The Triforce of Courage has been shattered. The pieces are hidden around the Great Sea, marked by Triforce Charts.

Introduction

The Triforce of Courage has been shattered, and Link must reassemble it to return to the mysterious underwater place. To do so, he must first find the eight Triforce Charts that are hidden around the Great Sea.

How to Get the IN-credible Chart

To help you find the Triforce Charts, you can get the IN-credible Chart. To do so, If you haven't released Tingle from the Windfall Island jail, do so now. The jail is through the door near the grave that Tott dances next to. Step on the switch behind the barrels to open the jail cell.

Then, if you have completed the Forsaken Fortress the second time, Tingle's IN-credible Chart will appear in the postbox eventually. You have to pay 201 rupees to make the postbox give you the letter.

The Triforce Charts

Below are instructions on how to find each chart.

Triforce Chart #1: Islet of Steel

Go to the Islet of Steel and use your cannon to sink all of the warships and destroy the wall cannons. Cruise into the fortress and play the Wind's Requiem on the swirl symbol on the floor to get Treasure Chart #1.

If you don't have 20 Joy Pendants, you can go to the submarine near Bomb Island and use the grappling hook on the bokoblin outside, then go into the submarine, exit, and use the grappling hook on the bokoblin again. Keep doing this until you have collected 20 Joy Pendants.

Give 20 Joy Pendants to Mrs. Marie to receive the Cabana Deed. Teleport to the Tower of the Gods and go south to the Private Oasis and use the deed on the butler door.

Inside, look at the ceiling and use the grappling hook on the pole here. The flames will disappear from the fireplace, revealing a hole. Fall in.

From where you begin, go straight, then take the first right. When you reach the fork, go right and go down the ladder. Turn around to face the ladder and crawl through the hole there.

Keep going until you reach a fork in the path, then go straight the first time, straight the second time, and left the last time. You will reach a room full of jars that contain many rupees. Crawl back into the hole, then go left when you reach a fork. You will reach another ladder. Climb up.

Use the hammer on the switch on the left, then go through the door. Climb down this ladder, then turn around to face it. Turn right and go through the hole. The chest here contains 100 rupees. Go back to the room with the ladder. Go through the hole on the left.

Eventually, you will reach another ladder. Climb up. Hit the switch that you can reach, then ignore the door and jump into the hole. Defeat the re-deads, then get rid of the jars to reveal a hole. Go in and follow the path until you find another ladder. Climb up, then stand on the swirl symbol and play the Wind's Requiem to get Triforce Chart #2.

To exit, hit the switch in this room and go through the door. Turn left, go through the door that you unlocked with the hammer, take the first right, then follow the path and look for the sparkling light on the left. Step in to go back to the Cabana.

Triforce Chart #3: Bird's Peak Rock

Buy some hyoi pears if you don't have any, then warp to Forest Haven and go northeast to Bird's Peak Rock. First, you need to defeat the Kargarocs around the island. You can use the Grappling Hook to go up to the ledge and defeat the Kargarocs with arrows, but you might also need to use a hyoi pear to lure the Kargarocs over to Link, where he can easily defeat them.

After the Kargarocs are gone, use a hyoi pear to activate all of the switches. When the gate opens, fall into the hole, then play the Wind's Requiem while standing on the swirl symbol to get Triforce Chart #3.

Triforce Chart #4: Ghost Ship (Diamond Steppe Island)

To get this chart, you must find the Ghost Ship. To do so, first warp to Outset Island and sail one square northwest to Diamond Steppe Island. Use the Hookshot to pull yourself up to the top, where there is a hole in the ground. Fall in.

Get your boomerang ready so you can deal with the Floormasters in this area. Jump into the warp jar in front of you.

This is a bit of a maze. There are four warp jars around. This first area has two torches and a wooden wall straight ahead. Go around the back of that wooden wall, defeat the Floormaster, then use a wooden stick to burn the lid off the jar that the Floormaster was blocking, and go into the warp jar. Open the chest to get the Joy Pendant. Then fall down from the part of the ledge that has no railing. Burn the lid off the warp jar nearest to the ledge that you fell down from, and go into it (you may need to defeat the Floormasters first if you need a wooden stick to burn the lid off). Then defeat the Floormaster in the middle, and go to where there are two jars close to each other. Burn the lid off of the left one and fall into it. Then defeat the Floormaster, and go up a short flight of stairs beyond the torches to find a chest. Open it to get the Ghost Ship chart, then fall down through the opening in the railing, then enter the sparkling light to leave.

