There's a real peculiar cave toward the backside of this here Dragon Roost Island. Yeah, real peculiar. But I doubt you'll ever get there to see it, small fry-unless you manage to sprout wings and fly, that is... 'Cause you won't be getting there otherwise!'

Dragon Roost Island
There's a red dragon at the summit! His name is Valoo, I think.

Dragon Roost Island can be seen from a great distance, as it primarily consists of a huge mountain. There are many explosive fruits scattered across the island, and many Kargarocs have made it their home. The planted bombs are necessary to blow up some rocks that prevent access to the inner area of the island. After the obstacles are cleared, it is a matter of walking through a wooden passage that leads to the shrine of the Rito tribe.

Around Dragon Roost Island are three secret Treasure Chests to be discovered. The first is in a secret Cave blocked by a boulder near the Wind Shrine. Defeating all the enemies in the Cave unlocks a door that leads to a chest containing a Purple Rupee. The second is a Cave behind the foot of the island that can be accessed by hovering across the steep rock formations with the help of the Deku Leaf and the Wind Waker. Link must be careful when dealing with Kargarocs while hovering to the Cave. Inside is a single Treasure Chest containing an Orange Rupee. The final Treasure Chest is found at the southwestern end of the island, atop a boulder high up against the wall of Dragon Roost. Growing near the boulder are several Bomb Flowers. Detonating one of the Bomb Flowers by piercing it with an Arrow or using a Hyoi Pear to bring a Seagull up to touch it engages a chain reaction; when the Bomb Flower nearest to the boulder explodes, the boulder will crumble and the Treasure Chest on top of it will fall to the ground. Inside this chest is a Silver Rupee.

Trivia[]

In both The Wind Waker official soundtrack and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a bassline was added to Dragon Roost Island's theme and the general audio quality of the instruments was improved. It is the only song on the soundtrack, as well as one of the few songs in Brawl with the "Original" label, that is not a fully accurate representation of the in-game music.
The background music heard in Rito Village in Breath of the Wild contains references to the theme of Dragon Roost Island.
- In Tears of the Kingdom, a somber version of the Dragon Roost Island theme is heard in the Rito Village. The boss theme for Colgera also contains a more dramatic take on the theme. Finally, after completing the Wind Temple, the original version of the song from Breath of the Wild resumes playing in the village.
Before the Great Flood in The Wind Waker, Dragon Roost Island was Zora's Domain.^[3] However, Dragon Roost visually resembles Death Mountain. Both locations are large volcanoes with dragons and rings of clouds encircling the peak.
With the exception of sequence-breaking glitches, The Wind Waker's in-game clock remains static during Link's first trip to the island. Time does not start progressing naturally until he completes Dragon Roost Cavern and sails away from the island.
