1. INTRODUCTION
******************************************************************************
Hello and Konnichi wa, etc!  Welcome to my guide for the latest Zelda
masterpiece from those godlike peoples at Nintendo!  That's right!  It's the
Wind Waker, baby!  This is the, what... ninth Zelda game now?  And only the
first one for GameCube, as in there may be more!  Waaaah!
Anyway, in this here game, Link takes to the high seas in search of adventure
and treasure!  Arrrrr!!  So, come on in and pour yourself a mug of grog and
I'll see if I can help ya landlubbers through this game!
******************************************************************************
2. FAQ
******************************************************************************
Q: What exactly is Zelda: The Wind Waker?
A: Why, it's the latest installment of one of the finest gaming series ever
created, of course.  Take control of Link once again as you set out to
fulfill your destiny, and stuff!
Q: How many blocks does this game take up?
A: This game takes up 12 (that's twelve) Memory Card Blocks.
Q: When does it take place in the Zelda timeline?
A: Officially, the word from Nintendo is that it takes place hundreds of years
after Ocarina of Time.  At this point in history, the events of OoT are now
legend.
Q: What's the deal with the graphics?
A: They're cel-shaded.  It actually looks really nice.  Screenshots don't do
it justice.  You have to see it in motion to appreciate it...
Q: LOLOL R U A KID OR SOMETHIN PLAYIN A CARTOON!??1
A: You're the kid if you feel you have to avoid this game to preserve your
masculinity....
Q: So, is this game set up like Ocarina of Time?
A: Actually, they're very similar in play styles.  The A Button is still the
action button, B swings the sword, etc.  If you played the GameCube version of
OoT, you already have a good jump on the controls...
Q: I'm missing one item in my Item Subscreen!  What is it?
A: Most probably the Magic Armor.  Check out how to get it in the Items
section.
******************************************************************************
3. BASICS
******************************************************************************
All right.  In this section, I outline the eponymous "basics".  This is mostly
stuff you can read in the manual, which I know you're not going to read
anyway, because no one ever does anymore...
==============
3A. Controls =
==============
Basic Link Controls -
Control Stick: Moves Link in the desired direction.  Up moves Link away from
the camera.  Down moves him towards it.  Some things can be done automatically
using just the Stick, such as climbing ladders, or leaping over small gaps.
A Button: Primary Action Button (see below)
B Button: Attack with the sword (see below)
X, Y, Z Buttons: Use Items selected from the Item Subscreen.
R Button: Secondary Action Button (see below)
L Button: Used for L-Targeting (see below)
C Stick: Controls the camera.  When you're moving or indisposed, it rotates
the camera around Link or pans it towards or away from him.  If you tap L
first, you can use Up C to switch to a first person view.
Control Pad: Used for maps.  Up brings up your Sea Chart or Dungeon Map on the
screen and Down removes it.  Right brings up your Area Map and changes its
size.  Left puts the Area Map away.
START Button: Go to the Subscreens.
Advanced Link Controls -
Primary Action Button (A): This does maaaaany things.  When moving or
L-Targeting, it can perform evasive maneuvers, like rolls, jumps, or flips.
When standing still, you can talk to people, read stuff, open doors, pick up
objects on the ground, and some other stuff...
Secondary Action Button (R): When standing still, this button makes Link
crouch.  Holding it down and moving will make him crawl, which can allow him
to fit into tight spaces.  When L-Targeting, Link will pull out his Shield
to defend himself.  It's also used for a couple other actions when multiple
actions can be performed with an object.  For example, R will allow you to
grab a nearby block, as opposed to A being used to climb it.
L-Targeting (L): Any object you can L-Target will have a red arrow above it
when you get close.  Holding L (or just pressing it, depending on how you set
up the options) will let you focus on your target.  Using the Control Stick
will move you in relation to the target.  Use this for combat, and you will
find it a lot easier.
Combat: When in combat, you'll mainly use B for attacking.  While not
L-Targeting, your attack will be a standard horizontal slash.  When
L-Targeting, you can direct your sword based on how you hold the Control Stick,
to the side for slashing, and up for thrusting.  Also, while L-Targeting,
press A with the sword out to perform a jumping slash that does double
damage.  Also, like past Zelda games, hold down B and release to perform a
spinning slash.  Finally, there's a special move, called "Parry", which can
be done in certain situations.  While in combat, you may see and hear a
flashing green "A".  Hit A at that point to counter your enemy's attack with
one of your own automatically.
Ropes: A new aspect of Zelda introduced in this game is the art of rope-
swinging.  To grab onto a rope, simply leap out over a gap at it and you'll
grab it.  Pushing Up and Down on the Control Stick will make you swing back
and forth, and pressing A will let go of the rope.  If you want to stop
swinging, hold R.  While holding R, pressing Up and Down will make you climb
the rope in that direction, and pressing Left and Right will rotate you on
the rope.  Also, when you get the Grappling Hook, using it will cause it to
act like any other rope.
====================
3B. Menus/Displays =
====================
Main Menu: Press START on the Title Screen to access the Main Menu.  From
there, pick a Quest Log, then choose to Start, Copy the file to another,
Erase the file,
Main Display:
- Upper Left Corner: Displays your Hearts and Magic Power
- Upper Right Corner: Displays your various buttons and what each one would do
if you pushed them.
