Flight Control Platform

The is an island in. It is a small wooden structure east of Dragon Roost Island where the Bird-Man Contest minigame is hosted.

Features and Overview
The Flight Control Platform is operated by Willi and Obli, a pair of human siblings dressed as Ritos. On the first level of the Flight Control Platform, Old Man Ho Ho can be found staring at the distant banner.

A Submarine can be found southwest of the Flight Control Platform. To open the Treasure Chest at the end of the Submarine, Link must press the step switch inside, spawning enemies that he must then defeat. Within the chest is the Platform Chart, showing the locations of all the Lookout Platforms. In addition, after collecting and opening the Treasure Chart guarded in the Four-Eye Reef, Link can retrieve the Island Hearts Chart.

Bird-Man Contest
The brothers that control the Flight Control Platform challenge Link to a minigame, the Bird-Man Contest. Using the Deku Leaf as well as the NaN Updrafts present in the sea, Link must fly across a long stretch of sea past a goal post. If the goal is reached, the Bird-Man Contest yields a Piece of Heart as the prize. Willi also tells Link how far he flew, with the goal post being 250 yards from the Flight Control Platform.

Trivia

 * If Series: gives a TWWHD: to the TWWHD: on the island, it will state that it is "quite far" from TWWHD: and charge the maximum postage fee of 20 NaN Rupees. This is in spite of the fact that TWWHD: is adjacent to TWWHD:. Nearly every other TWWHD: in the northern half of the TWWHD: — from TWWHD: to TWWHD: — charges the minimum 5-Rupee postage and states that it is near TWWHD:.
