The '''Forsaken Fortress''' is located in the far Northwest quadrant of the [[Great Sea]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and it is where [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] has constructed his temporary lair by using a portal from Hyrule under the sea. It's an ominous island, and most people tend to avoid it. The stone fortress is well-guarded with cannons, searchlights, and hordes of [[Miniblin]]s, [[Bokoblin]]s, and [[Moblin]]s, who patrol and attack any would-be invaders. The [[Helmaroc King]] has made his home on the Forsaken Fortress as Ganondorf's servant. It was also the place where [[Link|Link's]] sister, [[Aryll]], was held prisoner, along with [[Mila]] and [[Maggie]].
 
 
During his first visit, Link was catapulted to the fortress by [[Tetra]] and her crew. Upon landing, he loses his sword and is left with only his shield to defend himself. In order to reach the room where Aryll is being held, you must travel to each tower and use [[Boko Stick]]s to defeat the [[Bokoblin]]s operating the searchlights. Once you are outside the room where Aryll is being held, you get your sword back and fight a shielded Bokoblin. Before he is able to save his sister and the other girls, the Helmaroc King swoops in, grabs Link with his beak, and brings him before Ganondorf. Ganondorf then tells the bird to discard him, ergo his rescue attempt failed and Link ended up unconscious in the [[Great Sea]].
 
 
Tetra briefly mentions to Link that the fortress previously belonged to another clan of pirates. This may refer to the [[Gerudo]] tribe. This would make the Forsaken Fortress the [[Great Sea]] version of the [[Gerudo Fortress]]. Additionally, the [[eye symbol|eye and teardrop symbol]] of the [[Sheikah]] tribe can be seen on the ship perched atop the Fortress.

It is interesting to note that along with the other relative locations between some of the islands in ''The Wind Waker'' with some of the locations in ''Ocarina of Time'', that the Forsaken Fortress is located in the northwest, just as Gerudo Desert was in ''Ocarina of Time'' - both the "home bases" of Ganondorf. The fact that the fortress was inhabited by pirates before Ganondorf's arrival, and in knowing the Gerudo race were pirates themselves, Ganondorf himself leading a gang of theives before the events of ''Ocarina of Time'', it only emphasizes the possibility that the Forsaken Fortress was the tallest portion of the Gerudo Fortress that survived the [[The Golden Goddesses|Goddesses']] flood.