- Lower Left Corner: Displays the Area Map if on dry land or the Compass and
Clock if you're sailing.
- Lower Right Corner: Displays the number of Rupees you have.
Subscreens: Pressing START during gameplay will allow you to access these
screens.  Use L or R to flip between them.
- Items: Allows you to view the XYZ items you have.  Press A to see short
descriptions of the items.  Press X, Y, or Z to assign the item to that
particular button.
- Quest Status: This screen shows more or less every other kind of item etc.
you've obtained.  You can't manipulate these items, but you can view
descriptions.  Also on this menu, you can access Options, whereby you can
change your Targeting Style, Rumble, and Sound...
On both subscreens you can save your game.  It's suggested that you do this
as often as possible.
=========================
3C. The Sea and Sailing =
=========================
An integral part of the game is in getting around in your fancy boat, the
King of Red Lions.  After you give it a Sail, the open seas are available to
you.
Boat Controls:
Pressing the A Button while the boat is stopped will make you get in and out
of it.  You have very limited swimming capabilities, so if there's anything
involving water, make sure you use the boat.  With no sail up, hold down R and
you can cruise the boat VERY slowly.  It's good for precise positioning of the
boat, but not much for anything else.
Sail: Set the sail using whatever item button you set it for.  Once it's up,
the wind will become a factor.  A yellow arrow points in the direction that
the wind's blowing.  You get the most speed by going with the wind, naturally.
Going against the wind, you can barely reach cruising speed.  Use the Control
Stick to move the rudder while sailing.  At top speed, you can get about a
kilometer a minute, which is an entire square, straight across, in one minute.
Naturally, if you want to go a different direction at a good speed, it's best
to use the Wind Waker to change the wind's direction.  You can only do this
after you learn the Wind Requiem on Dragon Roost Island.  Press R while
sailing to leap in your boat.  It's really cool...
Crane: Once you obtain the Grappling Hook, you also, technically, have a crane
you can use on the boat.  Equip it to an item button and use it to drop the
crane to the sea depths.  If there's anything to find, you'll go into a
cutscene as it's pulled up.
The Sea: The Great Sea is split up into a 7X7 large grid.  Each square is more
or less its own "area".  The Sea Chart shows each square as "1000 X 1000",
which could more or less be termed a square kilometer.
Islands: Most squares in the game have an island or some sort of, well,
anything to land on.  In the case of major islands, keep a lookout for fish
hopping around near the shore of the island.  Spread some All-Purpose Bait
near these fish and they will offer to draw you a chart of the square you're
currently at.  They'll only include major islands on that chart, but they'll
also give you information on them.
Treasure: If you're near treasure, you'll hear a chorus that gets louder as
you get closer.  Of course, to even hear the chorus, you have to be within
about five meters of the treasure.  It helps to know where it is, of course.
Once you find the treasure and the chorus is at its loudest, use the crane to
pull it up.
Treasure Charts: This is the real way to find treasure.  Once you find these
charts, which are scattered all over the land, bring them up and you'll see a
100 X 100 view of an island or system of islands.  X marks the spot.  It's up
to you, of course, to actually find said island or system of islands, but once
you do, you can use the Treasure Chart to follow yourself to the X.
Tingle: If you have Tingle activated, he can also find and mark treasure for
you.  You'll find that there are a LOT more sunken chests than you have
Charts for.  Fortunately, you'll also find that there's nothing truly good in
those chests that you can't find by chart.
Compass: The compass in the lower left corner of the screen points where north
is.  If it's pointing up, you're heading north.  If it's pointing to the left,
that means north is to your left and you're heading east.
Clock: Time only flows on squares that aren't major islands.  If there's a
half-sun, half-moon, time is flowing.  If there's just a sun or moon, time is
standing still.  Some islands (particularly inhabited ones) are different at
night and day.
Etc.: Barrels, platforms, watchtowers, and buoys are scattered all over the
sea.  Most of these are relatively useless to you, except for maybe some quick
cash.
===================
3D. Miscellaneous =
===================
Rupees -
As always, Rupees are the currency of this Zelda game.  Rupees are worth more
depending on their color:
Green: 1 Rupee
Blue: 5 Rupees
Yellow: 10 Rupees
Red: 20 Rupees
Purple: 50 Rupees
Orange: 100 Rupees
Silver: 200 Rupees
You'll start by only be able to carry 200.  Opportunities may arise for
increasing your wallet size.
Enemy Drops -
When you destroy enemies, they can drop items to replenish you.  Here's
what they can drop.
Rupees: Green, Blue, Yellow, and Red, depending on the enemy.
A Heart: Replenishes one heart
Magic Jars: The small kind will refill your magic gauge by 1/4 and the large
one will refill half your magic.  If your magic is doubled, it'll only be
1/8 and 1/4, respectively.
Bombs: 5 each pickup
Arrows: 10 for a "single", 30 for a "triple"
Vortex Balls: Large enemies can drop these multi-colored swirly balls.  Hit
them with a weapon and they'll explode into a bunch of drops.
