The Swift Sail is an item that appears in the HD remake of The Wind Waker. It is an upgrade to the original Sail that is available later in the game.[2][3] Just like the normal sail, it allows Link to travel across the Great Sea on the King of Red Lions. However, the Swift Sail moves the boat a lot faster and is always filled with wind, so Link does not have to play the Wind's Requiem to make the wind face where he is going.[1] Although it is similar in appearance to the original sail, the design on it is red instead of blue.
According to Eiji Aonuma, the boat could not go any faster in the original Nintendo GameCube version due to the fact that the world could not load quickly enough to keep up with it, but the Wii U's advanced power makes it possible.[4]
