Boats. Ports here are likely to be Adventure Towns. Maps of these oceans tend to be complex affairs, filled with signs marking hidden treasure and writhing monsters to warn of danger — but don't be surprised if entire islands or ports fail to show up on any chart. And let's not even get started on the deep seas... Compare Wooden Ships and Iron Men, Tropical Island Adventure, The Sky Is an Ocean, Awesome Underwater World, and Ocean Punk. This is often the state of the seas in an Adventure-Friendly World. |

Finding Nemo: Marlin is forced to undertake a perilous journey away from the Great Barrier Reef to find and rescue his son Nemo, who is abducted by human divers. His journey takes him and his friend Dory from the reef to an Alcoholics Anonymous-esque support meeting for sharks, down to the inky darkness of the deep ocean where they run into a nightmarish anglerfish, through a jellyfish forest and the East Australian Current, to talking to a whale. | |

Wonder Woman Vol 1: During the Golden Age Diana and the Holliday Girls couldn't get so close to the ocean as a beach without running into Atlantean royalty, invading aliens using submarines, Nazi naval saboteurs, modern gangster pirates, fighting merfolk factions, pirate ghosts or a stateless civilization living on a flotilla of long lost ships. The Holliday Girls also once rescued a princess floating in a glass bottle while at the beach before freeing her hidden kingdom from tyranny. | |

Waterworld takes place almost entirely upon the ocean, as rising sea levels have caused the Earth to be covered in water, to the point that dry land is believed to be a myth by many. The plot concerns the protagonists traveling across the global oceans while searching for the last dry land, moving between surviving floating settlements, exploring underwater ruins, and evading pursuit by a fleet of pirates. | |

The Odyssey is in many ways the Trope Maker and Trope Codifier. The middle third of the story follows the long travels of Odysseus and his dwindling crew after they're swept far from known waters and into the vastness of the ocean, after which come long years of wandering between distant lands and islands home to cannibal giants, a powerful witch, the god of the winds and stranger entities, until Odysseus is eventually able, after ten years of travels, to limp his way back to his home at the edge of the civilized world. (Ithaca is in the Ionian Islands, the westernmost outpost of Bronze Age Greek civilization, and in the Bronze Age the Greeks were the westernmost urban civilization in the Old World.) | |

Sea of Thieves is built upon this trope. The titular Sea of Thieves is a mystery-shrouded island archipelago in the Caribbean Sea, full of ruins left by a precursor civilization, tropical islands, skeletons, ghosts, sea monsters, a wannabe pirate dictator, and more gold than you can shake a fist at. Anyone who enters can't leave because of the Shroud, so entering is basically signing up for a life of non-stop adventure. | |

Ecco the Dolphin: The game and its sequels cast the player as a non-anthropomorphic dolphin tasked with defending the oceans from aliens that steal all the animal life.

Even if you avoid the worst of the dockside trouble, however, the Zee is a fickle mistress, and your voyages can easily be brought to an untimely end by sea monsters, starvation, or fear-induced madness. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is set in the Great Sea, what remains of Hyrule after a global flood turned it into a vast ocean dotted with islands that once were mountaintops, and which in the game's present have become home to a number of insular communities ranging from Hylian towns to the villages of nonhuman races to forbidding fortresses of monstrous pirates. The game follows Link as he sails from island to island, plumbs the seas for treasure, fights off sea monsters and hostile warships, and uncovers the ancient legacy of Hyrule locked deep beneath the waves. Its sequel, Phantom Hourglass, takes largely the same approach, but is set in a distinct Pocket Dimension that naturally takes the form of a sea dotted with reefs and islands home to peculiar natives and ancient ruins. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The franchise relies heavily on Nautical Folklore, thus a lot of the real-world seven seas (and the oceans surrounding them) are full of supernatural humdrum encountered by the protagonists, including gods, Psychopomps, sea-monsters, mermaids, cursed Aztec gold, the Fountain of Youth, the Flying Dutchman, the original Prongs of Poseidon and too many cursed pirate crews (and pirate-hunters) to count. | |

Minecraft: The Update Aquatic greatly expanded upon oceans; in earlier versions oceans were large, empty bodies of water with nothing but gravel and squids, and later the occasional ocean monument where players must battle Guardians to reach a treasure room. Oceans now include a variety of biomes such as coral reefs and icebergs, and in addition to ocean monuments there are sunken ships, underwater ruins, and underwater caves and ravines to explore and find treasure (or maps to treasure). There are also new mobs like dolphins (who can assist the player in locating buried treasure) and the Drowned (essentially underwater zombies). There are also some items that can only be found in oceans, all of which encourages ocean exploration. | |

The Pirates of Dark Water follows the adventures of Ren, the prince of the fallen kingdom Octopon, and his quest to restore his kingdom by finding the Thirteen Treasures of Rule, traveling the seas of the world of Mer to track them down, dealing with the pirate Bloth, who constantly hounds him, and the mysterious dark water, a substance that consumes whatever it touches and seems to have some sort of intelligence. | |

Atlantis: The Lost Empire revolves around a team of explorers trying to find and prove the existence of the sunken city of Atlantis; they begin by traveling to the bottom of the ocean in a submarine, traversing a graveyard of ships and being pursued by a Leviathan that guards the entrance to Atlantis (which can be reached via a long series of underground tunnels and caverns accessible only underwater). | |

Dr. Franklin's Island: Semi spends the first part of the book fearful of the ocean her plane crashed into, thanks in no small part to the bodies washing up on shore and her one memorable sight of a Threatening Shark. She's then turned into a creature resembling a manta ray and eventually has to swim in the ocean before she can escape — and as a fish finds the experience nothing short of magical, like swimming through music. It's the happiest she is in her entire time on (or near) the island. | |

Fighting Fantasy: Several books have an ocean setting: Bloodbones has you playing as a sailor who is traveling over the twelve seas of the old world in order to stop the dreaded pirate lord, Bloodbones. During your adventure, you're required to travel to distant islands, explore treasure caves, and encounter underwater enemies such as sharks and krakens, culminating with a climax where you lead a skeleton army to defeat the evil Bloodbones. Demons of the Deep is set entirely underwater. Right at the start of your adventure, you're cast into the sea after your ship's destruction, only to land in a magic circle in Atlantis which allows you to walk and breathe underwater, and from there on attempt to seek revenge on the pirates responsible for your predicament. Seas of Blood has you assuming the role of the Captain of the Banshee, a pirate ship, as you lead it on adventures across the seas of Southern Allansia. During the adventure, you're able to visit underwater caverns and distant lands and partake in large-scale ship-to-ship battles. The Riddling Reaver has the second act, a maritime journey where the player(s) board an enchanted ship called the Twice Shy to the Islands of Southern Allansia. However, the ship itself is filled with enemies, and along the way, the player(s) will encounter giant squids, sharks, maelstroms, and a hostile Sea Giant. Stormslayer have you travelling through the Eelsea and drinking a potion that transforms you into a Fish Man, in order to find the Sunken Temple of Hydana, which takes up a large segment of the book's adventure. Be wary of tentacled monsters, giant crabs, and hammerhead sharks... |