Dungeon Items -
Most of the dungeons of this game have a set of items to help you get
around in it.
Dungeon Map: By pressing Up on the Control Pad, you can view a full map of
the dungeon.  Areas you haven't visited yet are black.  Areas you have
visited are green.  The flashing room is your current position.
Compass: When you view your map, you can see the locations of chests and
the boss of the dungeon.  Also, on the main game screen's minimap, you can
see yourself move around and where you entered the room (in case you get
turned around).  Also, if you have a friend helping you in the dungeon,
they'll appear as a purple dot on the map.
Small Key: When you get one of these keys, simply use them on a locked door.
The key will disappear once used.
Big Key: This is found in a pretty blue and gold chest.   With it, you can
enter the final room of the dungeon and face off against its evil master.

4. WALKTHROUGH
******************************************************************************
BIG NOTE: This walkthrough will only cover important and story-specific
stuff.  If you want the side-questy stuff, head to the sections further on
that makes the most sense about what you want.
==============================================================
4A. Outset from Outset (Outset Island and Forsaken Fortress) =
==============================================================
Outset Island -
After enjoying the recap at the opening, you'll find we begin with Link
asleep (seems to be a pattern in Zelda games).  Little sis Aryll wakes him
up and tells him that Grandma is looking for him.
You can explore Outset Island for a bit and talk to various people.  Poke
around in some houses if you wish or in the field, as there are Rupees to be
found.  If you wish, grab three pigs and carry them up to the pen for more
Rupees (to grab them, crawl up to them slowly, then stand up and pick them
up).  Now, to spend some of your new-found Rupees.  Head to the shore.  Note
the weird-looking ship in the water.  Swim inside.  This is Beedle's Shop
Ship.  Something you should really get your hands on in there is a BAIT BAG.
Also, buy a serving of All-Purpose Bait and a Hyoi Pear.
After you're done goofing around, go and talk to Grandma and she'll give you
the outfit all boys your age receive when they come of age.  After you're done
your little chat, head out.  If you haven't already, go to the two floor
house and speak to each of the brothers.  One has several tips for the game
on the walls, and the other will teach you basic sword practice.
Now, go and speak to Aryll and she'll give you the TELESCOPE as your birthday
present.  Use it as she instructs and you'll see a postman dropping letters
off at the postbox.  Then, she'll instruct you to look up, so do so, and
you'll see a real big bird carrying a girl in its claws.  The two are being
pursued by a ship firing cannon shot.  The bird takes a hit and ends up
dropping the girl in the nearby mountain summit.  Being the helpful type you
are, you'll want to go and see what the commotion is about.  Aryll will
mention defense.
Head to Orca the trainer, and he'll teach you all the sword techniques you'll
need for now.  Once that's done, he'll let you keep the HERO SWORD, feeling
you've earned it.  Now, you can fool around chopping grass, small trees, and
bushes, or you head up the mountain path on the left side of the island.
Climb up, chopping down anything in your way, then hop across the gap in the
suspension bridge, and head into the Faerie Forest.
Fairy Forest -
This is rather basic.  Head straight through the brush and circle around the
back.  Note the weird-looking rock sitting in this area.  Anyway, you'll also
want to note the Bokoblin opposite you.  Show him you've been practicing your
sword skills.  Once he's kaput, climb up the stump to the higher ground and
you'll eventually reach the girl, who turns out to be the leader of a group of
pirates.  Her name is Tetra, and she doesn't seem to think much of you.
Anyway, one of her cronies will show up to escort the both of you out.  As you
leave, you'll find Aryll on the opposite side of the bridge waiting for you.
Then, things get pear-shaped.  Aryll gets carted off by that big bird thing.
You and the pirates regroup down by their ship and you'll meet that weird
postman you saw earlier.  He'll explain that several girls with pointed ears
have been kidnapped recently, and that it would behoove you to head to the
Forsaken Fortress to find your sister, and Tetra will begrudgingly agree to
take you on as a swabbie...
You need to say goodbye to Grandma now.  Head up the ladder to find the family
shield is missing.  Head back down and you'll say your farewells to Grandma
and she'll give you the HERO SHIELD.  Now, talk to Tetra to get movin'.
Tetra's Ship -
So, you can converse with the scurvy dogs, but to get ahead, head below decks
and speak with Niko, who's quite relieved to no longer be the bottom of the
pirate food chain.  Niko will present you with a little challenge.  Here's the
basic gist: Step on the switch and some platforms will pop up.  You have to
swing from rope to platform and so on to reach the other side.  Use this time
to get a feel of ropes.  The platforms aren't very big, so make sure you're
facing the proper direction, and press A to let go at the height of your
swing, NOT at the bottom, because if you do, your momentum will carry you over
the platform.
Once you make it to the other side, Niko will let you have the SPOILS BAG.
Nifty.  Now, head back above deck and speak to Tetra, who's in the crow's
nest.  She'll point out Forsaken Fortress, and you'll be just about on your
way there, in a rather unorthodox manner...
