How to Activate the Ferris Wheel

Play the Wind's Requiem and step on a panel to activate the ferris wheel in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Read on to learn how to activate the ferris wheel on Windfall Island and the things you can check out after turning it on!

How to Activate the Ferris Wheel

Change the Wind Direction

1
Go behind the ferris wheel and climb the ladder. You can find this near the main road and is found behind the Squid Hunt Mini Game building.

Do note that you need to complete Dragon Roost Island to learn the song required to activate the wheel, so you cannot do this early on.
2
Equip your Wind Waker and play the Wind's Requiem. Change the wind direction so that it blows northwards.
3
After changing the direction of the wind, step on the panel.
4
The ferris wheel will be activated! You can ride the gondolas by entering the Squid Hunt Mini Game building and going up the second floor.

You can activate the ferris wheel found on Windfall Island once you change the direction of the wind and step on the wheel's panel.

What To Do After Activating Ferris Wheel

Light the Lighthouse

Light the Lighthouse

Activating the ferris wheel will let you reach the lighthouse found on top of the same building. You can launch a Fire Arrow to light the torch inside, where you can get two Heart Pieces as a reward, one from Kreeb and one from a treasure chest found on a nearby island.

How to Light the Lighthouse

Reach Second Floor of Lenzo's Gallery

Reaching Lenzo

Riding the ferris wheel all the way through the other side will also let you reach the second floor of Lenzo's gallery, who gives you the pictograph quest. You can jump on the roof when you reach the other side, jump down on the porch, then head inside.

You can find two treasure chests in this room, with one containing Treasure Chart 29, along with Lenzo and Minenco. You can take a picture of the two to get Treasure Chart 24.
