| - Now that you have a sail, you can make your way around the Great Sea with ease. You can also access your Sea Chart at any time by pressing up on the D-Pad, that's the one under the control stick. With that in mind, get on the King of Red Lions and turn right, pulling out your sail. Make your way around the island until you're heading east, the direction that the arrow behind you is pointing. You should see a mountain in the distance. |

- Crawl out of the dome and look around the island, you should notice a small submarine to the east of the island. Get on the King of Red Lions and sail to the boat and speak with the lone guy on the boat. He'll give you Treasure Chart #34 and tell you that a Grappling Hook would be perfect to haul up treasure.
- Continue towards Dragon Roost, stopping at the raft along the way to kill the Pink Bokoblin for an extra Joy Pendant. I'd recommend stopping whenever you see a raft to kill the Bokoblin and collect the Joy Pendant.

| - Just like a Green or Blue Bokoblin except they lack an item with which to fight. They carry around a telescope and try to kick Link. |

- Head to Dragon Roost and once you're within reach the King of Red Lions will exclaim that you've arrived. The spirit of the skies, Valoo, sits atop the mountain's peak. The King of Red Lions will give you the Wind Waker when you disembark and teach you how to play it.
|
 - Valoo is the Sky Spirit and protector of the Rito. He speaks only in the ancient Hylian language, and is the one who grants the Rito their wings. |

|
|
| - Head up the platform to the left and go inside the doorway at the top. The chieftain will speak with another Rito and offers to help you... after they deal with their own problem that is.

Delivery Bag |
Dragon Roost Island |

- He asks you to meet his son so that they can deal with their problem and help you. The chieftain then departs and Quill approaches you, giving you the Delivery Bag. Head up the ramp to the left and go into the first room to the left. Speak with the girl you find inside, her name is Medli. She is studying to be an attendant to Valoo and gives you Father's Letter and asks you to meet her at the entrance to Dragon Roost later. Head back down the ramp and go down through the hallway and down the first door to the left. Enter the door at the end to speak with Prince Komali.

- He'll reward you one rupee for every two letters you sort if you sort less than ten letters, one rupee per letter if you sort less than twenty, and two rupees per letter if you sort less that 25.

- Give Komali his Father's Letter and he'll get mad at you for being a nosy person. He doesn't want to go see Valoo and tells you that if you brave the path to Valoo he'll believe anything you say.
- Head back to the upper level and continue around until you find Koboli, the Rito in charge of the mail, sorting letters. Speak with him and he'll tell you he's looking for someone to help part-time. Tell him you are there to help and he'll ask you to sort letters for him, rewarding you with rupees for every letter you sort.

|
| - Head back downstairs and go through the doorway with a guard posted next to it. Once outside, head left and jump down where the bridge has broken. Speak with Medli and she'll ask you to help her. When she's finished talking, pick her up and stand on the small ramp behind you.
- Pay attention to how the ashes are moving and throw Medli when it is blowing toward the other side of the bridge. She'll tell you she'll be able to climb Dragon Roost from here and gives you an empty bottle in return for you helping her out. |

Blowing up the rock |
|
Getting a bomb into the pot |
|
|
- Get out your bottle and bottle some water from near the rock. Climb the segment of broken ladder back up to where you entered the area and pour the water on one of the red plants to make it sprout into a bomb flower.
- This part can be a little tricky. You need to throw the bomb to the rock to blow it up without having the bomb land in the water. You can try to land the bomb on the rock, or try and time it correctly. Once you blow it up water will fill the area and you can swim across and climb up the other side.
- This is another tricky part. Pick up a bomb flower and try to throw it into the pot that the statue is holding. Be careful not to fall into the lava though, because you'll be burnt and sent back to the doorway you came in through.
- Blow up the statue on the right first so that it falls into the lava. Then grab a bomb flower and jump to the newly created platform to throw the bomb into the second statue's pot. Once you finish enter Dragon Roost Cavern through the doorway. |

| - Keese are small, bat like creatures. They fly around and only come in close when they are about to attack. The easiest way to kill them is with the boomerang or arrows |
|
- Head straight down this hallway and hit the wooden planks with your sword to break them. Turn left and walk along the wooden path. You don't have a key to unlock the door you see, so jump the gap and keep going.
- You'll notice that the next gap you come to is way to large, but there's no ledge to sidle across. Jump down onto the small column and pull out the block. Climb on it and hop across to the other part of the path.
- Wait for the column of fire to disappear before jumping across to the bridge and quickly make your way across while avoiding the Keese.
- Grab a bomb flower from the end of the bridge and throw it at the rock while avoiding the rocks that fall form the ceiling. Head through the doorway.
- Grab one of the large pots with drops of water on the side and throw it to towards the east of the room. This will solidify a portion of the lave and allow you to jump across to get the map from the chest. Grab another pot and throw it south so that you can get across to the southern part of the room.
- Avoid the Red ChuChu that jumps down, then climb the ladder to go through the door. |