Forsaken Fortress -
You'll find yourself smack in the middle of the fortress.  You'll soon find
that Tetra can speak to you through a charm you're now carrying.  This area
isn't a true "dungeon" of sorts, but there is a Map and Compass to find, as
well as a Piece of Heart...
Oh, and you lost your sword.  Smooth...
So, I can't really give a standard "walkthrough" of this area, because it's
quite open-ended.  You can get around in several ways.  I will, however, lay
down some key points.
Here's the lowdown.  You'll notice outside are several searchlights scouting
around.  Avoid those if you don't want to be thrown in a cell.  Those are the
only problems outside, except for the problems of actually getting around and
stuff.
Inside, things are a little more complicated.  There are two basic floors to
this area.  The lower floor has multiple Moblins patrolling.  Unfortunately,
without a sword, you cannot fight these guys at all.  If they see you, they'll
toss you in the cell.  To avoid them, pick up a barrel and you'll drop it over
yourself.  Move slowly behind the patrolling Moblins to get past them.  If
they "notice" a moving barrel, stop moving immediately and they'll soon lose
interest.
Now, in the odd chance you get thrown behind bars, it's not hard to get out,
just a bit time-consuming.  Climb up on the table and hop onto the shelves.
Pick up the pot to reveal a little passage.  Crawl into it (use R to crouch)
and pop out the other side.
Now, there is a Map and a Compass on the upper floor in the two sections in
the southeast.  They're not terribly important, but there they are.
What IS rather important is the PIECE OF HEART.  It's in the southwestern
room on the first floor, which is just below the room with your cell.  If you
get there, you'll have to sneak behind Moblins to get out.  The room has a
cell, which you can open by a nearby switch hidden behind some pots.  You'll
find the PoH in the chest inside.
Now, about those searchlights.  Making your way around the upper floor, you
can find ladders that lead up to the three searchlight stations in three
locations, which are the southernmost outside path, then the ones directly
east and west of them.  Although you have no weapon, you can take out the
operators.  With no sword, you'll need to use their own weapons against them.
Either block their attacks until you knock the weapon out of their hands, or
toss and break the nearby pot.  Either way, press A to grab a Boko Stick
weapon.  Pretty cheap model, really.  Use B to swing and A to toss it.  Knock
out the bad guy to stop the searchlight for good.  The one you really want to
stop you can only access from the west side, because it turns off the
searchlight which looks at the upper ledges.  The others just monitor the
plaza.
Anyway, another key point to remember is on the north side.  You'll find a box
sitting on an upper ledge.  Push it down to the plaza and you have a quick way
up to the upper floor.  Handy.
The big important room is to the west of the aforementioned box.  You'll find
Moblins wandering around on the upper floor here.  Now you know it's
important.  Get in a barrel and sneak over to the far double door.  Open it
up to get on the upper ledges.  Sneak past the Moblin up here and continue
climbing.  You'll eventually reach an area with a largely missing floor.
To get across the broken floor, you have to push yourself up against the wall
and press to sidle along it.  Once you reach the end, keep moving up the wall,
sidling a little more, and you'll finally reach the top, where you'll find
your sword (go you), as well as a peeved Bokoblin.  Teach him the meaning of
pain and you'll be able to enter the room where Aryll is kept captive, along
with several other girls...
Of course, things won't go as planned, thanks, once again, to the big bird.
He'll take you before a large and mysterious-looking man.  This man will point
out to sea, and the bird will give you a nice toss.  As you lie on the open
sea, you'll be picked up by a strange boat...
============================================================
4B. Setting Sail (Windfall Island and Dragon Roost Island) =
============================================================
You'll eventually regain consciousness, and you'll find that it's the boat
itself that saved you.  It calls itself the King of Red Lions, and it offers
its services to you.  Unfortunately, it doesn't have a sail, so you'll need to
find one on the island.
Windfall Island -
This island has quite a few people on it, and several shops, too.  There's a
Bomb Shop near the water, but the prices are rather outrageous.  Go into the
town itself and you'll find several buildings.  There's a potion shop that you
can't buy anything from because you don't have a bottle.  Bummer.  There's a
rather extravagant-looking red door which leads to a fancy house, where some
guy will get very huffy if you bust his vases.  There's also a cafe, where you
can get a bit of info.  There's a school, where the teacher wants you to go
find a group of kids who goof off.  There's also a peddler who has your
awesome sail for sale!  Only 80 Rupees!  If you don't have enough, poke
around for pots hiding in bushes to find more Rupees.  Buy the SAIL.
Now, you could set sail, but there's one more thing to do here (or two).  Go
around the south side of the island.  There's a little path near the beach
leading up to a gravestone.  Sure, you can talk to Tott, who's hanging out
there.  You can also go into a nearby door.  You'll find the jail, and who
would be inside, but good ol' Tingle.  Find the switch to open the door behind
some pots and he'll be so glad he's out that he'll give you the TINGLE TUNER.
Check his section to find out what to do with Tingle.
But wait, there's more!  Pull the box in the back of Tingle's cell.  Enter
the narrow passage.  Ready?  Turn right, left, go straight to the far wall,
right, left, left, right, right, right.  You'll end up in a grotto with the
PICTO BOX in it.  There's a big sidequest involving the Picto Box, so head to
the section in "Sea-Wide Sidequests" for more information.