The chart shows moon phases for different islands. Since Diamond Steppe is one of the islands on the chart, you can play the Song of Passing until the moon is the phase shown next to Diamond Steppe. Or you can look at your Sea Chart, and the ghost ship's current location will be displayed if it is night time. Sail around looking for the ghost ship. When you see it, change the wind direction so you can sail up to it. You will be transported into it. Go down to the lower level and defeat all of the monsters. There is a Wizzrobe, a Re-Dead, and two Poes (lure them into the small beam of light to turn them solid, or just hit their lanterns then let them possess you and they will die when they leaves). After you defeat all the monsters, the ladder will fall. Climb up it and hit the jars to get rupees (you won't be able to hit the jars after you open the chest), then open the chest to receive Triforce Chart #4. After you get this Triforce Chart, you will automatically be sent back to your boat.

Triforce Chart #5: Needle Rock Isle

Go to Needle Rock Isle and find the warships that are cruising around. They are a distance away from the island itself, so you might need to use the telescope to look for them. Sink the gold one with your cannon, then use the grappling hook at the glowing circle that it leaves behind to get Triforce Chart #5.

Triforce Chart #6: Outset Island

This chart requires the Power Bracelets. If you don't have them, read Fire Mountain for instructions on how to get them.

Warp to Outset Island. This chart is difficult to get. If you don't have any of Granny's soup, you might want to empty a bottle and talk to her to get some soup.

When you're ready, walk up to the hill where the bridge used to be. Look for Old Man Ho Ho and follow his line of sight with your telescope to see a giant stone head. Stand on the rock closest to where the bridge was and set the wind to northwest. Glide over to the stone head and pick it up. Fall into the hole.

This is the Savage Labyrinth. You can hit the jar in the first room to get three fairies. Be sure to put them in bottles if you have empty ones, but don't get rid of Granny's soup if you have some. On each floor of the Savage Labyrinth, you must fight a lot of monsters to reveal a hole to the next floor. To get Triforce Chart #6, you have to go through 30 floors of the Savage Labyrinth. None of the monsters drop healing items, but you can use the Grappling Hook to pull items from them, including hearts and magic jars. For extra help, bring fairies and Granny's soup.

On the 30th floor, you will find Triforce Chart #6. You can optionally continue to lower floors. The 50th floor has a Piece of Heart in the original version of Wind Waker, but in Wind Waker HD you get the Hero's Charm on the 50th floor instead.

Triforce Chart #7: Stone Watcher Island

You will need the Power Bracelets to get this chart. If you don't have them, follow the instructions on Fire Mountain to get them. Go to Stone Watcher Island and pick up the stone head. Fall into the hole. In the main room, you can bomb all the columns to get rupees. This also gets them out of the way of the battle that you will have in this room later. Go through each door and defeat the monsters, then defeat the Darknuts that appear in the first room. Your reward is Triforce Chart #7.

Triforce Chart #8: Overlook Island

Go to Overlook Island. It is one square northeast of Dragon Roost Island. Go to the lowest palm tree and use the Hookshot on it, then use the Hookshot on the other trees to reach a hole. Fall into it. Defeat all of the monsters in the rooms to get this chart.

Deciphering the Charts

Unfortunately, you can't make use of the Triforce Charts right away. First, you must take them to Tingle and pay 398 to have him decipher each one. The total cost to decipher all eight charts is 3184 rupees.

If you haven't upgraded your wallet, one wallet upgrade is on Northern Fairy Island, and one is in the Outset Forest Cave where you saved Tetra. Bomb the large rock there to find a fairy who will upgrade your wallet.

If you don't yet have the IN-credible Chart, see How to Get the IN-credible Chart on this page.

Once you have the IN-credible Chart, you can take your Triforce Charts to Tingle on Tingle Island and have him decipher them.

Finding the Triforce Shards

Use your deciphered Triforce Charts to find the shards. The Triforce Shards can be found in the following locations:

  • Greatfish Isle
  • Gale Isle
  • Stone Watcher Island
  • Outset Island
  • Cliff Plateau Isles
  • Southern Triangle Island
  • Seven-Star Isles
  • Two-Eye Reef

Afterward

After you reassemble the Triforce of Courage, go to the Tower of the Gods and go through an archway into the circular area. There will be a cutscene, and you will once again return to the Mysterious Underwater Place.
