The Wind Waker starts by telling the tale of [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] and the [[The Great Flood|Great Flood]]. After [[Ganondorf]] is defeated, the Hero of Time disappears, never to be seen again. When evil rose, no one was present to face it, and [[Hyrule]] was flooded by the goddesses to protect its people.   We learn that on a certain island, when a boy comes of age, he is garbed in the clothing of the Hero of Time. Our story begins on [[Link]]'s birthday, his coming of age. After a mysterious bird, called the [[Helmaroc King]], drops a girl into the island's forest, it snatches his sister, [[Aryll]], off a bridge and flies away with her. The girl from the forest is named [[Tetra]] and she captains a pirate ship. Link catches a ride as a swabby while the pirates sail to the [[Forsaken Fortress]], the lair of the bird. Link is shot out of a catapult into the fortress, and makes his way up it, having to retrieve his sword which he lost when he was launched at the fortress. But when he reaches the top, he's thrown off and into the water by the Helmaroc King, but is saved by [[The King of Red Lions]], a talking boat. He agrees to help Link on his quest to save his sister and stop the ressurected Ganondorf. Link finds the 3 Pearls of the Goddesses, which raise the [[Tower of the Gods]]- a tower designed by the gods to prove the worthiness of heroes. Inside, Link proves his worth and is able to go below the [[Great Sea]] to the submerged [[Hyrule Castle]]. Inside, everything is frozen in time. Link pulls the [[Master Sword]] from its pedestal in a hidden chamber beneath a statue of the [[Hero of Time]], and time begins to flow again in the castle. He goes back to the Forsaken Fortress to save his sister and confront the evil Ganondorf. He sets his sister free, and defeats the Helmaroc King. At the top he confronts Ganondorf in his chamber, but learns that the Master Sword has lost its power to vanquish evil, and the dragon, Valoo, from [[Dragon Roost Island]] saves him and Tetra, who appeared at the fortress to help, before Ganondorf could defeat them. Link and Tetra return to the submerged Hyrule Castle, and they learn the King of Red Lions is controlled by the King of Hyrule. Using a missing piece of Tetra's necklace, she is learned to have been a descendant of [[Princess Zelda]], and controls the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. Link goes to awaken the Earth and Wind Sages, who restore the Master Sword back to its original strength. Link then finds the shattered pieces of the [[Triforce of Courage]] hidden by the Hero of Time after the conclusion of Ocarina of Time. He then returns to the submerged Hyrule and infiltrates Ganon's Tower to find Zelda and then confront Ganondorf with the restored Master Sword and the Light Arrows. The King of Hyrule appears and touches the newly regathered Triforce saying he wishes the old Hyrule to be drowned in the water, along with Ganondorf. The Triforce appeals to this wish, and as water slowly begins to rain down upon them, Link defeats Ganondorf by thrusting the Master Sword threw his forehead - turning him to stone. The two then float in bubbles to the surface leaving behind Ganondorf's remains, the Master Sword and The King of Hyrule.

Story

Spoiler Alert! This article describes a subject that is sensitive to plot development.

The Wind Waker begins by telling the tale of Ocarina of Time. After defeating Ganondorf, the Hero of Time left the land to find his companion in the distant land of Termina. When Ganondorf later escaped from his prison, the people of Hyrule expected the Hero to return, but he never came back. The citizens prayed to the Gods for help from this terrible evil.

Hundreds of years pass and the story continues on the small of Outset Island, located on the Great Sea. On this particular island there is a tradition that when young boys reach the age of the Hero of Time, they were the same clothing as the Hero did. This tradition holds true for a young boy named Link's birthday, when his Grandmother present him with the garb to wear for the remainder of the day.

After donning the famous clothes, a gigantic bird flies across the island, dropping a girl into the forest high on top of the island. After finding a sword, Link manages to find and save the girl, known as Tetra. Link's sister Aryll meets him high on the island, and as she is walking across a bridge the bird reappears, snatching her and flying off to the Forsaken Fortress.

Dedicated to finding his sister, Link joins Tetra and her Pirate Crew, who sail to the Forsaken Fortress. After making his way through the Fortress and unsuccessfully saving his sister, Link is thrown off the Fortress back into the Ocean.

A talking boat named the King of Red Lions later finds Link and takes him to Windfall Island. Link and the boat discuss Ganondorf, the man who controls the Forsaken Fortress. He is the same evil spoken of in the legends of Hyrule, and they agree to help each in saving Aryll and defeating the resurrected Ganondorf. After finding a Sail from one of the merchants, Link and the King head off to Dragon Roost Island.

After destroying an evil monster plaguing the island, Link is presented with Din's Pearl, the first of 3 Pearls needed to raise the Tower of the Gods. Soon after, Link saves a Korok named Makar from certain death, and finds the deity Jabun, obtaining the second and third pearls.

Link then places the three pearls on three different island on the Great Sea, which reveals the Tower of the Gods. After making his way up the Tower and completing the Goddess's test of courage, Link finds and uses a bell which opens the path to the floor of the Great Sea. Here Link finds the ancient ruins of Hyrule and Hyrule Castle, which is in a perpetual state of black and white, where time has stopped moving.

Link pulls the Master Sword from is pedestal, restarting the time inside the Castle. Link then makes his way back to the Forsaken Fortress to face off with Ganondorf once again. Ganondorf reveals that pulling the Master Sword out of its pedestal released his powers, making him stronger than ever. Tetra and Link are then saved by Valoo, who drop him off at the Tower of the Gods. Tetra, who is now revealed to be Princess Zelda, stays in chamber of Hyrule Castle until Ganondorf is defeated.