There's more stuff to do on Windfall, and if you want to learn about it, go
to Windfall Island's section in "The Islands of the Great Sea".
You're all set here for now.  Go back to your boat and you'll set sail for
Dragon Roost Island.  Set up your sail using the item button and just point
yourself in the direction of the island (east), and get movin'!  Wheeee!
On the way, you may find some stopping points, with barrels and such, and some
Bokoblins.  They're not big cash spots, so don't go nuts looking for them.
Once you're about halfway there, veer south towards a island dotted with palm
trees.  You'll notice another boat here.  Talk to the divers, and you'll get
yourself a TREASURE CHART.
Once you sail far enough east, you'll reach the shores of Dragon Roost.
Dragon Roost Island -
Land and the King of Red Lions will give you "THE WIND WAKER", a baton which
gives one the power of the gods, or so they say.  You'll practice with it for
a bit, then you can head inland.  Head through the tunnel near the beach and
you'll see a monument out in the distance.  Swim out to it and you'll see a
stone with writing.  Oooo...  Pull out your Wind Waker in front of the stone
and you'll pull up your first tune.  Once you finish, the Wind God, Zephos,
will have a bit of chat with you.  He'll tell you about his brother Cyclos,
and how the smashed stone was once his.  You now know the Wind Requiem, which
you can use to change the wind's direction.
If you neglected to buy a Bait Bag on Outset, Beedle's Shop Ship is here.
He also shows up in many other places, too...
Note the large number of Bomb Flowers dotting the landscape.  How curious.
Take this opportunity to be a demolitionist and clear out some of those pesky
big rocks by throwing Bomb Flowers at them.  Climb up the hillside and find a
ledge that you can sidle across.  Bust up a rock that has blocks sitting on
top of it so they'll fill the gap and you'll be able to proceed through
another cave after speaking with the postman from before.
Now, you'll find that you've entered the realm of the Rito bird people.  These
folks specialize in flying and delivery.  They even have a post office right
in their cave.  But first, you'll talk to their chieftain, in the middle of
the room, who tells you about two problems: the dragon Valoo becoming very
upset recently, and Prince Komali, who is reluctant to perform his "rite of
passage" and get his wings.  You'll also be given a DELIVERY BAG.
First, head up to the upper floor and enter the first room to speak with Medli,
and she'll give you the FATHER'S LETTER, which will be put in your Delivery
BAG.  Go visit the Prince now.  He's on the first floor in the back.  Give the
Prince the Letter from your bag and he'll explain that he doesn't want to go
to the rite of passage.  Talk to him some more and he'll talk about his ball,
the Din's Pearl.  There's nothing more you can do for him here, so head back to
the main cave.
If you're strapped for Rupees, head up to the second floor and talk to the
guy at the post office desk.  You can sort letters for him for Rupees.  The
first time you do it, if you break 10 letters, you'll get a Rupee for every
two letters.  The second time, if you pass 20 letters, you'll get a Rupee for
every letter.  The third time, if you pass 25 letters, you'll get three Rupees
for every letter.  It's fun, and a good test of your reflexes.
So, now that all the extra stuff is done, head down to the lower floor, and
leave by the passage that the Rito guard is standing next to and you'll end
up in front of Dragon Roost Cavern.  Drop down the hole and talk to Medli and
she'll ask you to toss her up.  Pick her up, climb on the nearby stone, and
wait until the wind is blowing towards the far end.  Toss her then and she'll
give you your first EMPTY BOTTLE.  Fill it with water from the nearby spring,
then climb up the broken bridge and dump the water on the dried-up plants and
they'll grow into Bomb Flowers.  Pluck one and wait until its about to explode
before tossing it on the big rock below (you don't want it fizzing out in the
water).  Once the rock blows up, the pond will fill up again and you can
swim across.  Now, there's a small pool of lava ahead of you.  Pick the nearby
Bomb Flowers and toss them into the green pots on the statues so that they
blow up on them.  Once both statues are knocked into the lava, cross them and
enter your first dungeon.
*** LEVEL 1 *** Dragon Roost Cavern -
Entrance Room: Pull the blue statues out of the way to the next room.  Defeat
the two Bokoblins.  To leave the room, take one of their sticks, light it on
the torch, if it's not already lit, and use it to light the other torches.
You'll earn a Small Key and you can open the door.  That pot with mist in the
room is a Magic Pot which you can use to warp once you find others.
Lava Pit: Toss a rock at the boarded-up door, then head left.  Drop off the
planks to a ledge, and pull a block out.  Climb on it, then continue on the
wood planks.  Head across the suspension bridge and try to ignore the Keeses,
because you're not exactly on stable ground.  Toss a Bomb Flower at the rock
to head to the next room.
Watering Hole: To cross the little pit here, toss a water jar into the lava
to harden it.  Hop over to the left side to get the DUNGEON MAP.  After that,
you can cross over to the far end.  Climb up the ladder and watch out for the
Red ChuChu.  Defeat him and proceed up to the next room.
