WW's Islands that had no Purpose.

[Hero Of Termina]

I found an Island that just has a castle tower? Was that something left from beta? Did you ever find this Island? Or is something wrong with my game? >.>

Do you know the name of the island?
So far as i know, every island has his purpose, from big to litle purposes.

But if you talk about a castle tower (the one thats out of stone), then yeah it has a purpose. i don 't remember the name of the island but, you can hookshot on trees there until you find a grotto and a blue chu chu. if i'm not mistaken in that grotto is a triforce chart.

Or do you mean a other castle tower?

[Hero Of Termina]

I don't know the name of the island, in fact, there was no fish that were swimming around there so i could'nt find the name. There were no trees, just the tower.

[Josh]

Most islands that I've found do have a purpose, some are just there to accompany another one, such with Child island because I've found there is a Blue Chu. But I'd have to look around more.

About the stone castle, the only one I've found is one with two islands connected by a bridge, and that one even has a guy on it.

[Hero Of Termina]

The Islands near Windfall but it only appeard to me a couple of times, I've got to explore more.

[Skull_Kid]

it is indeed the Hookshotable one... it is part of the triforce quest and of the blue chuchu mini quest

[Smitie]

the islands shaped like the side of a dice. they were useless.

[Skull_Kid]

LOLOZ, They got you wondering for the first time, i think xD

[kpllk]

If you can find out the name then I will tell you more about it. One day I went to every island and put it on my map. It must have a name because I have a name for every island and every square on my map. Look a little harder for the fish.

[owenshev]

There are actually Sea Charts on the dots of the Dice Reefs. You have to play a song to make it appear and then float onto the island with the deku leaf.

[The evil man]

I think I- I mean he has to find the name of the island.

[Axle the Beast]

I think I found the island you're talking about. Just a stone tower sticking out of the water, right?

I never figured out what to do there. But there had to have been something. All the islands had some purpose, even if it wasn't one of much significance.

[kpllk]

A lot of Islands were almost useless. But on most of them, you can either get a blue chu-chu or a piece of heart. Almost useless stuff.

[Master94]

Every island is usefull.

expect those with some stone towers whith annoying birds.

[Petman1325]

Yeah, I remember one island, I forgot the name, but it was the one with the cave and a good amount of switches. Once they're pressed down, you may enter the cave. After you get in there, there are 3 dragon heads. They open up, and there is a good 5 minutes of pressing nothing but B and L! I'm impressed my Wii lost some frames in there! It was fun until the armored guys came around. Taking on 6 isn't fun!

EDIT: I remembered the name of the island. It is Shark Island.

[Master Kokiri 9]

hmmm no trees just a tower... how big was it? If it's gigantic than you're refering to the tower of the gods which is the third dungeon and also where the path to the master sword is.

[Clucluclu]

Where was it on the map? Was it North? West? Center? Southeast? near Forest Haven? etc.

[Brandikins]

Not sure what you are talking about. Every island has a purpose. Even the Star Belt Achipelago, whatever it's called has one. Even though it has no land, it has the Ghost Ship and a treasure. Every sector on the great sea has a treaure from a chart. So yeah, every last island has something, big or small.

[Neo]

On the contrary, they each hold a treasure chart. You destroy all of the cannons to make a chest appear on one of the circular structures which represent the numbers on the die. You would fly to this with the deku leaf, and then you'd receive a treasure chart. Each of the six dice islands has one.

As for what the OP says, I can only think of the Tower of the Gods and the island in the far northeast.
More details, please?

[Okamiguy17]

Well, I didn't really enjoy sailing for five hours then find an island that is pointless, although I do love that game!

Where is this island, do you know? I'd very much like to check it out and see if I can find out more about it.

As for useless islands: I know of none. They all had a purpose, be it big or small, as far as I can remember.

[Dabombster]

I believe the island he is referring to is Iron Island. And actually, it's one of the islands you absolutely must visit in order to complete the game. You acquire a Triforce Chart here after you destroy the cannons and get inside the actual tower/island.

As previously stated, every island holds something. There are 41 Treasure Charts total in the game, and 8 Triforce Charts, making a total of 49 that you can pull stuff up from. The Great Sea in Wind Waker is laid out in a 7 x 7 grid, making 49 total islands. Each Chart leads to a treasure on one specific island, and no chart leads to a treasure on the same island as another one does.

[Link Master]

Dabomster I never realized that. I think all islands are useful for hearts or potion or treasure and maybe a blue chu-chu. I do not think there are any islands that are just there for being there.

[Silva Sniper]

Silly all islands are useful!Of course they are,why would they be in the game.

[Zarom]

An island where there is no fish swimming? I think it is the Tower of the Gods. Or maybe it's the Islet of Steel. Yeah. It has too be one of these two. And they are both essential to beat the game. One is a dungeon and the other has a triforce chart. ;)

[DesertDweller]

If I remember correctly, that one square with the two rito pilot training ground guys doesn't HAVE an island technically.

I would consider that place unimportant, and not really an island...

But I think all the X-eyed isles were boring places.

[Sparky]

Or, if it's none of the above, there is an island not too far off the Isle of Steel that has a tallish kind of tower, if i remember correctly, but that one may have trees, I can't remember....

Anyways, for that one you have to abuse a seagull into hitting a switch at the top to lower the flame barrier around the chest.....or hole.......maybe.

[Dragon Tamer]

I thought some islands had no reason to be there. But, then again if they didn't have that area, then there would be a big square hole in the ocean. That would be bad. I would probably fall in it because that's how I am. I wonder where that would lead though. AH! I'm making another topic. My bad. But yeah, some islands were kinda not important.

[Enraikou]

the islands shaped like the side of a dice. they were useless.
they arent useless, destroy all the pirates boats and cannons that are in the wall that will make a chest appers , inside that chest there is a treasure chart and the treasure of this treasure chart is a map that can show all the places of pieces of hearts ,etc

[rnddim]

As far as I know, not every island is essential to complete the game, yet they are all essential if one wishes to get 100% game completion.

[jebus_thecatman]

I think it may be Needle point Isle

You have to get rid of the annoying 'baaaaa'ing birds then hit a switch to get a heart piece
and
A chunk of ice needs to be melted, then you light all the torches

Hope that helps!

[jebus_thecatman]