- This part can be a bit tricky. You have to pick up a jar or a rock and throw it to hit one of the bombs on the wall, either one will do. If you run out of things to throw, go through the door and come back out.
- Once you manage to blow it up, cross the plank and jump up to the wooden path. Go through the locked door straight ahead and you'll emerge in a hallway.
- Since we can't go right, go straight, killing all the ChuChus that appear along the way. Break the wooden panel with your sword and kill the Bokoblin that attacks.
- Pick up the stick he drops and light it on fire with the torch. Burn down the other panel and step on the switch inside it to raise the bars over the doorway.
- Pick up the pot and run across the ladder, throwing it at the Bokoblin when he attacks. If the Bokoblin doesn't fall off the edge, kill it then climb the ladder.

|
| - Climb up onto the small ledge, then up a second ledge to find a bomb flower. Pick it up and head across the wooden part to throw is so that it blows up the rock. Jump down and head through the door.
- Pull the bottom block in the middle out, then the bottom one from the left or right go get up and through the hole. There will be a bunch or rats in here, so kill them and make your way to the block in the wall.
- The King of Red Lions will tell you that if you spread bait near their nest, they'll share their treasure with you.
- Pull out the block and climb up, opening the chest at the top for the compass. Grab a stick and light it with the torch, then face the wooden planks on the far side of the room and throw the stick to light them on fire.
- Climb the ladder and grab the small key from inside the chest. Open the door on the opposite side of the room and head outside. |

Drop down and look to the left, grapple your way across all of these and head through the door you find at the end. |
- Grab the bomb flower to the right and blow up the rock to reveal a pot. Pick up the bomb flower again and blow up the other rock to reveal a door that you can go through.
- Run up the stairs and keep running, the stairs crumble away as you step on them. Head through the doorway at the top and you'll see Medli, guarded by two Bokoblins.
- Defeat the bokoblins and a kargaroc will drop a moblin in on you. Kill it as well, but be careful in doing so, they can be a dangerous enemy. Break the orb that it will drop and collect the Skull Necklace from it, as well as anything else that pops out.

Gohma coming out of the lava |
|
Threat:
|
Attacks:
Hits you with a claw
Slams you with claw
Breaths fire |
- Gohma is a nasty creature that has been dwelling inside Dragon Roost Cavern. She has been tormenting the Great Valoo by pulling on his tail.
- The battle will begin and you will notice that Valoo's tail is dangling up above the pit of Lava. If you use the Grappling Hook, you can latch onto his tail. This will make him angry and he'll stomp around up above the room. He'll knock down a piece of the ceiling that will fall on top of Gohma, cracking her armor.
- It's easiest if you can land on to the top of the room on one of the platforms so that you don't have to worry about Gohma attacking you. If you stay on the bottom, Gohma may try and raise one of her claws to strike you with. After dropping the stone on top of Gohma three times, she will become angry and destroy it, along with her own armor.
- Now that Gohma is vulnerable, use your Grappling Hook to pull her eye over to you and attack it. Alternatively you can dodge her attacks with her claws and attack her eye when she lowers her face. If you do it this way though you have to be quick, as she will try and breathe fire at you while you're trapped between her claws. A few hits to her eye and she will be defeated. The lava will burn her leaving you with a Heart Container. Collect it and step into the wind swirling in the center of the room to return to Dragon Roost Island.

Summary:
- When the battle starts, it appears that Gohma is invincible. If you look up, you can see Valoo's tail dangling into the room. Grapple the end of it and swing on it, letting go on the other side. This will anger Valoo and he will stomp around, dropping a piece of rock onto Gohma. Do this two more times and Gohma will destroy the rock, along with her armor.
- Now you have to use your Grappling Hook to pull Gohma's eye towards you. Once her eye is in front of you, attack it with the sword. Repeat this until she dies, leaving a heart container behind for you to collect.

|
| - Valoo will calm down and the ashes from the volcano will disappear. When you return to land Medli will be there to greet you, along with Komali. Komali thanks you and apologizes for mistrusting you and hopes to someday be like you. He will also give you Din's Pearl.
- Medli tells you that Valoo is grateful to you, and Valoo says something in Hylian that you can't understand. Medli translates it for you and tells you to visit the Wind Shrine and that Valoo names you a true hero. Komali leaves to go visit Valoo and Medli follows him. |
