| '''Windfall Island''' is a market town in the [[Great Sea]] region of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and is known for having the highest population of all the islands in the game. People from all over the world come to Windfall Island, and as such, the town is always lively. Many sailors have found their way here, although their ships are never around.

| [[File:Windfall Bridge.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Windfall Gate, one of Windfall Island's most famous features]]
| |
| There are multiple places of interest on the island, including a [[Chu Jelly Juice Shop|Potion Shop]], [[Bomb Shop#The Wind Waker|Bomb Shop]], a lighthouse and windmill, [[Mrs. Marie's School of Joy|school]], a [[Cafe Bar|cafe bar]], [[Auction|auction house]], and a prison. The huge gate at the entrance of town is known to be one of Windfall's most famous features.<ref>{{cite|That huge gate there at the entrance to town is one of Windfall Island's most famous features. No matter how much I see it, I never get tired of it, you know?|[[Kane]]|The Wind Waker}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| [[Link]] first encounters Windfall Island after being cast out of the [[Forsaken Fortress]] and rescued by the [[King of Red Lions]]. It soon becomes apparent that the entity at the fortress has taken its toll on the island in its search for young, pointy-eared girls.
| |
| | |
| The King of Red Lions immediately makes it clear that he neads a [[sail]] in order to travel the seas.<ref>{{cite|This is actually a bit embarrassing for me to admit, but...although I am indeed a boat that possesses the power of speech... I possess no sail. And a boat with no sail can sail no seas.|King of Red Lions|The Wind Waker}}</ref> Link first encounters the strange [[Zunari]], who offers him a sail for 80 [[Rupee]]s.<ref>{{cite|But dear me! As I traveled, a terrible storm descended and tore my ship to bits...yet mysteriously, only that escaped without so much as a mark on it... [...] How does...80 Rupees sound?|Zunari|The Wind Waker}}</ref> The Zunari-induced [[Island Trading Sequence]] in the game is central to this point, where Zunari eventually "retails" his flowers.
| |
| | |
| Here, [[Link]] gets to meet many interesting characters and get involved in numerous sidequests, such as that of [[Mrs. Marie|Mrs. Marie's]] [[Joy Pendant]] obsession and the [[Picto Box]] quest. There are many things to do and see here, so Link visits Windfall Island quite often, both for plot-related events and to simply help out the citizens of the town.

I've been watching him, thinking I'd try to learn that dance and compete with him from out here in the ocean... But I just can't seem to swing with that crazy, funky rhythm of his. That guy's incredible!}}

Now, seems like I'm the only person left in the world who still works in the bomb industry...|Bomb-Master Cannon|The Wind Waker}}</ref>, the Bomb Shop in Windfall Island is separated from the rest of the shops of Windfall. At first, the bombs here are too expensive for Link to even be able to afford.

You want to come to my island, don't you? Don't you? Don't you?

| |
| [[File:Lighthouse.png|250px|thumb|right|Windfall Lighthouse after being Reactivated]]
| |
| Prior to the events of ''The Wind Waker'', Windfall's lighthouse went dark for unknown reasons, and it has remained that way ever since.<ref>{{cite|I wonder how long it's been since the light in Windfall's lighthouse went dark...|[[Fishman]]|The Wind Waker}}</ref> Below it is a type of ferris-wheel that allows anyone to climb up to the lighthouse to get a better view. Before the lighthouse malfunctioned, it would send a bright shaft of light into the darkness to serve as a safety beacon.<ref>{{cite|Yeah, it used to send a bright shaft of light onto the night sea_sort of a safety beacon. ...But that was quite some time ago.|[[Kreeb]]|The Wind Waker}}</ref> The illumination device still works, however, and it continues to spin around despite that its fire has extinguished.<ref>{{cite|Even now, what's left of that lighthouse's illumination device still spins around up top, all night, every night. ...But its fire remains extinguished.|Kreeb|The Wind Waker}}</ref> Link can spark up the lighthouse by getting on top of the ferris wheel and shooting a [[Fire Arrow]] inside into the device, allowing it shine its grand ray of light. [[Kreeb]] will reward Link with Piece of Heart for fixing the lighthouse.
| |
| | |
| ===Mrs. Marie's School of Joy===
| |
| {{Main|School of Joy}}
| |
| [[Mrs. Marie]] is the town's teacher and has her own school near the lighthouse called the School of Joy.<ref>{{cite|Welcome to Mrs. Marie's School of Joy!|Mrs. Marie|The Wind Waker}}</ref> When Link talks to her, she explains of the problem she's had lately with a group of students known as the [[Killer Bees]].<ref>{{cite|There's this delinquent gang of four young boys who never listen to a word I say. Even though I wait patiently for those boys to show up, they never come. It's as if they don't want joy in their hearts!|Mrs. Marie|The Wind Waker}}</ref> Link can help Mrs. Marie with the little troublemakers to earn several items that will become useful later on in his quest.
| |
| | |
| ===Other Notable Locations===
| |
| Other places of interest include [[Lenzo]]'s house, where Link gets to know the famous photographer Lenzo as well as his vast gallery of [[pictograph]]s. There is also an enormous mansion called the [[House of Wealth]]<ref>{{cite|House of Wealth|Tingle via the [[Tingle Tuner]]|The Wind Waker}}</ref> that is home to [[Mila]] and [[Mila's Father|her father]], but later on Maggie and [[Maggie's Father|her father]] take ownership of it. The mansion also serves as the [[Auction|Auction House]] where the nightly auction takes place. Link can also play the [[Sinking Ships]] minigame in the [[Game Room]] in front of Mrs. Marie's school to win two Pieces of Heart.

| | |
| ==Theory==
| |
| {{Theory}}
| |
| It can be assumed that Windfall Island used to be [[Kakariko Village]] before the [[Great Flood]]. This is due to the similarities in the background music to the Kakariko Village in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. It is also relatively close to [[Dragon Roost Island]], which resembles [[Death Mountain]]. Also, the windmill could be the same windmill in Kakariko Village.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Windfall Island's theme tune is a remix of the music from Kakariko Village heard in ''A Link to the Past'' and ''Ocarina of Time''.
| |
| *Windfall Island holds eight [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]] in total, the most on a single island in ''The Wind Waker''.
| |
| *The sunken treasure of this island is marked by a [[Treasure Chart]] found inside the island itself (this chart is won through the auction run by [[Zunari]]).
| |
| *In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D|Ocarina of Time 3D]]'', there is a picture of Windfall Island in [[Lon Lon Ranch]].
| |
| *Windfall Island's German name, Port Monee, is based on the French word {{exp|Purse|Porte-monnaie}}, fitting its position as a market town. Similarly, its French name, Mercantîle, is likely a portmanteau of mercantile and {{exp|Island|île}}.
