The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Secrets

This page lists the secrets and unlockables in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Bigoctos
There are six Bigoctos spread across the Great Sea, each with 4, 8, or 12 eyes. If Link defeats them, he will be rewarded.

Blue ChuChu locations
There are twenty-three Blue ChuChus in the game, but due to the fact that one island holds two of them, there are only twenty-two islands on the proceeding list.

All Blue ChuChus will only appear outside - never in caves, or buildings. The islands they appear on are usually small and mostly insignificant.


 * Crescent Moon Island x2 - This is the only island on the game home to more than one Blue ChuChu.
 * Pawprint Isle - Also home to the Great Sea's biggest colony of Green ChuChu and Red ChuChus.
 * Angular Isles
 * Bird's Peak Rock
 * Boating Course
 * Cliff Plateau Isles
 * Diamond Steppe Island
 * Eastern Fairy Island
 * Horseshoe Island
 * Mother & Child Isles
 * Needle Rock Isle
 * Northern Fairy Island
 * Overlook Island
 * Rock Spire Isle
 * Shark Island
 * Southern Fairy Island
 * Spectacle Island
 * Star Island
 * Stone Watcher Island
 * Thorned Fairy Island
 * Tingle Island
 * Western Fairy Island

Bottles
There are four bottles in the game that Link can obtain. They are located at these four islands:

Beedle's Chart
After completing the Tower of the Gods, Beedle's Chart will arrive in any postbox, Link can use this chart if he pays the 201 Rupee delivery fee. This chart will show all the locations of Beedle's boat as well as his special boat where he sells a Heart Piece, Bottle, and Treasure Chart.

Octo Chart
The Octo Chart is the reward from Treasure Chart #26. It reveals the locations of the six Bigoctos.

Ghost Ship Chart
The Ghost Ship Chart is hidden in a grotto under Diamond Steppe Island. It shows when and were the ghost ship will be every night. This chart is needed to enter the ship.

Great Fairy Chart
The Great Fairy Chart is the reward from Treasure Chart #41. It shows where all 8 Great Fairies are located.

IN-credible Chart
The IN-credible Chart will appear in any postbox after Link has rescued his sister from the Forsaken Fortress. Tingle sends the chart to Link, though taking it requires Link paying a 201 Rupee delivery fee. This chart shows the location of all eight Triforce Charts as well as the location of the Triforce Shards after the charts have been translated by Tingle.

Island Hearts Chart
The Island Hearts Charts is the reward from Treasure Chart #19. It shows how many Heart Pieces are on each island.

Light Ring Chart
The Light Ring Chart is the reward from Treasure Chart #21. It shows the locations of the Light Rings which give good treasures when there is a full moon.

Platform Chart
The Platform Chart is the reward from the submarine near the Flight Control Platform. It shows where all the skull platforms are located.

Sea Hearts Chart
The Sea Hearts Chart is the reward from Treasure Chart #32. It shows the locations of the Treasure Charts that reward Link a Heart Piece.

Secret Cave Chart
The Secret Cave Chart is the reward from Treasure Chart #13. It shows the locations of all the Grottoes.

Submarine Chart
The Submarine Chart is located near the Boating Coarse. Link has to use the Deku Leaf to fly to the nearby island, enter the grotto, and then hit all three switches which will cause a Treasure Chest to appear holding this chart. It shows the locations of the seven submarines.

Tingle's Chart
Tingle's Chart is given to Link along with the Tingle Tuner after he frees Tingle from his prison cell on Windfall Island. It shows the location of Tingle Island, Windfall Island, and the two Great Fairies that upgrade Link's wallet.

Treasure Charts
There are 41 Treasure Charts that Link can use to find treasure. Once he has obtained the chart, he can then open it and sail to the location where the treasure is hidden in the Great Sea. However, the charts do not name the island the treasure is near other than showing parts of the island they are near, requiring Link to figure out where the island is located himself. When he is near a Treasure Chart's treasure, a Light Ring with a large amount of light shooting out of it will indicate the treasure. He can then use his Grappling Hook on the spot where the Light Ring is located.

Triforce Charts
There are eight Triforce Charts that Link must use to find the shards of the Triforce of Courage.

Fairies
There are eight Great Fairies that will reward Link with upgrades.

Pieces of Heart
In total, there are 44 Pieces of Heart hidden throughout the game. They are located in the following places:

Second Quest Bonuses
After beating the game the first time, it will allow for opening a special save slot. If "yes" is selected, then when the game is played again. Link will appear to wear his regular outfit for the entire game as the Heros Clothes are invisible. Link will also understand the Hylian Language and will understand what Valoo, the Great Deku Tree (when Link meets him) and Jabun say. Also, Link will start with the Deluxe Picto Box, and Aryll will be wearing different clothes, probably obtained in her time aboard the Pirate Ship. Besides that, the Nintendo Gallery will already be open and any figurines previously obtained by the player will continue in the gallery.

Traveling Tips
When Link is swinging on the ropes, if a player finds this difficult, press the A button just after Link grabs the rope. He will automatically jump to the next ledge.

NOTE: This does NOT work for one of the ropes in the Forsaken Fortress (the second one from Link's jail cell).

Zelda's Heart
During the final battle with Ganondorf, if you aim the Hookshot toward Zelda, you will grab a heart and your health will be restored. Some believe it is Zelda's heart, but most assume it's just there for extra help.
