Shark Island
Games | ||
Shark Island is one of the many islands scattered throughout the Great Sea in The Wind Waker. The island itself is shaped like a shark, thus its namesake, and is located three squares west from Forest Haven. On the island lives the Korok, Irch, where he has chosen to plant his new forest from the seeds of the Great Deku Tree. Cyclos is also found around this island, and if Link shoots him while being trapped by his cyclone, he will teach him the Ballad of Gales.[1] This island is also one of the islands that houses the rare Blue ChuChu, however it is on a high, hard to reach spot on the island.
Hidden Cave
On this island is a secret cave that is surrounded by fire. Scattered around the island are four switches that are used to open the entrance to the cave by putting out the fire blocking it. However, Link cannot hit all of the switches as soon as he finds the island. Two of the switches require certain items to press them down: the Iron Boots and the Skull Hammer. Once Link is inside the cave, Bokoblins, Miniblins, Moblins, Darknuts, and Wizzrobes will be waiting for whomever enters the cave. If Link defeats them all, a treasure chest will appear holding 200 Rupees.
Blue ChuChu
After activating all four of the switches on this island quickly, an updraft will appear in the sea around you. Head to the "tail" of the Shark Island where the iron Boots switch is. Play the Wind's Requiem and change the wind to blow south-east. You must glide to the updraft in your site but you must fight the wind to get to it. Jump and get out your Deku Leaf to float in the air. Do your best to get into the updraft, and after catching it, head for the highest point of the island. The wind will help you to glide there now. Once you land safely on the top of the island you can fight the Blue ChuChu who is waiting there.

Could be just a rumor. Boy, if you had that power, you wouldn't have to spend so much time sailing back and forth across the sea all the time. Wouldn't that be nice, fry? But let me tell you, there's no way he'll give up his power easily! You can't get near the guy, so you'll have to figure out how to shoot him from a distance. Don't you have a weapon that can pierce things from a distance? You know, fffwip? FFFWIP, I tell you! You get my point, fry?!" — Fishman, The Wind Waker.