Boarded Room: Head over to the far wall and defeat the Bokoblin.  Use his
sword to start hacking down the boarded walls.  Behind the second wall,
you'll find a Small Key.  Watch out for Red ChuChus.  Exit by the other door.
Lava Pit: Toss a pot at the Bomb Flowers on the wall to blow the rock, then
cross over to the locked door.
West Room 1F: Head towards the boards on the left to fight a Bokoblin.  Defeat
him, and use his stick to light the other boards on fire.  Step on the
switch and head through the door.
Western Cliff: Cross the suspension bridge and quickly deal with the Bokoblin
so the bridge doesn't get cut.  Climb the ladder and take out the Kargaroc to
get a Golden Feather.  Now, carefully sidle past the gap, avoiding the fire
jet.  Next, hang onto the wooden ledge and edge across it.  Climb up the
rocks and toss the Bomb Flower up here on the big rock to open the way to the
next room.
Stacked Block Room: Pull on the middle block so that the stack drops, then
pull it left.  Then, pull on the middle block again so that the stack drops
once more.  Climb up on the stacks to the doorway.  Watch out for Rats.
You'll get a call from the pirates, so answer it.  Pull out the block and
hop up to the treasure chest to get the COMPASS.  Break the nearby pot with
sticks in it.  Grab one, light it on the torch, and throw it at the far
boards to burn them.  Get the Small Key in the chest.  Unlock the door and
leave.
Northern Cliff: Climb the stairs.  Take out the Karbaroo and take the Small
Key in its nest.  Unlock the door.
Dark Room: First, take out the Keeses a ways into the room.  Then, smash one
of the pots with sticks.  Light the stick, then start lighting torches and
burning down boards.  Once you light them all, the door at the far end will
open.  Oh, and there's a Joy Pendant in a treasure chest nearby.
Lava Pit: You can bomb the rock off this pot.  Climb in and you'll warp back
to the green pot at the entrance.  Cross the bridge to the next room.
Table Room: Defeat the Bokoblin.  Climb up to the wooden ledge.  Get the
sticks from the pot up here and use them to light the other torch and find a
TREASURE CHART.  There's also a Joy Pendant in the pot on the shelf.  Roll
into the wall to knock it down.  To leave this room, you have to defeat two
more Bokoblins, and they're sleeping in pots.  One on a shelf on the lower
floor, and one in the series of pots on low table along the wall.  Defeating
them will open the doors.
Magtail Room: That little worm across the way is the eponymous Magtail.  Toss
a water jar at it to cause it to roll up in a ball.  Hop across to the
platform and give it heck while it's curled up.  After it's toast, toss
another water jar onto the flame jet nearby.  Hop onto the platform created
and you'll get carried up to the next floor.
Boss Door Room: Yeah, but it's across a big pool of lava, so you're not
getting there yet.  Use the Bomb Flower to blow both rocks.  One has another
Magic Pot, and the other has the door to the next area.
Southern Cliff: You'll get a shot of Valoo from here, looking rather miffed.
Climb up the disentegrating steps along the outside and enter the door.
Defeat the two Bokoblins, and then the big Moblin (which has your first
Skull Necklace), to free Medli.  She'll give you the GRAPPLING HOOK as a
reward.  Use it as she describes to escape this cage area, then swing across
to the boards, which you can chop down with your sword.  Drop down back to the
entry point and face left to find more points where you can grapple.  Cross
all these points and you'll reach the next door.
Bridge Room: Cross the bridge and defeat the two Bokoblin to make a chest with
a Joy Pendant appear at the bottom of the room.  To get to the bottom safely,
take the stick lying nearby, light it, then burn all the ropes on the bridge.
Stand in the middle and you'll drop down to the path below.  Leave by the door
down here.
Lava Pit: We're back here again.  Climb up the steps and into the cage.  Stand
in the center and use a spin attack (charge up B) to cut all three ropes at
once so the platform drops onto the lava below.  Head through the passage and
jump across the platforms and climb up the ladder.  To open this door, look
up and find a hanging switch.  Use your Hook to hang from it and the door will
open.  Hop back and enter.
Lava Passage: If you have Tingle, use the Tingle Bomb on the far side of the
room to uncover the DRAGON TINGLE STATUE.  Latch to the hook above and grab
it, and then turn on the hook to drop to the other passage.  Cross to the
other side.
Big Key Room: There's a Magtail here, and no water.  To stun it, it's best to
use your Grappling Hook on its face just as its jaws open.  It'll curl up and
you can pick it up and drop it on the switch, which needs constant weight.
Open the chest and take the BIG KEY.  Leave and head back to the Lava Pit.
You may want to go after the boss now, but let's take a little side trip,
first.  From the first floor Lava Pit area, go to the West Room 1F, which
had Red ChuChus and a Bokoblin.
West Room 1F: Take out the Bokoblin and grab his stick again.  Burn the stick,
and this time, throw it at the boards across the lava pit.  Use the Hook to
get across and take the TREASURE CHART.  Now, make your way, using Magic Pots
back up to the Boss Door Room.
Boss Door Room: Cross the room with the Hook, defeat the Magtail.  Open the
chests to receive Rupees and a Knight's Crest.  Enter the Boss Door.
