Forest Haven Walkthrough
Great Sea
| 1 |  Return to the King of Red Lions and play the Wind's Requiem and control the wind's direction so that it would blow south. |
|---|---|
| 2 | As you exit the island's square on the map, a talking fish will appear and add the Dragon Roost Island to your Sea Chart. It will also advise you to throw some All-Purpose Bait for its brethren that you come across while sailing, as they will also help you fill the Sea Chart. |
| * |  Before you cross the sea to the next island, play the Wind's Requiem again and make the winds blow west to prepare for a short detour. Sail to the E2 square and look for a group of islands shaped like a paw, called Pawprint Isle. Dock on the island and cut the grass at the base of the blue "bean" to find an opening. Crawl through it and drop down the hole inside. |
| * |  The room ahead has some Red Chuchus you can get Red Chu Jellies from, which you can use to concoct potions later. Turn right and follow the tunnel to find a chest containing the Piece of Heart! |
| * |  Back in the large central room of this underground cavern, you can use your Grappling Hook to climb up the wooden pegs on the wall until you reach a chest containing 20 Rupees. If your wallet is full, there's no need to get this chest. Simply return to the area you fell from, then step into the light to return to the surface. |
| * |  While the wind's still blowing west, why not revisit Windfall Island to check how things are going there! Return to Red and set sail to the next square west of Pawprint Isle to reach Windfall Island. Go to the the hilltop in front of the prison and talk to the dancing guy named Tott. Follow his lead with the Wind Waker and input ▶, ◀, ▼, to learn the Song of Passing. ▶ All Wind Waker Songs |
| * |  Go to the other side of the island and enter the Potion Shop. You can purchase a Red Potion here with the Red Chu Jelly you picked up earlier plus some Rupees. Next door is the Auction House. It's recommended to only participate in the auction later on once you've expanded your wallet, but if you're playing the HD version of the game, you can try to get at least the Swift Sail to boost Red's speed. ▶ How to Get a Bigger Wallet |
| * |  You can talk to Zunari on the left side of his stall to obtain the Town Flower item, which marks the start of the Trading Sequence quest. No need to worry about this for now, though. If you don't mind decorating the island with only Town Flowers, you can do the Joy Pedestal side quest. Purchase more Town Flowers from Zunari by talking to him on the right side of his stall, then place these Town Flowers on all 14 outdoor pedestals on Windfall island. Talk to the man on the bench surrounded by 3 pedestals to receive a Piece of Heart as a reward. |
| * |  Before you set sail again, check the postbox near the docks. It should be wobbling now, indicating that you got a mail inside. Check to see a letter from Baito's mom with another Piece of Heart attached! This reward is from sending Baito's letter through the postbox. So if you've done this and the postbox here isn't moving, you might need to wait for a few more days, or you can simply play the Song of Passing to speed up the cycle! |
| 3 |  When you're ready to go, sail back to F2 (where Dragon Roost Island is) and start sailing south to F6. You won't be allowed to stray from this path. You will also come across a submarine and a raft along the way (around F5). You can board this submarine to find monsters inside. Take out all the Bokoblins to reveal a chest containing an Empty Bottle. ▶ Sea Chart: All Islands in the Great Sea |
Forest Haven
| 1 |  Once you get to Forest Haven, the King of Red Lions will ask you to talk to the Great Deku Tree and get Farore's Pearl. Go up the slope to meet the welcoming committee: a group of Boko Baba! You can pull Boko Baba Seeds from them by using your Grappling Hook or defeat them. To fight them, use a jump attack by targeting them and pressing A, which will expose their stem. Then, use a horizontal slice with B to defeat them. ▶ All Controls for Every Version |
|---|---|
| 2 |  At the top, in front of the two waterfalls, look above you to find a pole and use it to swing across with the Grappling Hook. Make sure to land on the grassy area, otherwise you'll be swept away down the waterfall. |
| 3 |  Look to your right as you land and prepare to put your shield up using R or ZR. The River Octorok here will shoot a rock at you which you can easily deflect and knock the Octorok out. Hop on the platform on your left with the Boko Baba then to the right next to where the Octorok was. |
| 4 |  Before you swing ahead, wait for the other River Octorok to shoot a rock and deflect it so you can cross safely. Go through the passage to your right to enter Forest Haven. |
| 5 |  Follow the stream to the right until you are standing before the giant tree in the middle. It's the Deku Tree! Help it shake off the Chu Chu on its face by rolling into the tree then defeat the Chu Chu before they climb back up again. |
| 6 |  Korok Ceremony time! Gotta grab that Farore's Pearl fast before anything that requires our attention suddenly happens! Ok, making a short trip to the Forbidden Woods works too. Look for a bulb plant called Baba Bud beside the Deku Tree and hop inside it. |
| 7 |  The Baba Bud will launch you upwards after a few seconds. Before the launch, you can tilt the joystick to the direction where you want to land on. To start, use the Baba Buds to reach the top of the small tree with a Korok, behind the Deku Tree. From there, look up to find a pole then use the Grappling Hook to reach the next set of Baba Buds. The next platform you'll land on will be where the Deku Leaf is. |
| 8 |  You now have the ability to glide and blow gusts of wind with the Deku Leaf! Look below and test your gliding ability by equipping the Deku Leaf and gliding towards ledge where the Korok is. Follow the passage ahead to go back outside. |
| 9 |  Walk to the end of the ledge and play the Wind's Requiem to make the wind blow southwest. With the Deku Leaf, glide over to the small island with a cyclone circling around it. You can replenish your Magic Meter here by getting Magic Jars from cutting the grass. |
| 10 |  On the platform, play the Wind's Requiem again and change the wind direction to northwest. You'll have to time your next jump so that you fly directly into the cyclone, which will boost you high enough so you can glide towards the entrance of the Forbidden Woods. ▶ Forbidden Woods Walkthrough |
