The Wind Waker

Games	The Wind Waker
Location	Received from the King of Red Lions
Uses	Conduct Songs

The Wind Waker is an item found only in The Wind Waker. It is an ancient conductor's baton with magical powers. It can control the power of the wind, change the time of day, and even create gales to warp you to places around the Great Sea.

It is given to Link by the King of Red Lions when he first lands on the shores of Dragon Roost Island. It's used many times throughout his journey, and is one of the primary items in the game.

How to Play

Link can use the Wind Waker almost anywhere. It typically conducts in 3/4 time, but Link can also conduct in 4/4 time by moving the analog stick left and in 6/4 time by moving the analog stick right. The notes are then played by moving the C-stick to either the center, left, right, up, or down. Link can also play softer by moving the analog stick down and louder by moving it upward.