*GOHMA*: This is what's been giving Valoo such a pain the rear.  The Gohma can
attack you with its claws or with fire breath.  You'd be wise to act before
he can unleash these attacks.  This fight takes place in two stages.  In the
first stage, use your Hook to latch onto Valoo's tail.  Let go as soon as
you find safe ground.  Valoo will knock down the ceiling onto Gohma, who's
armor will crack.  Do this three more times to completely destroy the armor.
At this point, just use the Hook on Gohma's eye (L-Target it).  Once he's
pulled to you, slash with the sword.  Repeat until Gohma blows up.
Take the Heart Container and step into the wind funnel.  You'll find yourself
at the foot of the mountain.  Medli and Komali will congratulate you and
Komali will give you Din's Pearl.  Now, your destination is south.  If you've
already earned the Wind Requiem, use it to point the wind south, otherwise
head to the monument that the two Rito point out to get it.
On your way out, you'll find a fish, and he'll offer to draw you a map of the
island on your chart, and he'll tell you about his friends, too, who will do
the same.  Just find them splashing near major islands and spread some All-
Purpose Bait in the area.
While we're in the area, let's head back to Windfall Island (use the Wind
Requiem to point west).  Once you're back there, show your Wind Waker to the
guy dancing out in front of the grave and he'll show you the Song of Passing,
which you can use to change day into night into day.  Sounds just like the
old Sun Song, too.  Also, you can return some Red Chu Jellies for a free Red
Potion, if you wish, but there's not much else to do.
If you're up to it, head back to Dragon Roost Island and south to the Forest
Haven.  On your way, it'd be a good idea to mark Pawprint Island, which is
between Windfall and Dragon Roost, and the three islands between Dragon Roost
and Forest Haven: Fire Mountain, East Triangle Island, and Bomb Island.
In the same square as Bomb Island, look for something near the western part
of the square.  It's a submarine.  Destroy its occupants (mostly Bokoblins)
and you'll earn your second EMPTY BOTTLE.
==============================================================
4C. Familiar Forest Faces (Forest Haven and Forbidden Woods) =
==============================================================
Forest Haven Island -
Now, head south all the way and you'll find Forest Haven.  The KoRL will
drop you off near the shore.  So, start climbing up the hillside.  Take out
the Boku Babas and you'll earn some Boku Baba Seeds.  When you reach the end
of the path, use a branch to swing across, and make sure you land on solid
ground, as the water will sweep you away.  There are Octoroks up here, which
you can defeat by blocking their shots back at them.  Hop from land spot to
land spot to reach another branch.  Swing across it to a pool and enter the
Forest Haven.
Forest Haven -
Head up and around the back of the massive tree in this area, and you'll find
that it's, in fact, the Deku Tree, with a whole bunch of Chuchus on its face.
Take this opportunity to get some Green Chu Jelly.  Roll into the Deku Tree
to knock them off and clean house.  You'll then have a long dialog with the
Deku Tree, which culminates in the task to find Makar, a Korok, and with
retrieving a leaf from the Deku Tree's branches.
So, run around the left side and hop into a Baba Bud.  They send you flying.
Push forward to move forward as you fly.  Hop from one Bud to the next.  After
the fourth bud, hop onto a set of upper branches.  Use the Hook to hop to the
next set of Buds.  Fly up to the DEKU LEAF and claim it for your own.  Use it
to float across to where one of the Koroks point you.  Once you reach the
ledge, head out the door.
You'll need to point the wind to the SW to coast over to the platform sticking
out of the water to the left.  After that, point the wind to the NW.  To get
over to the Forbidden Woods, you'll have to get caught in the updraft circling
the platform.  It's actually pretty far out, so coast out a good distance
before it gets between you and the Forbidden Woods, let it catch you and float
towards the tree.  Watch out for the Peahats and enter the dungeon.
*** LEVEL 2 *** Forbidden Woods -
Entry Room: Deal with all the Green ChuChus in the area.  Head to the right
side of the room to take the DUNGEON MAP.  Head to the left side and grab
the Boko Nut.  Toss it at the plant covering the door to destroy it.  Open
the door.
Tendril Room: Down in the basement is a Knight's Crest.  Bash up the Boku
Babas to take their sticks, then throw them at the plant on the chest.  To
get back out, and to the other side, you'll need to use both the Baba Buds
and the Deku Leaf.  As you get boosted up, float over to the next highest
Baba Bud.  Try to avoid the swinging tendrils so you don't get busted up.
Find a way to the highest point in the northeast to find a Joy Pendant in a
pot.  Note that there's a chest to the southwest.  Unfortunately, you have
nothing to remove the plant on it with.  Head through the exit to the north.
Gondola Room: Flap the Deku Leaf at the switch on your left to get the
gondola over to your side, then flap in the opposite direction to move it
back to the other side.  Exit by the north door.
