If you are a completionist, read this guide for a walkthrough to collect all of the treasures in Wind Waker.
About the World Tour
After you complete the Wind Temple, you might want to go to every square in the Great Sea and collect everything that is out there. This page explains some of the harder tasks that you will face. In addition to the tasks listed on this page, be sure to take the time to get all of the treasure charts, empty bottles, pieces of heart, upgrades, and so on.
Horseshoe Island
To reach Horseshoe Island, warp to Outset Island and sail one square west.
You can play golf here. Climb up onto the island, but don't go too far, because spiky vines will shoot up from the ground and block your path. There is a flag beyond the vines that marks a hole in the ground. You must throw a nut inside. Pick up the nut, face the flag, then press L to face forward and adjust your position to line up with the flag. Throw the nut when you are aligned. If the deku nut doesn't go far enough, blow a gust of air at it with the deku leaf. After you complete each hole, the vines go away, allowing you to continue.
After you complete all of the holes, a chest appears that contains treasure chart #28. After you open this chest, go back onto the bigger island, go to the highest end of it, and fall into the hole. Defeat the mothulas with the Boomerang or whatever weapon you prefer, and a chest will appear. Open it to receive treasure chart #8.
Decorate Windfall
You can buy trading goods from Zunari, such as the Town Flower and Big Catch Flag and so on. There are 37 places around Windfall Island where you can place these trading goods to decorate the town. If you decorate all 37 spots, you will get a piece of heart. Here is a list of all of the spots around Windfall where you can put a decoration.
- There are 2 in front of Zunari's shop
- There are 3 near Sam, who sits on the bench overlooking the sea near Zunari's shop
- There are 2 in Lenzo's shop
- There are 4 in Salvatore's shop
- There are 4 in Miss Marie's school
- There are 6 on top of the wall that you can reach by going through the arch to the left of Miss Marie's school
- There are 5 in Maggie's house. They are all close to Maggie.
- There are 6 in auction house. Two are on the stage, reachable by jumping down from Maggie's house.
- There are 2 inside the potion shop
- There is 1 outside potion shop to left
- There are 2 on the wooden platform near Kamo, who sits in front of the auction house door.
After you put any combination of trading goods into each one (even if they are all Town Flowers), talk to Sam a couple of times to get a piece of heart.
Angular Isles
The Angular Isles are one square southwest of the Forest Haven.
On the first level of the bigger island, pull the lower block halfway. Climb up, then go around the corner and push the block off the ledge, fall to it, pull it the rest of the way over, and climb up. With the two stacked blocks, pull the bottom one halfway out, climb up both blocks, and climb onto the top level to find a chest that contains a piece of heart.
From here, carefully go down to the edge of this island that is nearest to the smaller island. Use the Hookshot on the palm tree to reach the smaller island. Fall into the hole there. Pull the bottom block around to the other side. Climb up and pull the block halfway. Fall to the bottom level and pull the bottom block out another step. Climb up and pull the second block another step so the blocks fall. Climb up, and pull the block only halfway. Climb up two blocks and pull the second-highest block halfway, then climb up and turn right, and shine the light onto the semi-invisible chest, then glide over to it to receive 200 rupees. Then step into the column of light to exit the cave.
Link's Private Oasis
First, you need to get the Cabana Deed from Miss Marie in the classroom on Windfall. She will give it to you if you give her 20 Joy Pendants. If you don't have enough, go north from the Forest Haven to reach Bomb Island, and sail to the submarine near the island, but don't go in yet. Use the Grappling Hook on the Bokoblin outside of the submarine to get a Joy Pendant. Then you can go into the submarine and come back out, and use the Grappling Hook on the Bokoblin again, and so on until you have enough Joy Pendants.
After you get the Cabana Deed from Miss Marie, assign it to one of your buttons, then go to the Private Oasis, which is one square south of the Tower of the Gods. Show the Cabana Deed to the butler painted on the door of the cabana. Then you can enter the house. Inside, you can play the picture puzzle. You win 50 rupees each time you complete the picture. Here is a general strategy to try:
Look carefully at the solution picture (shown to the left of the fireplace). Take special note of squares that just show the background, and none of the character. Make sure you know where these background-only squares go. Here's is a notation for how the puzzle is laid out:
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p
The puzzle itself will have 15 of the 16 squares shown. The one that's missing is always the square in the upper right corner. In other words, to solve the puzzle, you need to arrange the squares like this:
a b c e f g h i j k l m n o p
The basic strategy is to go from top row to bottom row, sliding squares into their proper places row by row. However, since the upper right square is the one that's missing, try to arrange it like this:
a b c h ? ? ? l ? ? ? p m n o
That way, everything is in a line so that when you shift the squares, it ends up like this:
a b c ? ? ? h ? ? ? l m n o p
The tricky part is getting the remaining 6 squares in place. Good luck!
Flight Control Platform
The Flight Control Platform is one square east of Dragon Roost Island.
To have the best chance of success at the Flight Control Platform, upgrade your magic meter. To do that, defeat the Big Octo near Southern Fairy Island.
The minigame costs 10 rupees to play. Before you jump off, set the wind direction to northwest. To succeed, you have to jump off and use the Deku Leaf, use the moving cyclones to stay afloat. You also have to avoid going too far to the left or right, or you will run out of magic before you reach the end. Because of this, you have to watch the cyclones before you jump, to make sure that the cyclones will be close to the middle when you reach them. It may take some trial and error to get the timing right. You can jump into the first cyclone, which is just to the right of where you first jump off, and you have to fly over the second cyclone, which goes back and forth in the left half of the course, so you have to be slightly to the left to fly over it when it is close to the middle. That second cyclone sends you far up enough that you may be able to fly all the way to the end without needing another cyclone.
If you win, you get a Piece of Heart.
Afterward
Now it is time to look for the Triforce Charts and Triforce Shards.
