| − | The '''Great Sea'''<ref>{{Cite|When the Hero of Time was called to embark on another journey and left the land of Hyrule, he was separated from the elements that made him a hero. It is said that at that time, the Triforce of Courage was split into eight shards and hidden throughout the land. Even I do not know where they rest, but this much I do know: they lie hidden somewhere in this Great Sea.|King of Red Lions|Wind Waker}}</ref> is the setting in which the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' take place. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', the Great Sea only makes an appearance during the introduction and ending sequences of the game. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In-game, the Great Sea is restricted to an area of 7x7 1000-unit squares, each containing an island of its own. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==History and Mythology== |
||
| − | {{Main|Great Flood}} |
||
| − | [[File:GreatSeaIllustrationWW.png|left|150px]] |
||
| − | Many years before ''The Wind Waker'' begins, the land of [[Hyrule]] was flooded by the [[Deity|Gods]] as a last resort to stop [[Ganon|Ganon's]] forces when [[Link|the Hero of Time]] didn't arrive to destroy them. Its surviving people fled to the mountain-tops and tried to restore their peaceful lives. Those mountain-tops became the many islands of The Great Sea. Many years passed since then, and the people have forgotten about the history of "Old" Hyrule, except as a bedtime story told to children, and in a coming of age ceremony for young boys.<br> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Governance== |
||
| − | The majority of the islands in the Great Sea are actually uninhabited, meaning that no one governs them; neither [[Outset Island]] nor [[Windfall Island]] are governed officially, despite their dense population. Only [[Dragon Roost Island]] (with a [[Rito Chieftain]] and the Sky Spirit [[Valoo]]), [[Forest Haven]] (with the [[Great Deku Tree]] as the Earth Spirit), and [[Greatfish Isle]] (with Jabun as the Sea Spirit) are known to have guardian deities. In addition, certain islands are owned by individual characters for private purposes. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Economy== |
||
| − | Like in most lands in the ''Zelda'' universe, and because of the fact that the Great Sea is born from Hyrule, [[rupee]]s are the means of currency, which is accepted in every inhabited island in the game. However, the economy is a bit more diverse than in the former land of Hyrule, given the different businesses run; for example, [[Goron#The Wind Waker|Traveling Merchants]] fuel trading sequences by selling their goods to travelers and also sending them to major shops and retails to give townspeople access to them. Auctions are run in [[Windfall Island]] every night, and shop ships can be seen sailing around numerous islands as well. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Technology in the Great Sea== |
||
| − | {{Main|Technology in The Legend of Zelda Universe#The Wind Waker|Technology in the Great Sea}} |
||
| − | The weaponry in the Great Sea is more advanced than it was in Hyrule before its flood. Navigating across the waters are [[Warship]]s capable of shooting at enemies from far distances. It's unknown whether these boats are piloted manually or work automatically (in the latter case, it would indeed prove how much advancement is shown in matter of technology in the Great Sea). Mounted in [[Eye Reefs|coral reefs]] and high platforms are wall-placed warlike cannons that can shoot bombs to distant enemies, and they do operate on their own. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Advanced tools and devices can be found as well, such as the [[Tingle Tuner]] (which allows communication between the user and [[Tingle|an assistant]] for various purposes), [[Pictography|color-recording Picto Boxes]] (used to take pictographs that become important for [[Nintendo Gallery|figurine making]], and pieces of ancient technology (as seen in [[Tower of the Gods]] and [[Wind Temple]]). Aside from this, it's unknown how much Hyrule had progressed in this aspect before being flooded, thus it's unknown how much was lost before the aforementioned divine intervention. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Geography== |
||
| − | {{Main|Great Sea Islands}} |
||
| − | [[File:Zeldawindwaker01.jpg|thumb|Link navigating the Great Sea]]Most of the islands in the '''Great Sea''' are quite small, with little intelligent life inhabiting them. The chief island is [[Windfall Island|Windfall]], which houses various shops and attractions, and has the only major village, except for a small settlement on [[Outset Island|Outset]], another important location. Aside from these islands, some of the more prominent ones in the Great Sea include: |
||
| − | |||
| − | *[[Dragon Roost Island]], home of the [[Rito]] tribe, and where the Great Sea's main messenger company is located. |
||
| − | *[[Forest Haven]], home of the [[Korok]] tribe, whose inhabitants are dedicated to travel across the Great Sea to cultivate trees in order to create new forests. |
||
| − | *[[Forsaken Fortress]], former home of a clan of pirates, and source of the evil by the moment the events of ''The Wind Waker'' take place. |
||
| − | *[[Greatfish Isle]], formerly the home of numerous people, it is tragically destroyed at a point of the game. |
||
| − | *[[Tower of the Gods]], hidden fortress said to wait for a hero to rise it from the sea's dephts. |
||
| − | *[[Headstone Island]], which houses one of the temples where a [[Sage]] prays to ensure the power of the [[Master Sword]] to work. It's directly east of Outset. |
||
| − | *[[Gale Isle]], which houses the other temple where a [[Sage]] prays for the power of the [[Master Sword]] to work. It's directly north of Windfall. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Among the remaining islands, abandoned [[Triangle Islands|triangle-shaped isles]], sacred [[Fairy Islands|seashell-shaped islands]], [[Eye Reefs|giant reefs]] and [[Star Isles|archipelagos]] adorn the vast territory of the Great Sea. Additionally, it's told by [[Fishman|fishmen]] that other islands guard charts leading the location of [[Triforce Shard|sacred golden fragments]], as well as other legendary treasures (notably in [[Fire Mountain]], [[Ice Ring Isle]] and [[Mother & Child Isles]]). |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Population== |
||
| − | There are many people in the Great Sea, but the main group is [[Hyruleans|Hyrulean]]. They live on [[Windfall Island|Windfall]] and [[Outset Island]], but they are also scattered around. The [[Rito]] live on [[Dragon Roost Island]] with the Sky Spirit [[Valoo]], and the [[Koroks]] reside on [[Forest Haven]] with the [[Great Deku Tree]]. [[Goron]]s in this game are in the form of [[Goron#The Wind Waker|Traveling Merchants]]. No signs of the [[Kokiri]]s or the [[Zora]]s remain, as they gradually evolved into the aforementioned [[Korok]] and [[Rito]], respectively. Also, a fish creature called [[Jabun]] is in this game, looking like [[Lord Jabu-Jabu|Jabu-Jabu]] and the [[Fishman|fishmen]] (the latter inhabiting the waters of the Sea). Finally, there are at least one group of pirates, [[Tetra's Pirate Crew]], along with other seafarers, such as the [[Salvage Corp]]. |
