The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: secrets
Optional discoveries from the original GameCube voyage.
Revive the eight forest trees
Bottle Forest Water from Forest Haven and water all eight withered Korok trees before it expires. The last restored tree yields a Piece of Heart. The original GameCube timer is 20 minutes, so plan your sailing and warps before filling the Bottle.
Larger wallets
Visit the Great Fairies on Outset Island and Northern Fairy Island for wallet upgrades. On Outset, Bomb the large boulder in the Fairy Woods. The upgrades raise capacity to 1,000 and then 5,000 Rupees, whichever fountain you visit first.
Grandmother’s Elixir Soup
Return to Outset when Grandmother is ill and release a bottled Fairy near her. After she recovers, she fills an empty Bottle with two servings of Elixir Soup. Return for a refill after using the soup.
Tingle statues need the Tingle Tuner
The five hidden dungeon Tingle statues require a connected Game Boy Advance, a GameCube–GBA link cable and the Tingle Tuner. Use Tingle Bombs at their hidden spots. Ordinary Bombs cannot reveal these chests in the original GameCube game.
