Needing help with Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

*This thread WILL have spoilers, so here is your warning!*
-GameKinG

I'm already having trouble solving the puzzles of Wind Waker, and I'm sure there are other people here that are too. So, if a moderator could sticky this thread, we could make this the place to come to ask questions and answer them.

Here's my question:

The Pirate fired me into the fortress. I lost my sword when I hit the wall. I beat all the guys who run the search lights. Now:

1. How do I get my sword?

2. How do I get to my sister in the window with all the seagulls?

Thank you!

The Fortress goes around sorta like a cricle. there are 3 (I think it's 3) outside parts that are like hallways. Each of these has a balcony of which when you go on it, the camera will look at something important. One of the balconies shows a stairway that leads up the main tower. Go up there and you shall receive your sword as well as find your sister

and also, considering there are still people who do not have the game, I think one of the mods should put a spoiler warning in the topic title.

Er, well to get your sword is basically the same way of hiding your sister, you have to make it to the very top of the Fotress, there will be a short cutscene which shows where your sword is, and then you go into a room where your sister is.

Thanks guys.

Go ahead and put a spoiler warning if you think it's necessary. I thought the title was pretty self explanatory as to there would be discussion of the game but maybe that's just me.

Anyone know where I can increase my magic (for the leaf)?

I've gotten upgrades for everything else except that. And I'm assuming I can somewhere.

DarkMaster · 03-30-2003, 03:15 PM

have you tried the Southern or Western fairy islands? one of them might give you an upgrade

Here's my question. *SPOILERS*
I'm at the point to where I'm supposed to find a way to enter the former temples back in OoT. I'm starting with I believe the forest temple, basically the wind blowing so I can't get in. I can't find the "metal boots", or whatever metal I need to not get blown away by the wind. I'm at the island the fish have told me to go. The Mother and Child Island, but I can't get into the BIG mountain/hill thing. So, how do I get to it/get the metal thing. And, if I need something to control the cyclone next to me, where do I go to get the thing needed to control it (or what thing is needed to control it)?

Metal boots are in an island that is frozen with a dragon's head.

To control the cyclone get sucked into one and shoot at the pink guy at the top with your arrow. Three shots will do it.

And I've looked in all the fairy islands to increase my magic...

I'm stuck at Outset Island, and I just got Farore's Pearl....I used the deku leaf to get to that rock that is shaped like a head but I don't know what to do next........I tried bombing it.

Yea you cant blow up that rock...If you try lifting it it will tell you that you dont currently have the power to move it...Just ignore it for now and go have a word with your boat...he should tell you what to do next. Also, you should heal your Grandma with a fariy.

Is there any way to make cross hairs for the cannon?

There's a Big Octo somewhere that when you defeat it, a fairy will come out and double your magic. I don't remember which square it was that I found it... Just keep looking for flocks of seagulls. That means there's a Big Octo around there. Keep killing Big Octo's until you find the fairy.

Well, I follow the flocks of seagulls and I keep on following them, and then eventually they lead me off of the square that I'm on and disappear.

Is the upgrade necessary though? I'm getting rather tired of looking...

Ginkasa · 03-30-2003, 07:10 PM

You don't need to follow each and every seagull. If you see a bunch of sea gulls flying around the same place over the ocean, then there should be a Big Octo there.

But the upgrade isn't necessary to beat the game. There's a little mini-game that you can't beat if you don't have it (the Rito Flying Man contest), but you can beat the game without.

Beat the Octo at Two-eye Reef. It's the island that is exactly in the
middle on the bottom row of the sea chart. The Octo is a bit south of the
island.
