Windfall Island Walkthrough

Windfall Island

1
You'll wake up in an alcove beneath Windfall Island, aboard a talking boat named King of the Red Lions. Hop off the boat and go up the slope on your left. Just past the ramp is a door that leads to a small prison.
2
Destroy the pots in the corner to find a switch. Step on it to free Tingle, who will give you the Tingle Tuner (GameCube version) or Tingle Bottle (HD version) as thanks. He will also give you Tingle's Chart so you can come visit him later on!
*
There's one more thing to do in this room. Go inside Tingle's cell and destroy (or push) the crate at the back wall to reveal a secret passage.

Crawl into the passage and follow this path while navigating the maze: ▶, ◀, ▲, ▶, ◀, ▲, ◀, ▶, ▶, ▲, ▶.

You'll end up in a small space with a chest in the middle containing a Picto Box! You can go back to the cell by following the path in reverse order, or just drop into one of the trapdoors that leads to where the King of the Red Lions is.
*
Once you're outside the prison again, go up the ramp and through the archway. There are several side content you can check out in this side of the island. Let's visit the Squid Hunt minigame first!

Enter the building right across the archway and talk to "Admiral Dolvalski" to play the minigame.
*
In this game, you need to guess the tiles where the three squids are hiding and use the cannonballs to hit all the parts of their bodies. You'll get rare items for your first and second win, as well as a bonus for defeating the squids with 5 or more shots remaining.

1st win: Piece of Heart
2nd win: Treasure Chart #7
>20 cannonballs used: Treasure Chart #23

*
Next, go back outside and enter the schoolhouse just across the Squid Hunt minigame. Talk to Mrs. Marie twice and she'll tell you about the mischievous group of kids outside and ask you to talk some sense to them.
*
Remember those kids circling around you? Talk to their leader, Ivan, and accept the Killer Bees' Hide-and-Seek challenge. You need to find and catch all four members within Windfall Island to win and earn their respect. You'll also get the Piece of Heart from Ivan!

You can then get a Joy Pendant by rolling into the tree near the Bomb Shop.

*
For our next stop, visit Lenzo in the building west of the Squid Hunt minigame. A dialogue will automatically start if you entered with the Picto Box on your person. He will let you look around his collection of pictographs in the second floor.
*
Head upstairs and check each of Lenzo's pictographs to proceed. After seeing all of the pictographs and letting Lenzo tell a story about each of them, go back downstairs and wait for Lenzo.

At this point, you can talk to Lenzo and agree to work for him by taking specific pictographs in Windfall Island. Take all three pictographs for Lenzo and he will reward you with a Joy Pendant (GameCube) or Deluxe Picto Box (HD)! You'll have to come back later for the Deluxe Picto Box in the GameCube version.

3
That should be all in Windfall Island for now! You can continue the main story by heading north from Lenzo's and speaking with the man named Zunari at the stall. He'll talk about an item he refers to as "that". Purchase "that" for 80 Rupees to obtain the Boat Sail.
4
Return to the King of Red Lions with the sail and head out to the Great Sea!
