Windfall Island is a market town in the Great Sea region of 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.

Features

There are multiple places of interest on the island, including a Potion Shop, Bomb Shop, a lighthouse and windmill, school, a cafe bar, auction house, and a prison. The huge gate at the entrance of town is known to be one of Windfall's most famous features. 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. 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'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.

Landmarks and Attractions

Bomb Shop

Main article: Bomb Shop

Owned by Bomb-Master Cannon, the last bomb-maker left in the entire sea, 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. It's only after Tetra and her crew of pirates tie Bomb-Master Cannon up and steal his bombs that he lowers the price.
