Dragon Roost Pond

The Dragon Roost Pond is a location from The Wind Waker.

Overview

The Dragon Roost Pond is a body of water that separates the Rito Aerie to the entrance of the Dragon Roost Cavern. At the start of the game, due to the monsters in Dragon Roost Cavern disturbing Valoo, a rock storm occurred, causing a massive boulder to block up the water geyser that usually supplies water to the Pond. The Pond has almost completely dried up and with a very hot and arid climate, nothing is growing, including the Bomb Flowers that usually populate the region.[1]

When Link arrives, after delivering Father's Letter to Prince Komali, he will be joined here by Medli. Medli wants to reach the Dragon Roost Cavern so that she can try to calm down Valoo. However, the bridge is broken and there is no water to swim across. Link can play the Wind's Requiem, or simply wait until the wind is blowing towards the Dragon Roost Cavern. When that is happening, Link can pickup Medli, stand on the large rock, and toss her, allowing her to reach the other ledge. As a thanks for helping her, Medli will reward Link with an empty Bottle.

Link is then able to use that Bottle to scoop up what little is left of the Water, surrounding the larger boulder. After climbing up the initial broken bridge, Link can drop this water on one of the dried up flowers, which will cause a Bomb Flower to grow. Link can then grab a bomb flower and toss it at the large boulder. Exploding the boulder will cause water to fill up the Pond, which in turn allows Link to swim across and reach the entrance to Dragon Roost Cavern.

In addition to the primary entrance, there is a secondary balcony that overlooks the Dragon Roost Pond. Link can reach this balcony by heading outside from the Rito Aerie along the second floor in the room where Medli is first met. Once outside, Link can meet Bisht who is guarding the entrance and overlooking the Dragon Roost Pond. After Link has cleared Dragon Roost Cavern, Bisht comments that it might be time to start repairing the bridge.[2]