Buds'N'Gondola Room: Take out the Peahats by flapping at them with the Leaf,
then slashing them, and take out the Boku Babas.  One Baba leaves behind a
Bud.  Hop in and leap up next to the door.  Alternatively, you can hop up to
a nearby hole in the tree for a chest with 20 Rupees.  Call the gondola with
the swtich and head over to the other side.  Break the boards with your sword
and grab the Boku Nut.  DROP it on the Gondola (using R) and head back to the
other side.  Toss the nut at the plant on the door to get to the next room.
Surprise Room: Don't get too close to the Boku Nut, because tendrils burst
out of the floor.  Use the Deku Leaf to flap the Nut off its plant, then use
it on the plant on the door.
Korok House Room: Walk around the east side.  Hook across the gap over the
tendril.  Cross to the north side on the moving vines.  Take the Boku Nut
and walk over to the west door.  Toss the Nut on the door to open it.  Also,
keep climbing up using moving vines and you'll reach your second Magic
Pot.
3F West Passage: There are Morths across the gap in this room.  Use Spin
Attacks to dust them off quickly.  The chest below contains 10 Rupees.
Leave by the west exit.
Tendril Maze Room: As the name suggests, tendrils burst out of the ground to
form a psuedo-maze.  Make your way over to the left (south) side.  Use the
Bomb Flower to blow both the nearby boards, and the one in the far corner
(toss it over the tendrils).  The chest next to you has the COMPASS.  Make
your way around the maze to the other corner to get a Small Key.  You can
use the Baba Bud to get up to the platforms, one of which has a Joy Pendant.
Leave this room and head back to the...
Korok House Room: Head to the north part and open the locked door.
North Passage: Flap the Gondola over to your side, and cross.  Avoid the
Peahat, as it'll be tough to kill with water all over the floor.
Hanging Pod Room: Take out the Mothula, Peahat, and Boku Babas.  You can use
the sticks to break up the hanging pods for some items.  Use the Baba Bud to
float up one level of trees, then another.  There's a chest high above you.
To get there, use the Hook on the nearby stick, then climb all the way up
the Hook and onto the stick.  Hook to the next stick and drop onto the
platform.  Ride the moving vines up to the top and grab the Joy Pendant in
the chest.  Watch out for Peahats, and leave by the north door.
Mothula Room: Mini boss time in this room, in the form of a full-grown Mothula.
You can either swat it with the sword when it gets low enough, or flap it
with the Leaf to stun it and then swat it.  Each swat removes one of its four
wings.  Watch out for its diving attack and Morth deployment.  When you clip
all its wings, it switches to ground mode, where it's basically a normal
Mothula that can take quite a few more hits.  Eventually, it'll go down and
the north door will open.  Open the chest and claim the BOOMERANG.  Look
above the south door and target both switches.  Toss it and the door will
open.
Hanging Pod Room: Use the Boomerang on the two plants on the door and pass
through.
North Passage: Use the Boomerang to remove all the pods in your way, then use
the Deku Leaf to cross the pit.  Take the Joy Pendant and leave through the
south door.
Korok House Room: Use the Boomerang on the five cables holding up the house
and it will make a nice big hole in the floor.  You can follow it down, or
you can take this opportunity to go back to...
Tendril Room: The second room of the dungeon.  Float all the way up the chest
in the southwest corner.  Boomerang the plant and take the TREASURE CHART.
Korok House Room: Drop down into the basement.  Enter the door down here.
Basement Passage: Boomerang the Peahat and the Morths.  Hop over to the right.
Take out the Green ChuChus and avoid the grabbing vines and head to the
next room.
Big Flower Room: Cross the flower and grab the 10 Rupees in the chest.  Cut
the flower's four strands with the Boomerang and drop down.  Grab the Bomb
Flower down here and blow open the boards.
Treasure Room: To the right, in the corner, is Tingle's second statue, the
FORBIDDEN TINGLE STATUE.  Have him set a bomb to make it appear.  Now, start
crossing the platforms to the center.  Kill all the Boku Baba until one
becomes a Baba Bud.  Hop in and drift over to the upper platform.  Fan the
gondola switch to bring it over, then ride it to the other side.  Once there,
grab the Bomb Flower and toss it down the hole in the ceiling.  It'll blow
the plant on the chest and you're free to drop down and collect the
TREASURE CHART. Head back to the Big Flower Room.
Big Flower Room: Drop the flower again, and this time we're going to ride it
down the river.  Use the Deku Leaf to fan yourself in the opposite direction.
Use your Shield to bounce back the Octorok attack and climb up to the
opposite side.  Enter the door.
Big Key Room: Climb up the slope to the top.  Use the Boomerang to hit all
five switches.  To do this, start with one of the switches next to the tree
and work your way around.  If you don't, you might not get them all.  Get the
BIG KEY and prepare for attack by Moblins.  Take out the two Moblins.  To
leave this room, use the Hook to attach to the branch above and swing up to
the door.
Basement Passage: Proceed back to the...
Korok House Room: Fan the rotating switch to start an updraft.  Hop in the
Baba Bud and ride the updraft with the Deku Leaf.  Use the Boomerang on the
two plants on the door down here and head through.
2F Passage: Take out the two Mothulas in this room.  Take the Joy Pendant
in the chest and press on east.
Boss Door Room: You're best just leaving all these pods alone, as they have
