		To the west of here, over on Dragon Roost Island, you'll see all kinds of rocks. Big ones, little ones...you get the picture. Anyway, they say that long ago, there used to be treasure hidden inside those things. Who knows? There may still be some left, so you should open your eyes and take a good look around...from as high-up as the sun to as low-down as your toes!

		The Rito people have always held contests in that area.

The Flight Control Platform is the site of a mini-game in The Wind Waker. It is located one square east of Dragon Roost Island. This location is really only a structure made of wood coming out from the ocean, but it is considered an island. On the platform are two human brothers named Obli and Willi who run the Bird-Man Contest. Around the island is a submarine, and if all the monsters inside it are defeated it reveals the Platform Chart. This island is also the location the treasure marked on Treasure Chart #19.

The Contest

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. An alternative strategy would be to continue equipping and unequipping the Deku Leaf as Link glides, as it does not waste magic, and pushes Link slightly farther and higher.

Submarine

One of the Submarines can be found south of the Platform. Defeat the Wizzrobes, Red ChuChus, Green ChuChus and Miniblins to be rewarded with the Platform Chart. The Miniblins keep coming at Link until all of the Wizzrobes are defeated.
