Thonky.com's Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Walkthrough

Using the Earth God's Lyric, Link awakens someone to their true nature as a sage.

Get Figurines Made

Nintendo Gallery Note: Get any figurines made that you still have pictographs of in your picto box, then save the game. You are about to encounter some characters that you only have one chance to get a pictograph of.

Take a Picture of the Disappearing Kogoli

With three free picto slots, warp to Dragon Roost Island. Go up to where you played the mail sorting game and go through the door to the left that goes outside.

Nintendo Gallery Note: The Rito at the rightmost side is Kogoli. He will completely disappear from the game after you awaken the next sage, so you must take a picture now to get his figurine. First, look for the pole in the nearby cliff wall that you can use the Grappling Hook on. Use it to swing across to the other side. Then follow the path until you reach the curved part of the fence. Stand there and point your Picto Box at Kogoli, and zoom in to get a picture that shows his whole body from head to toe. Go to the Forest Haven and get his figurine made right away so you can have three free picto slots for the upcoming one-chance-only characters.

Find Medli

From the platform with Kogoli on it, use the Grappling Hook on the pole up above, and swing across. Follow the path and you will find Medli playing a harp. Walk up to her and she will talk to you. Don't play the Earth God's Lyric yet.

Take Medli's Picture

Nintendo Gallery Note: Save the game. You won't be able to get Medli's picture after the next dungeon. After she has talked to you, she will turn to face you. Back up and take the picture. You can take her picture during the next dungeon, but you might as well do it now. You can go get her figurine made now if you wish, or just save the game and don't save again until you have had her figurine made.

Play the Earth God's Lyric for Medli

After Medli has talked to you, go up to her and use the Wind Waker. She will notice and comment on it. (If she doesn't, talk to her again first.) Play the Earth God's Lyric. After a cutscene, she joins you in your boat. Warp to Outset Island, sail east to Headstone Island, and you will automatically land.

After the cutscene, go up to the slab with Medli near you and play the Earth God's Lyric. You will automatically enter the Earth Temple.
