The Great Sea atlasThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind WakerGUIDES

The Wind Waker characters

Partners need a route of their own

Medli and Makar have abilities Link cannot simply equip. In their later temples, the Command Melody and deliberate placement of both characters solve obstacles that a solo route cannot. Check whether the partner can reach the next platform and trigger before moving Link through a door. Beedle, Fishmen and Tingle serve different sea-travel needs, so attach the service to the character rather than expecting every contact to advance the story directly.

Meet the people of the Great Sea, grouped by their home islands and communities.
