Wind Waker Help Center *spoilers*
 

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

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.

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.


*shrugs and walks away*


No.


*shrugs and walks away*

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...

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.


*shrugs and walks away*

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.

Two questions:

Does anyone know where to find the Shop Guru Statue?

Do you have to trade with all three of the traders on Bomb, Greatfish,
and Mother & Child islands, or not. I've traded town flowers to all three
but all I've gotten is a sea flower. It looks like there is room for something
else on the shopkeeper's shelf.

I have another question:

I've water the wilted bomb plants. Destroyed the giant rock that plugs up the pond. Knocked down those two statues to cross the lava and entered that little shrine. Now what do I do?

Try to find a door that you will be able to open.......

Geez Gamemaster, do you want me to go play for you?

I already figured it out, thanks for the offer though Ranzid :)

seriously... the game doesnt have any parts yet where your totally stumped and cant figure it out and your at the point where you have to go to a forum to ask for help... i havent been stuck for more than a few minutes yet =\... i like the dificulty.. it gets you thinking.. but its not at the point where i think as hard as i can and just cant figure a puzzle out...

I have one, how do you find the 7 deku kids when trying to get the first Triforce piece?

7 Deku Kids? You mean the tree thing? You don't have to do that, that's a sidequest. But if you want to do it, you'll first want to find all of the islands that have a Korog (a Deku Kid) and a tree. You'll want to mark it somehow. Then do to Forest Haven and get some water from inside of it. Then go to each of the islands that have a Korog and water the tree within 20 minutes.

*shrugs and walks away*

oh... well thatrs good

HIOOO!

I beat the first boss dude and made valoo happy. That was last night. I'll play more when I get home from school. So far, I'm loving wind waker....much more than OOT. WW just has more atmosphere and feeling to it. OOT was limited by the N64. Oh, and i've had to ask a 3 times at a forum for help. I'm not used to the Zelda type puzzle solving. This is sweet.

The plant boss is hard

you're kidding me, right?

that boss was terribly easy. But, I won't make fun, different people have different challenges.

Just cut its vine things that attaches it to the ceiling, and when it falls to the ground and opens up, go in and attack the center with your sword. Just be cautious and there's really nothing to worry about.

I need help....I'm in the Tower of Gods.....and I've been there for a couple of days. I was on the first floor and there is a room in the upper right hand corner and it has one of those flying skull dudes that has flames around it......well I killed him and I got a chest.....but I noticed on the map that there is a chest behind the wall. There is a big eye on the wall and I know that I have to do something to it because link's eyes are looking at the eye on the wall.....but I've tried everything and nothing is working and it is driving me crazy. I went to the second floor and got the command song.....but I sort of cheated to get it because I used one of tingle's balloons to let me float in the air for 5 seconds so I could bring that statue across that gap and when I brought him back to the main room he gave me the command song........if you use the GBA you can use stuff that tingle has such as his bombs and his balloons. Anyway I just don't know what to do about those giant eyes. Just give me a hint.

This game is pretty easy... I have yet to just be stomped in a puzzle. OoT is much harder imo (maybe because I was much younger when I played it, but eh, it was harder at the time)

I haven't played for a few days now, I have all but one peice of the Triforce of courage, and I haven't enterd the two "final" temples yet.

You shoot the giant eyes with your arrows.


*shrugs and walks away*

So I guess that means that I need a bow........I already knew that you shoot eyes with a bow......but since I don't have the bow, I just thought there was another way to do it......

NO you need to get a bow .. i cant remember where to get it... the plant boss was the easiest so far for me... only 2 boomerangs to cut the vines off the roof if you make it attack the right ones... no offense or anything bouncer but if you needed help 3 times already and you just beat valoo.. then.. i dunno.. thats pretty bad, but ive beaten OoT like 5 times and the puzzles are kinda similar...

Zebra you dont need to use tingle to help you float over.. basically if i remember corectly... you learn the command song... then you stand on that thing that makes the path appear .. then you use the command song to be come the statue and walk across.. then you go back to link and you flat across the gap with your deku leaf and you go back into that room and then into the next 3 roomes are all kind of similar like that but the puzzles are a bit harder because you already know how to do it...

Im in the earth temple and i just got the special item that you get in there.. i guess i wont say what it is.. ive been there for like 2 days cuz i havent had time to play... the storys really unfolded now and i dont think theres many more twists in the story line from this point on... i think its a really good game and i dont find it that short....

Collecting the triforce peices looks like it may be a bit annoying tho...

The only part ive really been stuck at is right before the earth temple.. didnt know what to do to get inside but i figured it out just aimlessly sailing and warping around... :)

What's the answer, I need to get into the Pirate Ship on Windfall island?

Shooner is the password for that question, I suggest you go sneak into the back of the bomb shop to watch the little cinematic though, they say the password there

actually the passwords are random.. mine was plankton.. if you wanna know what to do you get up really high and face the bomb shop.. then you make the wind blow that way.. you jump off and you glide around tot he back and land on a ledge and crawl through a hole in the back... that actually took me a long time to figure out :unsure:

Actually, to get to the back of the bomb shop like you're supposed to, you have sidle along a little edge at the side to the back. Took me however long it takes to read the message from the walking guy in green ;)

Anyway, you sneak in the back and watch the little cinematic where it says the answer. Then go to the ship.

Mine was Barncale.

*shrugs and walks away*

but if you go around back theres no crack to crawl through.. its like on the second floor sorta isnt it? :unsure: :???: whatever... Im somewhat stuck right now but i dont want anyone to tell me what to do... i jus beat the earth temple... i figure cuz i had to destroy a fire thing to get into that temple im gonna need to melt something cold to get into the next temple.. but thats just pure guessing... now if only someone around town could give me a clue :unsure:

There's vines on the back of the building. You climb up those.


*shrugs and walks away*

Ok lol I just figured out what I was doing wrong and I feel so stupid because I didn't realize that you're supposed to call all the statues, I just thought that you were supposed call the first one, and then the second two you had to command. But with the second two you have to call them first and then command them. Stupid me, well I'm almost done with the Tower of Gods. Thanks lol

This is my first zelda game. I haven't put more than 1 hour on the oot bonus disc. I'm just not accustomed to the zelda type puzzle solving. I'm getting used to it though...like, i'm looking for things and stuff that i wasn't when i first started. Like, i needed help when i had to step on the thing and put the bug on it so the flames around the chest would stay out. Just a few things like that.
