The main objective of the Bird-Man Contest is to fly using [[Link]]'s [[Deku Leaf]] from the starting platform to a specific point in the ocean that serves as the finish line. Normally, the distance is so great that Link must have a doubled [[Magic Meter]] to even come close to the finish line, but there are some exceptions if he uses the [[Tingle Tuner]]. Strategically using the whirlwinds across the ocean and using the direction of the wind to his advantage, Link can win a [[Piece of Heart]]. | The main objective of the Bird-Man Contest is to fly using [[Link]]'s [[Deku Leaf]] from the starting platform to a specific point in the ocean that serves as the finish line.

Obtaining the [[Piece of Heart]] is a little luck-based, and can require a couple tries to get. The best strategy is to fly in a straight line, as turning to hit the updrafts makes you lose speed and magic fast. Your best bet is to try and time your trajectory to intersect with the updrafts. You can also repeatedly equip and de-equip the [[Deku Leaf]] to go slightly faster, at the cost of some height. | |||
However, there are a few glitches that lets you skip the minigame entirely. One of them involves glitching outside of the area using bombs. Place a bomb by the fence next to the ladder and perform a jump attack just as it explodes to launch yourself down to the lower platform. This will make your magic meter drain instantly. Without getting into the water, jump directly into the boat and sail to the finish line (ignore the musical hit that plays once you start sailing). Arrive at the finish line and stop here. If you jump out of your boat you will be disqualified, so play the Song of Passing to reset the map and then jump into the water. This will prompt the victory cutscene and reward you with the [[Piece of Heart]]. | |||
