Sturgeon's One-Point Lessons are tutorials on some of the basic game mechanics in The Wind Waker.
Overview
On Outset Island, Link will meet up with Sturgeon, who can initially be seen standing outside on the top floor of Orca and Sturgeon's House. When Link draws near, Sturgeon will speak with him, giving him an introduction on Z-Targeting.[1][2] He laters tells Link that this isn't the only piece of advise he has to give, encouraging Link to climb up the ladder and enter his home to learn more.[3][4]
On the second floor of the house, there are numerous notes lined on the wall. These notes all serve as short pieces of information on some of the basic game control mechanics.[5][6][7]
In The Wind Waker HD, all but one lesson are unchanged, with one differing due to the control differences regarding the in-game sailing map of the GameCube version and the Wii U GamePad in the Wii U version.

Of course, even if there isn't anything around to target, you can press [L] to face forward, you know. It's quite handy, indeed. There are a myriad of other ways to use [L]-targeting, as well. Quite an ingenious little thing, if I do say so myself!" — Sturgeon, The Wind Waker.
- ↑ "That [L]-targeting you just did has a wide range of uses, my boy! Most certainly! For instance, you can use it to talk to far-off people, or if there isn't anyone to target, you can use it to face forward quickly. It's quite ingenious, I should say!" — Sturgeon, The Wind Waker.

- ↑ "If you desire the benefits of my wisdom, I can teach you many other things. Just climb up that ladder over there and come see me in my room for some expert tutelage." — Sturgeon, The Wind Waker.
- ↑ "You're growing up, [Link], which means you're going to need as much wisdom as you can get from this point forward! And if you want to be wise, you must first know things! Now, I was born before you, so I know all sorts of things. Yes, I've been studying all manner of topics for many years now. Now, I can tell you're a smart lad... Lately, I've been thinking it's time for me to pass some of my wisdom down, and I think you're the one I'm going to pass it down to... Count yourself lucky, lad!" — Sturgeon, The Wind Waker.

Organizational issues aside, however, it's all extremely useful information. You would do well to read it all very carefully. Reading leads to knowing, you know!" — Sturgeon, The Wind Waker.
- ↑ "You're a smart lad, [Link]. You'll find that everything I've written down and tacked to my walls will be very useful in life. A lifetime of knowledge, all for you! You just be sure to take the time to read it all through very carefully. If you don't, you'll surely end up like that useless hooligan of a little brother of mine who lives downstairs." — Sturgeon, The Wind Waker.
